If my memory serves me right, there is a section of the County Governments Act that prevents or does not allow MCAs to participate in the implementation of the governor’s projects because that may bring a lot of conflict in terms of their oversight role.

So, I encourage MCAs that are here today that the complaints that the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet has can be properly addressed if they work closely and in consultation because he can assist them sort out the issues.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senators who are complaining must appreciate that there are very few Senators here who are senior than me in terms of service to this nation as a Member of Parliament. For that reason, it is important for Sen. Malalah to respect age.

Allow me to join the Mover of this Motion, the Senate Majority Leader, the Deputy Minority Leader and Senior, Sen. Wetangula, in appreciating the good performance by this great Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge, for breaking the world record. It is not easy that such a great Kenyan, who comes from this county of champions, would excel and put Kenya in the world map, to the extent that Sen. Wetangula was cheered and appreciated for the win, as he was having breakfast with the former President, John Kufuor. How I long for a time when our own country will appreciate---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I long for a time when our national leaders and everybody else will demonstrate the appreciation that they attach to these great Kenyans when they do us proud.

Will he do it come this December when he will be giving honours to people? It may look as if that is something small, but it is not. It is a great thing.

that can be availed by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts and other departments to these sportsmen and women once they get to retirement age. As we think about this, we should know that a sportsman is a serious candidate for arthritis. This is because they wear out their muscles and bones as they train, yet this happens as they strive to make Kenya appear great in the international arena. Other than pension, we must also think of how we can provide them with a medical scheme because they will require constant attention and medication as they age.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy to contribute to this Motion in this great County of Uasin Gishu. The time has come for us to seriously think of how we can bring policies or decisions that can assist people who do not have the opportunity to argue their case, especially when it comes to agencies that are required to make them comfortable or help them have a retirement that befits their status in the society. When we do so, we will be recognising what they did when they were young.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, allow me to ride on Sen. Farhiya‟s Statement to seek further clarification. The Chairperson‟s statement should also include information relating to the vacant houses that will be left after the police move to rent houses in other areas within the country. There are permanent houses that have been built for the police in the past. What will happen to them? Will they be leased out to other people to attract rental income? What will the vacant houses be used for?
