Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I echo the sentiments of my distinguished brother across the Floor, but want to bring to your attention the fact that when schools come to Parliament, I believe they come to learn and see the House in action. Therefore, it is extremely unfair to any visiting school to be brought to the gallery at 5.00 p.m., yet we sit from 2.30 p.m. If we want these children to learn what their senior citizens do in this House, they should be allowed to come in at the start of the House, if possible see the Speaker’s procession, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be the last to intimidate anybody, least of all, the distinguished and pleasant young Senator for Kericho. Why do Bungoma and Kakamega counties have the highest schools unconnected? The connection reflects the commitment at budgetary level, to counties, schools and regions. Secondly, I have seen in Trans Nzoia County, where Sen. Mukiite and Sen. Ndiema come from, schools that are barely a kilometer away from the gridline being installed with solar panels. Is this to service the usual corruption and kickbacks in the Jubilee regime, for those who are importing these panels? Everybody knows that ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I join you in welcoming the students and teachers of Precious Blood Secondary School, Riruta. This is one of the most distinguished and successful schools in this country that has consistently done exceptionally well in examinations. I hope that as they visit the Senate, the young girls are picking up some good habits from the Senators and discarding the bad ones. We look forward to the school maintaining its lead in academia. I hope your principal, Mrs. Akatsa, maintains the decorum to keep the school to what it is. Congratulations.
