"content": "journalism and these other courses as option “b” of our career, but Ms. Lupita has been a motivation to many people and even to our parents who think that some courses are not the best to be taken. As we celebrate Ms. Lupita, we are doing it as Kenyans and Africa. It kills tribalism and we see ourselves as Kenyans. Madam Temporary Speaker, one day, I remember Churchill saying that his parents are still waiting for the time he will be employed. This is because they do not appreciate what he is doing whereas he has been able to nurture so many other people like Eric Omondi and even Mwalimu Wanjiku that we celebrate. This is a good opportunity that was given to Ms. Lupita by the parents. I also want to hail the role that the parents have played to make sure that Ms. Lupita’s dream comes true. At the same time, this is a challenge to young people. We see many young people growing up with talent in primary and secondary schools, but unfortunately, it dies as they mature. This is maybe because they lack role models or they are forced to take specific courses in school. We also need to appreciate the local programmes on our local television stations like Vitimbi, Vioja Mahakamani and even Tahidi High. In most cases, people lack opportunities. As Sen. Lesuuda said, in Samburu people are very proud to see her in the Senate. Even in the larger western region, people are proud to see a young Senator representing them here. I also want to thank Sen. Ong’era who has just left and my political party ODM for giving me an opportunity to represent the young people here. I stand today as a proud Kenyan and congratulate Ms. Lupita by saying that success is equal to hard work. I conclude with a quote by Nightingale; “We become what we think about”."
