Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me to thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for being a keen listener. I also thank her for the correction. I am talking about extra-curricular activities, which are outside the co-curricular. Chess should fall in the bracket of darts, swimming, football and any other extra- curricular activity. It should not be a co-curricular activity in the curriculum because it can be a burden to parents and may be unachievable. That is what I am talking about. We have financial constraints and I do not see it going far. In as much as it is the right of Kenyans ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this Statement on fertilizer. It is very clear that Kenya is among the signatories of the international treaties that support farmers, agriculture and all that. It is absurd that fertilizer prices can go high perpetually. If fertilizer prices are high, it does not matter how hardworking farmers are. If they have not used fertilizer on their produce, then they will not get good yields. There is need to encourage farmers because of the important role they play, especially when it comes to ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this report that has been brought on the Floor of this House by Sen. Sakaja.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I am happy that I have caught your attention. When we were new in this Parliament, we were taken through orientation which was very good because it set the pace on how we need to behave in the House.

I am concerned that I have seen on two occasions the youngest Senator in the House, Sen. Ngugi, crisscrossing from this side of the House to the other side of the House without observing the rules.

Madam Deputy Speaker, probably it needs to come from you that this rule needs to be observed that when you are entering into the Senate, there is a rule whereby you are required to bow and when you are crossing over, there is something you do and so on and so forth.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this statement. I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for coming up with the statement. I speak on behalf of the youths in Lugari Constituency. This decision of disbanding FKF is not well thought. I want to give an example of what I went through when I was holding the Musuruve Tournament which identifies and nurtures talent amongst youth. It is going on very smoothly because of FKF which has its rules. This ensures that youth adhere to the rules. Any youths that became hooligans are not allowed to ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I support this Statement by Sen. Cheruiyot. Stadiums are very important because of ensuring that we identify the talents of the youths, nurture them and ensure that they eke a living. It is unthinkable that even at the constituency level, when the youth want to play, they have to look for a school field. There is need for county governments to ensure that there are stadiums in each and every county. The stadiums need to be all-inclusive because in some, climbing a step off the ground is a harrowing experience for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). There are ...
