Hezena Lemaletian","speaker_title":"The Nominated Senator","speaker":null,"content":"Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to recognise a few outstanding ladies who played a major role in shaping who I am today. First and foremost, I recognise my aunt, Commissioner Sofia Lebushirit, EBS, who is my role model since I was in Class Four and the first Samburu girl to go to university. From the moment I saw her somewhere in the streets of Maralal Town, I made sure that one day I would go to the university and be a great states woman in this country."}
