    "content": "Additionally, may I note to my fellow hon. Members that she has been one of the longest serving Commissioners of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). I also pay a special gratitude to Ms. Doreen Hayanga Wasike, who is my National Director for Miss Commonwealth, who natured me. She gave me a platform and polished a naive and timid girl into a leader, who is fearless and can stand before kings and presidents in global functions and stages, most notably, last year, speaking at African Women Summit alongside the Vice President of Liberia, Her Excellency Jewel Howard- Taylor, who has since become another notable mentor in my life. I profoundly acknowledge the blessings I received from the elders of the nine clans of Samburu when I set out to vie for the position of Woman Representative, coming straight out of the beauty pageant industry without any political experience. They bestowed the honour and under uncommon occurrence to endorse a young girl to run for a county office. I will not fail to recognise the steady support of the youth and women who traversed various villages in Samburu to campaign for me without a single coin. Some of them even slept on the road. They proved to me that, in deed, the movement I started which was dubbed ‘Youth for Youth’ is unstoppable. I promise them that I will convey their hopes and inspirations. I will show in word and action that the youth represents the very best of our country today and in the future. I will endeavour to expedite actionably known fronts to advance the interest of the youths, the under privileged and the minority communities."
