• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in welcoming the students and the student leaders. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: First, as we welcome them, I would like to tell them that their future is very bright in this country. However, it is bright for those who work hard and for those who concentrate and do what must be done when you are a student. The time of being a student is so limited. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Basic education in Kenya is recognised from Pre-primary One (PP1) to form four. The period is so limited that if you waste it, you lose it. I wish you well. You are very fortunate to have come to the Senate. When some of us were students, there was nothing to inspire us because Parliament was a no-go zone. Now, you can come and see your leaders, your Members of Parliament (MPs) and see where people come from. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: All the Members in this House were once students as yourselves. So, I encourage the students that as they go, they work hard, stay focused and the sky is the limit. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the student leaders, I am happy to welcome them. I worked in the university for over 21 years. In my time at the university, we saw ‘A’ students go back to zero because they come to the university as if it is for the sake of the parents. So, they seem to be working for the parent instead of working for themselves. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: I ask the student leaders, because you are the leaders and have been entrusted by the other students that you must be their role models. You should be the ones who are leading, not just in the affairs of the students, but also in the academic part of leadership. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: We encourage you that the beginning of leadership has started for you. If you look at this Senate, we have Senators who were student leaders. If they give you their Curriculum Vitaes (CVs), you will be shocked that their leadership started in university, colleges and some in high schools. So, you have been given an opportunity by the students. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: However, let me tell you the hallmark of all this is self-discipline. If you are not self-disciplined, you will face the committee that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar chaired for eight years in the university. I was Chairing the disciplinary committee and was shocked that an ‘A’ student, who did not need money, can be influenced to go and steal a book from another student. I encourage you that as leaders that discipline is the first thing. view
• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Secondly, you are going to be the role models. You are the Kenyans we are waiting for; the Kenyans of tomorrow. Our time is running out age wise and we are expecting you to take care of this country beyond this. Personal discipline charts a way for yourself and for your families. Never study for your parents, but for yourself. I know you know this because you are already in leadership. If you do not use your leadership well, you will not reach where leaders such Sen. Orengo, who is now a Governor, was because he was in the same ... view
