We have to bite the bullet and say, “to hell with nominations, let men and women compete to become elected.” I have close friends in this House who are nominated. I am not saying this with their names on my mind. In fact, my immediate neighbour, Sen. Nyamu can kick me on the side if she thought that I am having her in mind. We want to make Kenya better. I am a father of a number of girls. I teach them every day that just like they beat boys in class, if your time comes to replace or copy me in politics go and beat men. There is a famous lady here, Sen. Tabitha Keroche, she beat great men in Nakuru County. This is what we want to teach our children. We want to teach them to compete. I know Sen. Ogola wants to kill me, but this is it. Nominations are being abused from left, right to centre. I support."}
