"content": "name Kipchumba is associated with great things. That is why we have a great and eloquent Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet called Kipchumba. Now, we have Sen. Harold Kipchumba who is the champion for polio. A number of Senators have mentioned that. I agree with them that any Kipchumba in Kalenjin Community is a person who has made a difference and is recognized. That is why we have brought this Motion to congratulate former Sen. Harold Kipchumba for the good work that he has done for this country although he is no longer a Senator. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I call upon every person whether physically challenged or not, that they can make a difference in life. There is nothing in this life that is not possible. The condition that you were born in is not a limitation to what you can achieve in life. Everybody has a dream and you can achieve it if you work hard for it. Sen. Kipchumba has done the best and as other Senators, including Sen. Kanainza have said, let me repeat that, it is our humble request to the Government to recognize Sen. Kipchumba and reward him for what he has done for this country. There are other people who have been recognized in a special way. If the Government can recognize the efforts of Sen. Kipchumba, we will have many other people like him coming up to ensure that this country is healthy and we have a population that is ready to work and deliver on behalf of this country. There are a number of countries that have completely wiped out polio. It is possible for Kenya to be free from Polio and other disabilities. That will be a great reward to Sen. Kipchumba for the great work that he is doing. I believe one day and time, we will celebrate what he did by fighting polio when Kenya will be free from it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, once again, I congratulate the Mover of the Motion, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'- Nyong'o, from Kisumu. I believe that because of this discussion, we will make progress and see more people making sacrifices for the sake of this country. I beg to support."
