Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not send greetings because the Senator for Kakamega has done what people from his county are good at. However, I went to Lenana School and we used to beat Alliance High School in Rugby, once in a while in drama and when it came to the ladies, but they used to beat us in academics. I congratulate the teachers and students of this great school for upholding the high academic standards.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Kakamega, whom I respect a lot, has said that some Members of this House have been associated with corruption at the National Youth Service (NYS). Could he substantiate which Members of this House he is referring to, because I am a Member of this House and I have not been mentioned with regard to the NYS?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Bill. When Sen. M. Kajwang’ seconds a Bill moved by Sen. Murkomen, it shows the nation that there is hope that we are not partisan as a Senate and we focus on the national good when it comes to serious business.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to welcome Sen. Cheruiyot. He was elected by the people of Kericho. I heard some people say that he was elected by a computer. But I know he was elected by people of Kericho. It is them who went to the polls to elect their Senator. With his election, the average age of this Senate has suddenly dropped. He brings in some freshness and vigour. Whereas the average age could have been 65, it has suddenly dropped to about 60 by the arrival of Sen. Cheruiyot.
