It is unfortunate that my county is a source of champions. However, Governor Sang has changed it to be a source of corruption because of lack of sporting facilities. He even converted a whole facility into a marketplace, yet Nandi County is synonymous to sports.

We also have the doping menace affecting our young people. I want to make an appeal because Kenya might end up on the radar of doping. I appeal to our sportsmen and women and the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) to be on the lookout and ensure that we arrest the doping menace in our country. Even as we establish sports academies, we must vet trainers and coaches.

You have to agree that the Catholic Church has a unique way of doing formation of their priests, sisters and brothers. He was talking about the vetting of the trainers. They must be people who are beyond reproach because they are the ones who are teach the doctrine of the church.

If you want to know what Raila thinks, listen to Sen. Oburu. If you want to read the body language of Raila Odinga, listen to John Mbadi. It is very critical. I am making a very pregnant point. Can you add me one minute so that I can conclude by seconding? So if you can see the body language of Oburu, Mbadi, Junet Mohammed, you know that is Raila speaking. I am warning Sen. Sifuna to tread carefully. His future in ODM looks bleak. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to second.

He was an amiable man. We used to take tea at the Bunge Restaurant and he was very jovial at all times. I never knew he would be felled by an assassin’s bullet. I thank the police and the DCI for the speedy arrest and arraignment in court of the suspect who might have killed Hon. Were.

If MPs are not safe, then Kenyans are not. Even as investigations continue into the death of the late Were, I ask leaders to be cautious while making statements. I was embarrassed by the statement of the Governor of Homa Bay, hon. Gladys Wanga trying to link the unfortunate incident to the Broad-based Government. If there are problems of local politics in Homa Bay, she should just restraint them there. Reducing herself to a village politician is very unfortunate.

She must withdraw and retract that statement. Homa Bay County and the nation need peace. I know we are emotional, but that should not justify making reckless and embarrassing statements.
