• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare in the issue of the Dandora Stadium. Since Sen. Sakaja wants to become the Governor of Nairobi City County. I hope that he will follow through with it because our term is coming to an end in the next few months. Madam Deputy Speaker, where you and I come from, apart from agriculture, sports is one of our core businesses. The investments you see in many of our towns like Kapsabet, Nandi Hills, Mosoriot, Eldoret, Ziwa, Kitale, Nakuru and even here ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Uasin Gishu and Nandi counties, for example, do not have Tartan; the standard track that is needed so that they can train to qualify for international sports events. Madam Deputy Speaker, we remember the life of slain athlete Agnes Tirop. It is very sad that the family and the rest of us are yet to receive justice many months after she was allegedly murdered away from her training camp. As a country, we must be ashamed that we have failed to protect our athletes and sportsmen and women, and not only by ensuring that we have standard stadia. The Government ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: agriculture and sports. If our county governments cannot factor in funds in their budgets and ensure that the issue of sports is addressed, it is very unfortunate. A county like Nandi where if you go there - I know you are our neighbour and you even drive everywhere in the North Rift - whenever you drive, you see runners. Whenever you drive past a Centre, you see volleyball. When I organised a tournament early last month at Mosoriot, what we called First Heroes Volleyball Tournament that we were recognising volleyball heroes, you could see the potential of many young people. ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: As I conclude, we did not question the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage for the sake of questioning the Cabinet Secretary (CS) Hon. (Amb.) Amina Mohammed, but we wanted that fund to be used to assist the young people across the nation. You remember, when the Tokyo 2020 Olympics happened, the reception and organisation were so shambolic. Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to thank this Senate because this Committee led by Sen. Sakaja is working on the Statement and the Motion that we gave them, to find the truth. If you can put somebody like Eliud Kipchoge on an ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Committee on Labor and Social Welfare led by Sen Sakaja. One of the biggest threats to the functionality of devolved units is how to handle the staff. I remember the County Government of Nandi yesterday met the Nandi workforce and, therefore, the argument is as has been used to contract. I know the Committee on Labor and Social Welfare should advise the Senate and county governments on how they can manage the issue of workforce. As we talk, most of the workforce across the counties including mine is beyond the 35 ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Kwamboka for bringing the two Statements. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: On the first Statement on the killing of one of your residents from Laikipia County, this is very unfortunate. There has been push and pull since she was killed many years ago. I hope that the national Government through the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Embassy of the United Kingdom continue to do something. It looks like the life of our sister, which was brutally taken away, is much less important than the training camp that we have for the British soldiers in Laikipia. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: This is abuse of human rights. It is also gender based violence that we are fighting. Our sister was killed under unknown circumstances. The British Government and the DCI must tell the country what they have done. It is unfortunate that the DCI officers have never gone to Britain to arrest the purported suspect who committed the crime many years ago. The family of the victim and the rest of Kenyans are keenly watching to see what the British Government and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kenya will do. The Kenya Government should know that each and every ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think in the tradition of the House, there have been many reports tabled. Sometimes courtesy of your office, you have even given us an adjournment of even one hour or thirty minutes to read a report. According to Article 124 of the Constitution on the functionality of Committees and Standing Order No.71 on committing to the Committees, the Report is supposed to be tabled. I appreciate what Sen. Olekina is talking about on whether the Committee does 99 per cent, but when that report comes back, we are not robots. I have not seen the ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to contribute on the National Health Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2021. All of us agree that medical expenses are expensive to most of our people in this country. Most of us in both the National Assembly and the Senate are always participating in harambees to defray medical bills. If there is any strategy to ensure that we do away with medical expenses and ensure that Kenyans are able to pay medical bills, then it is important. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are only two points that I want to mention. One ... view
