"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, when Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko was speaking, I was reminded of the words written by Apostle Luke who wrote the Book of Acts. The Book of Acts 17:11 says: - “Now the Beroean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” When he quoted the Book of Genesis, I asked whether he was sure. Like the Beroeans, I examined the scripture and it is true that there is a decree in Genesis 1:28. It says: - “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” When Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve spoke, she reminded me of the land where my great grandparents and other ancestors are buried in a village called Bushiangala, Ikolomani in Kakamega County. Ikolomani got its name from the word ‘Gold mine’. At around the year 1935, Rosterman mined the area for 17 years and got gold worth Kshs4 billion. However, when you go to Bushiangala, Isulu and many areas in Ikolomani starting from Sigalagala all the way to Kakamega, the level of poverty is possibly one of the highest in this country. Currently, the gold in what is called the Lirhanda Corridor is worth Kshs171 billion. I wish Sen. Cherargei listened to Sen. (Dr.) Zani. Whenever Sen. (Dr.) Zani speaks, you hear the evidence of education because she has interacted with this subject matter quite deeply in the last Senate and in this one as well. It will do well for the people"
