• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: It is sad that people like Jemimah Sumgong and many others have been banned up to 2027. My friend, Asbel Kiprop, is also in the same predicament. The other day I saw his tweet . There should be appellate mechanisms. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: I was talking to a friend of mine who was caught. He said that when samples were being analysed, they were not present. They were just told by the IAAF to appear, but there are no appellate mechanisms. Therefore, the independence of the agency is important. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Still on the issue of taking samples, I agree that there is need for confidentiality. How the international body dealing with this issue does is not appropriate. If you go to hospital to have your blood sample taken, the doctor does not announce to the world that, for example, you have malaria. There should be some confidentiality. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: The other day during the burial of the late Governor of Nyamira County, hon. Nyagarama, the Governor of Kisumu, hon. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, said that Kenyans are good at gossiping about the illnesses and diseases of other people. There should be confidentiality because image is everything to an athlete. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: It is important that agents, coaches and many other people involved in sports are also punished. The AK, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage--- view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: We have done well as a country. If there is anything that has brought this country glory and honour and being known across the world, it is sports. We have legends such as the late Samuel Wanjiru who was doing well in marathon before he passed on in unclear circumstances. We also have many others such as David Rudisha. By the way, I used to be a serious athlete before I joined politics. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: When you look at the life of athletes like Mr. David Rudisha--- view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was in the village, but I did not make it to the national stage. Looking at Mr. David Rudisha and many athletes, just like in football, the moment they have tendon rapture or get an injury, it is always a serious issue. They are so delicate as they run between 18 years and below 30 years. Therefore, we need to protect them. If the Ministry was proactive, it should have a special wing that is only meant to treat and assist them when they get injuries in their training camps in Kapsabet, Mt. Elgon, Eldoret, Bungoma ... view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the use of performance enhancing drugs is not good to our athletes. It is now a public health concern. I was told by some doctors that if you are a woman and you use performance-enhancing drugs, you can even become masculine or your gender can easily change. If you are a man, you become sterile and cannot sire anymore. You will be violating what the Bible says that ‘go ye into the world and fill the world.’ You will have rapture of tendons. Your performance generally in terms of health becomes an issue. I call upon our ... view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: we came back and ensure that we comply. It is an avenue that our young people continue to use to make their livelihoods and investments in our country. I thank you and I support. view
