It is widely acknowledged that Machakos County is Nairobi’s bedroom. That is what they call it. So, it is in order that I welcome the delegation from Daystar University to the Senate. I have a history with the university. The Nairobi Campus has fantastic facilities. I remember the first time I ran for Senator for Nairobi, Daystar University organised a debate for senatorial candidates. That was the only debate for all the Senate seats. I do not remember anybody else having a senatorial debate because most were happening at the level of governors going forward. At that time, there was a young man called Aloys Otieno, who was the president of the student body. I continue to mentor that young man because I would like him to become the Senator for Nairobi City at some point. I have been consistent that I will not be the Senator for Nairobi City forever. I am sure colleagues here will agree that we must mentor the young generation to also come and join us here. I take this opportunity to welcome you to this Senate. Some of you look like my voters. You can tell a voter in Nairobi from very far. I do not mean to disrespect other voters from anywhere else. I hope that every day I do you proud as your Senator. I hope you will have a good visit. Enjoy yourselves. If there is anyone in this Senate whom you would want to shake hands with, including the Speaker, let me know. I will make sure that I put in a good word for you, so that when we go out there, we can shake hands and pass niceties to each other. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."},{"id":1521799,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1521799/?format=json","text_counter":58,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
