• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: The Hon. Member called you “Mr. Speaker”. Is she in order to refer to you as “Mr. Speaker”, in a time like this when we are celebrating our women? The whole country is proud to see a woman on the Speaker’s seat. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the beauty of being a Commissioner is that I know the list of the people who have travelled. I can tell when Sen. Cheruiyot was out of the country last, how many times he has travelled and where Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was last week. I know these things, but I do not want to say it. I would like to inform Sen. Cheruiyot that the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Madzayo, is not out there carrying sufurias, he is out there mourning with many Kenyans who have lost their lives due to the brutality; not from you, but ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: the life of an innocent person. That is something that we should all speak to with one voice. That is what I wanted to inform the Senate Majority Leader. I hope you will speak about Moraa. You know, when you talk of celebrated athletes, last time His Excellency the President was honouring athletes, I saw that Moraa was missing and she is now actually the world champion in the 800 metres. I hope you convey a message to our President, William Ruto, next time he is honouring these athletes, we want to see Moraa in attendance in State House, please. ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Cherarkey for coming up with a Statement that recognises these Kenyans that make us proud. Any time I travel out of the country and people ask where I come from, I always say “do you know that country that Faith Kipyegon comes from, that is my country.” This lady has made us proud. This lady has made us proud. I tell people in foreign countries that I am from Kenya. I want those foreigners to forgive me because when they ask me if I know Faith, I always say that she is my neighbour ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: President Museveni motivates those athletes. He sets aside a house or a vehicle. The only opponents he knows are Kenyans. He tells them if they defeat Kenyans in a marathon, that house or vehicle will be theirs. We should also do something. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we can get a house somewhere and set it aside and say that any Kenyan who will win the 3,000 metres steeplechase will get that house, with a title and everything. There is no sport that makes us proud like athletics. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Sen. Cherarkey, when he speaks should remember my people – the Abagusii nation. We were the champions in the 4 by 4. It was a quartet of Robert Ouko, Naftaly Teemu, Nyandiko Mairo, you know them. You run for 400 metres handing the baton to the next and you win. That is what we want this country to go back to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have another proud lady from Omugusii, she is Moraa. She is our champion and is unbeatable in 800 metres. In that race, you go twice in the field. Those are the Kenyans who make us ... view

• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a colleague, I never want to challenge the ruling of the Speaker. However, there is a tradition that has been set in this House that anytime we have impeachment proceedings, we try as much as possible to leave the host Senator or the Senator whose Governor or Deputy Governor is being impeached, to speak last. view
