We are talking about the ranking of Kenya in the global events. As I contribute to the Motion, I wish to join the rest of Kenyans in saluting and congratulating Eliud Kipchoge for being the first human to run a marathon in under two hours. Of course, there have been other notable world record breakers like Brigid Kosgei. We congratulate all of them.

15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly:
Eliud Kipchoge is a disadvantaged boy who dropped out of school and engaged in butchery business without discovering his talents and skills as an athlete. He also did milk business. I got this data from the teachers who handled him. He was eventually able to discover a talent in himself and he has come up with a philosophy. In fact, what catches us is the personal philosophy of this athlete: the philosophy that no human is limited. It is a philosophy that is applicable to every human being in whatever sphere. This is a man who captured the world and ...

15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly:
It is not enough to speak momentarily about these men and women and forget them after a while. As a nation, there must be a framework of recognising some of these heroes and moving a step forward to support their philosophies. When you say that no human is limited, that is an applicable philosophy everywhere and he has done it. It is not enough to talk about giving token money. This is a philosophy that we can push and support all through. One of the heroes who could even address this Parliament is a man like Kipchoge because he has ...

8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Is it in order for a Member to discuss a person, including going to the extent of naming that person - without a substantive Motion on the Floor of the House? As I look at Standing Order No.107, there are very clear indications of the kind of engagement that is becoming of our honourable House, including issues that we are concerned about. My real concern is whether it is in order for a Member to name and come up with allegations against a person without a substantive Motion on the Floor of the ...
