    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would have done a disservice to the people of Homa Bay if I did not comment on this Motion. There is a place called Kanyadhiang in Karachuonyo in Homa Bay County. This place lays claim to the Obama Family. Therefore, I take this opportunity to inform my brother and senior, Senator for Siaya, that the original root of the Obama Family is in Kanyadhiang in Karachuonyo. They just have relatives in Siaya. They are squatters in the United States of America (USA). Sen. G.G. Kariuki said that it does not matter. However, in our culture, we take it seriously. Ancestry and relations are things that cannot just be blown away by the wind. I welcome President Obama and congratulate him for the great things that he has done globally. The lesson we learn out of this visit is that we do not need to own land the size of a province or the size of a school playground to be a leader or a great person. It is the humility and the little things we do that make us great. The Bible in the beatitudes says that blessed are the poor for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. You do not need to rely on the tyranny of numbers. You can be a minority and come from a nondescript community but still ascend to the highest level. The Bible also says that blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. I want to welcome President Obama again and call on our colleagues that when visitors come, we withdraw our dirty linen; we welcome the visitors and make them feel at home. When they leave, we can continue with our battles. 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."
