    "content": "It is on page 339 at the very bottom. This is important to us. We refer to this river in two stages. When upstream, it is called Lukose River. It flows all the way from Tiriki, goes to Idakho, Kisa and just before it exits Kisa East, the river ceases to be called River Lukose, it is then called Iyala. When you now call it River Yala at this point, you are referring to Yala River in Siaya. We want our children to be taught the proper names of our rivers. The old men who answered to that question at the time of independence might have been Luos, thus the white man recorded it as Yala. However, when I was growing up, I knew that River Yala was somewhere in Siaya. Our river is called River Lukose. It has got hippopotamus that are unique. Kakamega is a wonderful place. We have two rivers which are 20 kilometres apart running parallel. One is called Isiukhu and the other one is called Lukose. All of them drain into River Nzoia. The beauty of Kakamega is that when you go to River Lukose, you will get hippopotamus, but when you move 20 kilometres from there to River Isiukhu that also drains into River Nzoia, you do not get a single hippopotamus. Instead, you will get crocodiles. It is so beautiful. That is why, when I become the Governor of Kakamega County, I will market it as a tourists destination. These things will attract tourists to Kakamega County. Our governors are sleeping on the job. I pray every day that the people of Kakamega County will choose to elect me as the Governor of Kakamega County. If they do so, I will deliver. I support this important Bill."
