In the recent past, Kenyan athletes have had credibility. We do not want a situation where when we win gold and no one believes. For example, we were risking an international ban where over 25 athletes were hit with sanctions and 19 active cases are pending as at 2022 alone. I thank President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza Government for intervening. Otherwise, we were at risk of a ban like Russia and other countries. It would have dented our credibility as one of the giants of athletics. We are colossus and we globetrot with the pride of being the ...

However, ADAK and WADA have been accused of spying on these athletes. Some athletes confessed that they refused to give bribes. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), ADAK and WADA officials then colluded against the athletes even without listening to their pleas. This affected the principals of natural justice. That interview was on either Kenya Television Network (KTN) or another station.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy to see Sen. Oketch Gicheru after an eventful Saturday hosting the Azimio One Kenya Alliance leader. He has come back to serve the people of Migori County. He got carried away but it is good to have him back. He says that Monday, 20th March, 2023 is a holiday; which is illegal. I am just welcoming my brother back.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was welcoming my younger brother, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, back to the House. He is still learning the ropes. I am happy he has not joined the bandwagon. Azimio One Kenya Alliance, except my sister, are strategically boycotting the House. I can assure them they will keep boycotting until Jesus comes but the business must continue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the most commonly abused drugs are two. One is---

There are allegations that Monday has been declared a public holiday. It is unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional. We know the procedure for declaring a public holiday. Every Kenyan who will not report to work will face serious repercussions. Let those who want to boycott do so and they should also boycott their salary for that day. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the most commonly abused drugs are Norandrosterone and Triamcinolone acetonide. They are mostly used for weight loss, muscle building and endurance. So, when you see somebody walking around like a cabbage, you know that they have used these drugs. There ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Petition brought by Sen. Cheruiyot, the Senator for Kericho County and the Senate Majority Leader, is serious. Land historical injustice has continued to be the soft under belly in terms of achieving universal rights in the Republic of Kenya. That is why the drafters and intenders of the Constitution, 2010 established the National Land Commission (NLC) under Article 67. One of the core mandates of NLC is to initiate a look into land historical injustices. It is very sad that most land in Kericho County was awarded to champions of war at the expense of the ...

from, as well as tea estates in Bomet, Kericho, Kisii and Nyamira counties which were forcefully taken from the owners. I continue to say that tea taken across Europe continues to be stained by the blood of our forefathers. They fought against forceful evictions from their land and this is a human rights issue. In the last Session, the Senate adopted the report on land historical injustices against the Talai Community in Nandi and Kericho counties. I propose that as the Committee looks at this, the Attorney General should provide mutual legal assistance to the Kipsigis. They need help to ...
