"content": "doubt, in that gallery from Migori are amazing small-scale entrepreneurs, starting with Eunice Achieng, who is a charcoal seller in Migori and the lady who is leading charcoal sellers in Migori. We have Mama Dorca Atieno who also leads the women in the market. Jack Ogola is the Chairperson of boda boda in Migori County. Steve Okwanyo, is the leader of boda boda in Suna West. Joelle Obala leads the group of people called the ‘Tipa’ drivers, or the lorry drivers in the town and Mama Dorothy Ochieng is also part of the boda boda circle in Migori County. Lastly, we have my manager, Mr. Henry Otieno. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this wonderful group of people are the most critical people because they are my employer. I appreciate that they employed me to come to this House. Most importantly, they have been struggling with what the Senate Majority Leader talked about, prices of commodities in their grassroots communities, for the services and the goods that they provide. In Migori County, they are forming different Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) which will help them negotiate prices of the services that they offer as well as the goods that they acquire from different stakeholders. They are here for a number of tours to visit different stakeholders. Therefore, it is a humbling moment to have them in this House because they made me who I am. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you might not know, but I was once a boda boda rider. The person who taught me how to ride a boda boda is that gentleman called Joel Obala. I even have a mark on my leg from a burn by the exhaust pipe of the boda boda . So, I owe a lot to them for making me who I am today. I hope that they will enjoy learning from the Senate as well as from the larger Nairobi City County. I hope that Sen. Sifuna will also get a chance to say a word with them when we get out there to get to know Nairobi City County. Welcome, and enjoy the debates in the Senate."

"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker Sir. I would like to join the Senator for Migori in welcoming both the delegation from Migori County and the team from Strathmore University here in Nairobi. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when Sen. Eddy was speaking, I was wondering whether the Chairperson of the boda boda is the one who is a bad teacher or whether the Senator is a bad student. This is because by the time somebody you are educating suffers such an injury, there should be a problem somewhere. It is a best day for both teams to be in the Senate because there is going to be proper debate happening here today and you are the people who are on the ground. As we say, ground ni tofauti. I do not know if you have listened to the things that the Senate Majority Leader was saying and whether you agree with him that the State of the Nation is as painted by him and the President of the Republic. However, we will leave it to your judgment, especially because you who have been introduced as boda boda, Mama Mboga and Mama Salon, were his closest friends. So, you are the ones to tell us how the situation is. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I celebrate the team from Strathmore University. This is a premier university in the country. We are proud of the work that you do in terms The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been in this Parliament long enough to witness the Parliament rise to acknowledge a speech to the two Houses by President Mwai Kibaki. I also witnessed the same standing ovation when it was given to President Uhuru Kenyatta. Last week, I saw the Houses rise and acknowledge a standing ovation for the speech by President William Ruto. Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, distinguished Senators, none of you lobbied in the two Houses last week, that at a particular pronouncement they should stand and give that ovation that they extended to the President. They did this spontaneously on the spur."
