So, I want to join you in welcoming these pupils and teachers from Golden Plains Academy, Kitengela, Kajiado County. There are eight teachers and 41 pupils who are in the Senate for a one-day academic exposition. It is always an interesting time when students get an opportunity to watch the proceedings of the House. It is unfortunate that by the time these students arrived, many of our colleagues have already checked out for the day, but it does not mean that they are not working. We have immediately after this wall, there is what is referred to as a Senators Lounge where many of our colleagues follow debates from the House and if there is a need for them to come and respond to something, they walk back into the House. It does not mean that if you see the chairs empty, it goes without a fact that Senators are not around. I can tell you that had you been here at 2.30 p.m., the House would have been nearly full. So, I hope they get to interact with the Senators, learn and get to understand what is happening. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."},{"id":1545668,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1545668/?format=json","text_counter":223,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

A committee is the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget where he sits, sat down, considered the report of Kenya's debt situation from the Treasury and now they are sending a report back to the House. What he is doing is called moving a report after which it will be seconded and opened for debate after which Members will vote. So that is one of the many things that we do in this particular House. I wish them well in their studies because these are the leaders of our country presently and in the future and for those who want to pursue a future in political leadership in this country, they are welcome to do so. This is a very fulfilling profession, never mind all the difficulties that come with it. I wish you well in all that you are up to and in your journey back to Kajiado County."},{"id":1545669,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1545669/?format=json","text_counter":224,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
