    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I know speaking after Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, a medical practitioner, is not very easy. First, I would like to commend Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for bringing this very important Motion before this House. I also congratulate Sen. Harold Kipchumba who was one of us in this House for the exemplary work that he has done and continues to do until he has been recognised as the 2015 UN Kenya Person of the Year. I would like to thank Sen. Mutahi Kagwe for what he said, that it is not very often that we celebrate the work that Kenyans do while they are still alive or here at home. We celebrate them much later after they are long gone and most of them are celebrated outside the country. So, this is a very important Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important to look at the issues surrounding the reason why Mr. Harold Kipchumba was given this award. I would also like to commend him. After he left this House, he did not wallow in self-pity but he went out for a cause that has changed lives. Those children who have been vaccinated will be forever grateful to their parents for heeding the call and also to him for raising awareness about vaccination. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kipchumba turned the situation when he was outside this House. The world gave him lemon and he made lemonade out of it. He has made a great impact in our country. We celebrate him. 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."
