Speaking during a Senate sitting on Wednesday, November 11, Cherargei compared Kajwang' to Moses and King Solomon in the Bible, citing his wisdom, experience and ability to offer sound advice.
The Nandi senator said Kajwang' had become increasingly focused and consistent in his contributions, earning respect for the way he handles matters affecting the country.
Cherargei also suggested that Kajwang's strong position on accountability had made him unpopular with some governors. According to him, the Homa Bay senator does not shy away from questioning county leaders and demanding answers when public resources are involved.
His remarks came at a time when the Senate continues to play a key role in overseeing county governments and examining how public funds are used across the 47 counties.
As the country's upper house, the Senate is constitutionally mandated to represent county interests and exercise oversight over national revenue allocated to county governments. Senators regularly question governors over financial management, development projects and the use of public resources.
Kajwang' has been among the senators involved in discussions on county affairs, making his role in holding county leaders accountable an important part of the ongoing Senate business.
Cherargei's public praise also offered an interesting moment of recognition across the political divide, showing that senators can acknowledge one another's contribution despite differences in political positions.
The comparison with biblical figures Moses and King Solomon was particularly notable, given the wisdom and leadership qualities traditionally associated with the two figures.
His remarks have brought fresh attention to Kajwang's conduct in the Senate and the importance of accountability in county leadership.
Do you agree with Cherargei that Moses Kajwang' deserves the title of the Senate's Solomon of wisdom?
