I have one old boy from Alliance High School, Hon. Mungatana. In under one minute, you will extend a word of welcome to the students of Alliance High School. Sen. Onyonka will extend a word of welcome to the students from Starehe Boys’ Centre. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you go to school in St. Mary’s Yala, you sound the way I do. After that, when you go to the University of Nairobi (UoN) with impeccable grades because you went to Yala, the only people we disliked were Alliance High School because they were better than us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very proud of my son who now goes to Alliance. He is in Form 2. I want to encourage the students who have come from Alliance High School and Starehe Boys’ Centre. I believe that the history and culture of both the institutions are highly regarded and respected. I hope that the students will have an opportunity to engage and listen to what debate is. They will see how the Speaker behaves and how we, who are the elected Members of the Kenyan community, behave. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also welcome the team from Turkana. When we visited the county about three weeks ago, the county assembly was complete. They had already set up their HANSARD equipment and were just sorting out the air conditioning system. The furniture was in place. These are champions of devolution. Thank you very much, keep doing the good work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."

I am glad that one of them is the house captain of Greve House, which was our neighbor. Those days, I also served as house captain of Arthur House. The Alliance High School has produced many great people. In fact, the first Cabinet of the Republic of Kenya was populated by students or old boys from that school. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have maintained that tradition of taking leadership in this Republic of Kenya. I am very proud that tradition has been maintained. Even in this Senate, our Speaker is a product of Alliance High School. I encourage the students who have come from there today that it is possible, it can be done. You can excel in business, your profession, politics, leadership and religion. Just keep working hard. May God bless you as you continue in your journey. I thank you."

However, if you follow the principle that sons are better than fathers, then I am a more refined product than Alliance because my own father went to Alliance. That means I am even better than Alliance."

These are two very distinct and excellent institutions that have produced some of Kenya's finest gentlemen. They are here on a study tour to interact with our staff and Members of the Senate to learn and be molded into the gallant men that we all expect them to be, so that when they take up the role of leadership in this country at the various spheres of life, they will do greater than the present generation.

"content": "Lastly is to appreciate the County Assembly of Turkana. They hosted us very well when we visited Turkana and we had promised to revenge. I hope the “revenge” from the Senate side has been worth the while because it has taken a long time before their staff have joined us. I hope that they have interacted and met all the people that they need to meet. We appreciate the partnership that exists between county assemblies and the Senate. Devolution is under tremendous threat from corruption in this day and age. As the anchors of the devolution and the institutions charged with oversight, I will ask them to focus their attention in making sure that corruption does not thrive in their county under their watch. There were reports last week about the things that are happening in Turkana that anybody that loves devolution would be concerned about. I hope the County Assembly is doing something about it. Eventually, when those reports get to the Senate, should any of the people listed be found culpable, this House will do justice for the people of Turkana. I am only saddened since the former Speaker was a very good friend of mine. We served with him as Members in this House for the last two terms. Unfortunately, he seems to have fallen out with the County Assembly and he is now out. Nonetheless, that is the power of democracy. I wish the new Speaker, who is part of the delegation, well. May he serve to the great goodness of the people of Turkana. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
