• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: is aware of them, where your neighbours and their children matters to you and a child belonged to the community and was brought up together with the community. These are the cultural values that we are lacking and missing today and sometimes when we are talking about the adverse effects of mental health or behavior - as we saw on Monday what happened to the lady who was assaulted on the road--- When you see some of these behaviors, we have to think to ourselves as a society.

• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I remember about three or four years ago being in Shamakhokho, Vihiga County, watching the young men go into the forest for their circumcision rights. When they came out, the amount of colour and pomp that happened on the streets was absolutely amazing.

We can book rooms and celebrate with them as they perform their cultural practices every year. view

I would like to celebrate one of the heroes of the Akamba people. The Akamba people are known to have been long distance walkers. They used to walk. It was written by Dr. Ludwig Krapf, how, one time when he was in the Congo, he met these interesting people who told him that they had come from the East and they had walked for three moons, meaning three months. That is how they ... view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: is a hill, kya translates to of and Nzalu because it is difficult to climb. You can imagine how Dr Ludwig went and wrote it at that time. It is therefore good to know that some of these names actually came from those days and they came from practical experiences of our own people when they were trying to describe these things. A lot more went one. For example, the Yatta Plateau, you would wonder how the name Yatta came about.
