On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Today, several groups of school children came in and went out of the Public Gallery of the Senate and outside our tradition, we did not recognize them. It is so encouraging to these schools, when they are seated in that gallery, for us to acknowledge them. So, in future, make sure that there is communication. Let us recognize them even as we transact our business. It has become a tradition and it is crystallized.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Sonko in order? According to the Standing Orders, Sen. Wetangula is addressed as the Senate Minority Leader. Here, our Minority is quite slim.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I would like to say something about the visitors from the Pan-African University. Since I joined the Wiper Party I have started having a great appreciation of bright colours. I used to see Sen. Mutula Kilonzo (Snr.) with yellow suits and green ties and wondered. That was when I used to work at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR). I remember Sen. Mbuvi introducing me to his outfitter. He called me to his office saying: “Come, there is someone selling good suits.” The suits were red, green and indigo in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, schools have acronyms nowadays. Alliance Boys High School is widely referred to as ‘Bush.’ Lenana School where I was is referred to as ‘Changes.’ Nairobi School is referred to as “Patch.’ We definitely share different generations of life.

There were intellectuals who powered the academic and political spheres of Africa through learning, debate and critique. Great African leaders were public intellectuals who ended up being people who took ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to welcome and remind them that they have such an important challenge ahead of them; to recast this net of Pan-Africanism and redefine it, so that it can define our African sphere. It is quite ambiguous right now and that is why most of our African states, including South Sudan, are failing.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Mombasa County I welcome the students to the Senate and to wish them well. We have encouraged students here before, to go out there and work extremely hard. The challenge of this nation rests in young people. The challenge of this nation rests on how they graduate from school in terms of their views towards professionalism, nationalism and all these other values that are positive for this nation. I acknowledge the fact that 70 percent of the Kenyan population is made up of people below the age of 35. We ...
