Members, need to know is that the space that we have right now is as a result of her fiery and courageous fight. At the time when she was a legislator, Parliament was a small department in the office of the President and many of the things that were going on in this House were actually controlled remotely from the office of the President. I want to say that to her it is a pointer that women can achieve even at tender ages. Hon. Speaker, it is also a pointer that, even us, as hon. Members of this House need to fight for our people. During her time, the late Chelegat saw the resettlement of so many people. She could have used her position to grab large tracks of land, but instead she gave it out to very poor ordinary citizen. She died a poor lady not because she was not able to have grabbed land. I think by that time, it was possible for her to grab even the largest tracks of land in Uasin Gishu, but because of her conscience, belief and philosophy she wanted to let the people that she represented gain first. That is the same thing that we need to get when we are in this House today. Lifestyles and the living standard of our people need to be upped so that we will be remembered. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also need to say that as a House, we need to care for one another."
