"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that Sen. Karaba needs more historical information. I can confirm for certain that Mzee ole Ntimama is a very respected Maasai elder. He has represented the Maasai community in this country for many years, but he originated from Meru and is very proud about it. Last year, I took him to Meru to show him the village that they came from and he was very happy even to support the school in that village. So, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Even some of the Europeans here originated from the United Kingdom a long time ago, but are Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was giving a good example of an elder who should be sitting in the Senate because of his great experience and knowledge. Even in the county assemblies, there should be a percentage of seats reserved for the elderly, so that our society can have continuity. A society which just floats in the air and has no roots, is not a society worth its dream. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
