"content": "office, and we shared a cup of tea; little did I know that it would be the last time we met with Sir Charles, as we fondly called him. Therefore, I extend my pole to his constituents, friends and loved ones. I pray for a speedy resolution of the investigations into the heinous act that led to his untimely demise. Lastly, many Members have addressed the security concerns faced by both parliamentarians and the public. Members should not be embarrassed to advocate for better protection. The work we do today is not easy. The way we vote and the decisions we make expose us to individuals who may dislike us for reasons beyond our control, some simply because we are politicians. Unfortunately, the hatred towards leaders has been normalised. It often starts on social media, where people cheer on, believing it is normal to demonize public figures, insult them, or even celebrate their death. It may seem funny on the social media until it escalates, as witnessed in the case of the Hon. Charles Ongondo Were. Nobody should normalize hate. Kenya is a constitutional democracy. If you do not like the way certain public official conducts their affairs, there is a constitutional and legal way through which you can step up to the platform and offer better leadership than what that particular individual does. However, it has become the norm and the order of the day to curse Members of Parliament (MPs) and various leaders as if they are second to the devil. This is being celebrated by other people, including even colleague leaders sometimes. It is an issue that should be of concern to anybody that is right-thinking and cares for the future of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must build a society that is tolerant of each other. We shall never agree on everything. We shall never view the world with the same pair of lenses. What we must learn---"

I hope they will be inspired by what they have seen in the Senate and encouraged to pursue leadership in the future. When schools visit the Senate, they experience Parliament firsthand, they can see the Mace and the Speaker. In every examination, there are always questions about Parliament. I am confident that when they return, they will perform better in their studies. I hope this visit will encourage, inspire, and instil hope in them to strive for greater achievements in their lives. I send them back home to Makueni, Nunguni, Kilungu in Kaiti Constituency, with warm greetings. I hope that they have learned and will remember this day all their lives. I thank you. Sen. Kavindu and Sen. Karen Nyamu, just take your seat."
