"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak on a Motion ably moved by a Member of my Committee, Sen. Adan and seconded by Sen. Lesuuda. We are all very proud of Lupita Nyong’o for the unprecedented win of the Oscar Award at the 86th Academic awards ceremony. Since she won, it is important to note that most of the critics who have written about her win have actually lauded her for what one critic said; bringing a breath of fresh air in Hollywood. Her talent is raw. In other words, a breath of fresh air has been brought to the Hollywood which has been there for the 86 years through our own Kenyan lady. She has a great future ahead of her and she has made Kenya, Africa and the black people wherever they are proud. It was very interesting to note that an article appeared in a Uganda daily newspaper yesterday saying that she had also made Uganda proud because it can be identified as a neighbour to Kenya where Ms. Lupita was born. So, we are all very proud of her. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate her parents, Dorothy and Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for providing a very exemplary example on how to bring up children, nurture them and guide them. We learnt that each and every one of us in this world has unique talents bestowed upon them by God. Therefore, the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
