Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on my behalf, that of the people of Soy Constituency and on behalf of the Kositany family to mourn with fellow Kenyans following the departure of President Moi. We remember President Moi for his touching speech where he asked for forgiveness from those he may have wronged. He also forgave those who may have wronged him. We remember him for handing over power peacefully despite the chaos and the insults that he encountered. One of the key and very disturbing moments I know President had throughout his ruling career was the 1982 coup. It ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Kamket has raised a very pertinent issue. When recruitment used to be done at the sub-county level, it cushioned many of our constituents because they can cycle or walk to the sub-county headquarters. But now it will be done at the county headquarters. In Uasin Gishu, it will be held at the 64 Stadium and some of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

my constituents in Soy live about 70 to 80 kilometres away and the exercise starts very early in the morning. By the time they get there, they will be tired and hungry yet they have to go through a vigorous exercise to qualify. So, as my colleagues have put it, it is important that when those concerned make such changes, they should bear in mind that we represent people and we know economic times are hard. Therefore, we need to cushion members of the public even as they seek this recruitment. Let us cushion them from the cost of transport ...

Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to ask the House to recognise last week as having been a very good one for Kenya. We had Eliud Kipchoge breaking the world record with a time of 1:59:40. As a House, whenever we lose people, we observe a minute of silence to honour them. I do not know the mechanism we are going to put in place to honour such heroes. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

What Eliud Kipchoge achieved over the weekend was a herculean task. He showed that no human is limited. We ask that as Eliud Kipchoge and other athletes who have brought glory to the country return to the country, the Government should give them tax exemptions. We have seen the Government give tax exemptions to people for very minor issues. We would like Eliud Kipchoge and any other Kenyan who holds a world record be given a tax exemption.

We have an institution called Brand Kenya that does not use our athletes and rugby players who have brought glory to this country. We have key football players who play in major teams in the world. We can use them to brand our country. Yesterday, as I was driving, I saw the UAP Towers in Upper Hill displaying their logo and the 1:59:40 logo. But when I flew from Eldoret and landed at our beautiful airport, there was no branding of what our athletes have achieved over the weekend. We need those institutions to wake up.
