• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not need a lot of time. I rise to support this Motion. I celebrate and salute Eliud Kipchoge, Brigid Kosgei, Timothy Cheruiyot and all the other Kenyans who have ran and done us proud. I also salute all the athletics team that participated in the IAAF World Athletics Championship in Qatar between 27th September and 6th October, 2019. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: As I speak, Eliud Kipchoge has been nominated for IAAF Male World Athlete of the Year Award. These are some of the things we need to be campaigning for to make sure he gets it. Of course, he will get it. Sometimes we become spectators in these kinds of things. Hopefully, this county will play its part to ensure that he, for obvious reasons, becomes the Male Athlete of the Year Award, 2019 holder. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Sometimes the Ethiopians run too close to us and it is not very comfortable to us. However, we know very well that if we moved from raw talent to guided, supported, well-practiced and well-nurtured talent, nobody will run anywhere close to us. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said that the greatest things we should be looking at is, perhaps, endorsements and things like that. I believe very much in deeds and not words. The women movement got where it is today because of deeds and not words. I will challenge Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that he and I should look into certain frameworks rather than seeking for endorsements. We need to think of what to put in place, so that international bodies follow certain frameworks that protects the rights of our citizens and for us to get our rightful share in the world. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: In terms of the national outlook when our athletes come home, we should practice deeds not words. If we know that he is coming today, for example, what have we done individually? Leadership is about individual action to reach out to the people. Since we know the time he is coming, we need to be at the airport to welcome him, instead of waiting for somebody to call or invite us to go there and welcome him. We are leaders in this country and free to go anywhere. I am saying this for myself, and have made a note. If ... view

• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, very much Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this very important Motion. I would also like to correct certain misconceptions about conservation and how trees grow and thrive. Before I do that I would like to bring the attention of the House to the link between land and forests. The underlying issue about conservation, especially of forests, is land. Article 61 of the Constitution on classification of land states as follows:- “All land in Kenya belongs to the people of Kenya collectively as a nation, as communities and as individuals.” I know that Sen. Wetangula has ... view
