    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This being my first time to speak after being elected by Jubilee Party Senators as the Deputy Majority Whip, I wish to thank them for their decision and I will live to their expectations. I agree with other Senators both from the majority and minority side that, that was a well-thought-out decision. Extraordinary times and circumstances call for extraordinary decisions. It is true that life after COVID-19 in the whole world will never be the same. After this, people should take advantage of new ICT to ensure that even their universities of choice are able to conduct virtual training from wherever they are in the world, including Oxford University, Harvard University and even our University of Nairobi (UoN). Therefore, people do not have to travel all the way to spend accommodation and other unnecessary costs to ensure that they are in the location of the university. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with COVID-19, even the world emissions have drastically reduced because most aeroplanes are not flying anymore. We are still surviving and the environment is breathing. Therefore, in our set up, we, as Senators, I think we should not be left out of technology. We should be able to transact our business technologically like the other Members have said. Since we are called upon to make decisions on behalf of Kenyans, we must be there to do just so. Finally, I wish to thank His Excellency, President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, for accepting us, as the leaders of this House. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
