    "content": "Member of Parliament at Independence. Nakuru had Wafula Wabuke, Lwali Oyondi, Mark Mwithaga elected there. If you look at those names, you can see Kenyans who come from extreme corners of the country coming into Nakuru, though not as cosmopolitan as Nairobi, but getting elected. That is the character of Nakuru that we want to see; a truly cosmopolitan city where Lwali Oyondi from a village in Butere stands and is elected as MP, is liked by everybody, serves everybody and becomes a successful person. I would want to encourage Nakuru to remain what it is. We have hon. Arama from the Kisii nation who is an MP there. We have a young man called Palang’a, although he is from Naivasha, not Nakuru town, who is an elected MCA. This is the kind of thing that you will find in Tanzania. Sen. M. Kajwang’s brother is an MCA in Nakuru. This is a truly successful political family appearing on the charts of Homa Bay, Nairobi and Nakuru. I do not know where else they will appear. In order to give others a chance to speak because we have several things ahead of us, we want to support this elevation. However, we want to call the governor of Nakuru County and his team to order. The criminality of collecting street children--- I agree with Sen. Murkomen that the value of society is measured by how you treat your disadvantaged citizens like the disabled, the aged, defenseless children, and people with mental disabilities. Just because you have a child who has got a mental infirmity, you do not lock them in the bedroom when visitors come to your home so that they may not see that you have a child with a deformity. I am sure this runs through all African communities that a child is a child, regardless. The shameful act of collecting children from the streets and it has unfortunately happened in Nakuru and Eldoret when the governor of Uasin Gishu County collected children and dumped them at the leprosy Center in Alupe and others he went and dumped them in Kitale. To him, they look like Luhyas."
