• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the onset, I welcome the school from your county of Uasin Gishu. I also welcome PAG Jerusalem Academy from my neigbourhood. It is not far from my home and the primary school that I attended, St. Francis Chepterit Primary School. They will have the opportunity to see their Senator make a few comments on the Floor of the House. I wish them well and pray to God that we be their inspiration. The Senate is an instrument that has been created by the people for the people. Therefore, we ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: I congratulate Hon. Mawathe and Hon. David Ochieng for winning Embakasi South and Ugenya constituency seats, respectively. That shows that the electorate is becoming wiser by day. You cannot sell manifesto or agenda that does not resonate with them. They are now alleging that it is because of “handshake” that they will not be fielding a candidate in Wajir West. However, I am sure they have sensed defeat in the by- election for Wajir West parliamentary seat because Hon. Kolosh is our strong candidate. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party has now withdrawn their candidate from Wajir West by-election because ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Nandi is the source of champions. Elgeyo-Marakwet County is the home of champions and Eldoret is the city of champions. We are proud to be the source of champions. We had dinner with the athletes courtesy of the Deputy President after the State of the Nation Address. We are proud of our young people because they did well in Denmark. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that you like watching athletics. When Chebet was denied a gold medal, all of us were mad. However, when the error was rectified, we were happy. In fact, there is no need of paying a lot of money to brand Kenya. Let us use our athletes to brand Kenya. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: If you go to any country in this world and talk about the marathon, it is synonymous with Kenya. I wish we used our sportsmen and women to brand Kenya. The rugby team is equally doing well. The football team is wobbling, but it is also improving in terms of the quality. So, we should recognise and value our sportsmen and women in this country. Amb. Amina Mohamed, should ensure novelty, so that we use our sportspersons as ambassadors of this country. As the Jubilee Government fulfills its promise on construction of stadia, counties should also partner with us to ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: A person like Mo Farah go to train in Iten because of high altitude. If we had training grounds like Lorna Kiplagat Training Camp in Iten, we would not be having serious competition from other countries. The other day, the Ethiopians and people from other countries gave a good show in the just concluded athletics competitions held in Denmark. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenya is very unique. We have Mr. Peter Tabichi who was awarded for being the best teacher. I congratulate and wish him well. I am told he is a brother and that means that he is a ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: As I speak now, farmers are still delivering maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), but they are not being paid. People are dying in Turkana, Samburu and Tiaty Constituency in Baringo County yet there is surplus food in the North Rift. The People who are coming up with funny proposals in the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation should be taken to other Departments. Maybe they do not understand what agriculture entails, but I hope the President will remain focused on food security which is one of the Big Four agenda. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Finally, I would like to talk about the BBI. Yesterday, Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights were at the coast. The message is very clear that the BBI should not be about political interests only. It should be about the cohesion, unity, purpose and transformation of the country. I agree with the Senate Minority Leader that if we want to move forward in the fight against corruption, we need to see result. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: As Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we will look into ways to assist agencies that are tasked with the responsibility of fighting corruption in this country, so that we do run into problems of being accused of being politically motivated and ethnic profiling among many other issues. Let us build bridges where it matters for the honour of Wanjikus, Kipronos and many others at the grassroots levels. We should not just build bridges and do handshakes for the sake of it. Let them be real handshakes, like it happened between Uhuru Kenyatta and William ... view
