    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to commend Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for bringing this Motion to commend a hero of not only this nation, but the world. There is a saying that when one door closes, God opens bigger doors. This is what happened to Sen. Harold Kipchumba who has had a passion for human rights activism for a long time. He has not only fought for people living with disabilities, but for the second liberation of this country. Many people know that Sen. Harold Kipchumba wanted change when he stood up against successive governments during the fight for the second liberation of this nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Harold Kipchumba’s recognition by the UNICEF is a great stride for this country. He stood for what was close to his heart. I saw him on television on several occasions, with a beaming smile while advocating for mass immunization for children who have a chance for immunization unlike him who never had the opportunities that we have today. There are families today who keep children who are disabled under the carpets. It is important, with the advent of the information we now have, that families, members of the public, Members of Parliament and all activists join the work which has been started and well done by Sen. Kipchumba as we commend him today. 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."
