It is also important to note that the resources we are talking about are taxes that are from the same Kenyans we are ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice on this important Statement. Before I do that, I want to join you in welcoming the students from Olkejuado High School from Kajiado County. Olkejuado High School is one of the best boys’ schools in the county. They are welcome to the Senate and they should know that the Senate represents the counties. They should enjoy their learning here. Bullying in our secondary schools should be looked into. The Ministry should put measures in place to protect our students. Students should not be bullied by their colleagues and ...
