Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. From the outset, I welcome the people of Ngerek and Chepkumia Ward in Emgwen Sub-County, Nandi County. During my campaigns I was able to visit one of the primary schools that is near there and know that there are issues affecting the Ngerek in Chepkumia Ward. I support this Petition and want to assure them that we will do anything within our powers to ensure that this issue of land is resolved, especially in Nandi County.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for your indulgence. I support this Petition because the Petitioners had approached me and I advised them to bring it to the Senate. I agree that there is a problem because this also affects part of my County. We share a common border. This project will cost Kshs5.1 billion and more than Kshs4 billion should be paid in compensation. I agree with most of my Senate colleagues.The law is very clear and it states that when you are doing compulsory acquisition of land, the payments should be prompt. I request that the project be suspended ...

From the onset, I thank the Senate Majority Leader, my good friend and teacher, lecturer of law, Sen. Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen for bringing this Motion. First, I congratulate my village mate and neighbour, Eliud Kipchoge who has gone into the annals of history for breaking the world record at the Berlin Marathon. I hope that colleague Senators are aware that there are five prime and best marathons across the world. The Berlin Marathon is one of them.

Secondly, I congratulate compatriots Kipruto and Wilson Kipsang; both come from Nandi County. It is the source of champions. Uasin Gishu is the city of champions while Elgeyo-Marakwet is the home of champions. Apparently, the one, two, three come from those regions. Equally, I congratulate Gladys Cherono for leading the women. This should be the inspiration to many other women to seize that opportunity and participate.

Thirdly, we celebrate all legends. I hope the Government is taking note such that when we are giving national honours, it is given to them and not to particular individuals who have done nothing for this country. A person like Eliud Kipchoge and other legends should be honoured. This is an important thing for us in Nandi County. We are very proud of Eliud. He is a humble and hardworking gentleman. He is an inspiration to many young people in Nandi County. The Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, will on Friday, have an opportunity to visit the home of ...
