A niece of the late Robert Ouko, she was interested in politics in 1992. She recalls how she realized where her fate was in 1990s, when she followed her family discussions on political developments in the country. She used to follow keenly political activists like Paul Muite and James Orengo since she had an interest in people’s rights and justice. She gained experience in developing a solid manifesto and campaign structure during the campaigns of her husband Eric Nyamunga, former Nyando MP. In her manifesto, she promised economic empowerment for the youth and women, adult education for women, mentorship for girls and sports opportunities in the county.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity again. First, I want to say that, generally, I am an independent-minded person and I do not believe in dependency. That is what motivated me to come up with this Bill.

I started working on this Bill immediately I joined the Senate. It took a long time because it drew a lot of interest from the governors. They wanted to introduce some clauses that made it to become a Money Bill. For that reason, it had to go to the National Assembly where it took a bit of time. We had to recall it because it was not going through. That is why it has taken so long.

I thank all the Senators. I feel indebted to them. We have had many contributions to this Bill. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve who seconded this Bill. I may not have time to go through each and every contribution that each Member made, but I have taken notes. They have really enriched this Bill.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, taking into consideration the work that has been done in this country’s infrastructure, I congratulate the President because what he has done may not be seen today. However, some 10, 20, 30 or 40 years to come, every Kenyan will understand that it was important to expand our infrastructure. After expanding it, it becomes easy for the rest to fall into place.

What is now important for all of us is to get the best president who will move this country. First of all, they should get rid of corruption. Secondly, they should bring unity in this country and finally jumpstart the economy. That can be done by none other than President Raila Amolo Odinga.

I believe in his track record. I believe he is the best person who will move this country and also put governors “on toes”. Right now, governors are not doing enough other than whining about the national cake. That is the only thing they are concentrating on instead of doing their work. Any time money delays, there is a lot of cry.

Governors have made many traders and business people go on their knees because of their lack of thinking outside of the box. Our counties are endowed with a lot of resources. If only---

He has to put them “on toes”. If he keeps giving them money all the time, how will they think outside the box and develop resources that they have? The President has to do that. Governors must be put on toes. All county employees must also be put “on toes” because we do not want cries all the time when the national Government is also constrained by resources that they collect from businesses. Otherwise, I am very grateful and thank all of us. Above all, I beg to reply.
