Thus far, Sakaja is an inspiration to many of his generationIn dire times like this, it is useful to refocus from our difficult circumstances and celebrate people or occurrences that are uplifting. Today, my focus is Nairobi’s young legislator Senator Sakaja Johnson (). Many will not know but Clause 99(5) and (6) on population quota in the Constitution was written word for word by yours truly and Senator Sakaja in the Naivasha trenches. Those who follow the Senate proceedings will know that the Nairobi Senator is one of the most versatile legislators, whether by virtue of bills presented or involvement in debate. I recognise that politics, and indeed public affairs, are a marathon and it is too early to give lifetime awards, but thus far in his journey, the young senator is an inspiration to many of his generation.
