• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my colleagues. The sports industry is lucrative and should be looked after. This Motion has been on the Order Paper for a while. I thank the Office of the Speaker, the Secretariat and the Senate Business Committee (SBC) for scheduling it. I have seen a number of colleagues complaining that their Motions and Bills are not scheduled. They do not have the patience some of us have. You can see some of us have waited until the CSs have answered questions and then we have moved our Motion. My advice to my colleagues is that, ... view

A few years ago, when Eliud Kipchoge took part in the Eneos Challenge, I am told six billion people were watching across the world. At that time, I was on an official trip of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. We had visited Brumadinho on the issue of disaster preparedness in Brazil at that time.

• 3 May 2023 in Senate: The sad thing is that when the Kipchoges, Omanyalas, Olungas and the Oliechs of this world land out there, they are given VIP treatment.
