    "content": "We need special schools for those children who were not immunized and who suffered the maladies of disabilities. We need to give those living with disability opportunities to excel in music, art and sports, because that has been seen. Now that we can access the media all over the world, you see many people who are living with disabilities managing and doing well in activities. It is incumbent upon us to challenge ourselves as leaders. For some of us who have shared closely with this hero, he is a man of wisdom and knowledge, humble, calm, straightforward and focused and fearless. That is why the United Nation Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has recognized him as a hero. In this country, there is a strategy not to recognize people, whereas the whole world can see men and women of repute and wisdom. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir you realise that the late Prof. Wangari Maathai was only recognized by a Nobel prize, while we, Kenyans, never bothered to recognize her at all but that is a forgone chapter in history. It is incumbent upon us that as we move on to celebrate our Independence Day on December 12th - I know the HANSARD - those people who sit in the Jubilee Coalition and the Committee which proposes distinguished Kenyans to be given awards will just send this to the relevant committees to consider giving this gentleman an award he deserves. It is also incumbent upon us, as a House, to come up with a law in this House of the Hall of Fame for the counties; for men and women of repute and wisdom. Men who have courageously served this nation; there are many Kipchumbas in this country. It is only that we have not had an opportunity to honor them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I reiterate my congratulations to one Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. He is a man of wisdom and repute. He is a man who has done a lot in this country. It is important that we speak to him so that he gets to know that he has contributed immensely to this country for the last 50 years. He is among men and women who need to be recognised. With those few remarks, I commend and support this Motion."
