• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It has interfered with my train of thought, but what I was trying to say is that, when the Committee sits to debate and deliberate on these matters, they need to be objective. This is because, what has been presented before this august House is the argument from the county assembly. I hope that the Governor shall be accorded due time and process, and to also learn from the experience. The Senator of Kiambu, Sen. Wamatangi, and I were sharing the opinion that, a committee is a better option because if we come to ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I stand guided, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I stand guided, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I, therefore, support that this Committee be established and that philosophically, we should be able to flush out things and look at what is the root cause of the problem. I support. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. I endorse the Motion as moved by Sen. Wetangula. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a very important Motion. I want to appreciate Sen. Cheruiyot for having thought through to come and honour these great Kenyans. As Nelson Mandela said, everyone can rise above the circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and are passionate about what they do. Eliud Kipchoge has really made us proud as a country. Now many Kenyans are saying despite all the problems they face, they are proud to be Kenyans. There is nobody who has put us in the world map in recent history from whatever extraction like Eliud ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I want to congratulate the public relations team around Eliud Kipchoge because they were able to inform us and to turn our attention to him. We were updated minute by minute on what was going to happen. We were all waiting. I remember even seeing on social media, people saying all our eyes are in Vienna, waiting to see what is going to happen. I think it was also because of that feeling that maybe he was not going to make it. It was more about our own self-doubt that this could not be achievable. That is the problem with ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I want to serenade and celebrate Eliud Kipchoge as an individual, but also as a team because we saw from his strategy of winning that he had pacesetters. These are 41 seasoned marathoners both men and women who formed a V-shape, so that he would not be affected and slowed down by the winds. They became very selfless about this win and made sure that it was Kipchoge’s moment. That gives us a very good lesson about leadership. There is a science around it; it is not just as Sen. Wetangula was saying “somebody just rushing and ending up at ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: In the same way, this team made sure that Eliud Kipchoge did not lose the tempo that he maintained it throughout. That means that if you have a team you have to ensure that they keep you on your toes. It is not just about leading. In fact, Nelson Mandela says- view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: What he meant was that leading is putting people in front and making them feel that they are in charge, but actually you are the one calling the shots. When you maintain the tempo, the team helps you to move forward. That is a very important issue that comes out very well. They never moved out of the ‘V-shaped formation around him at any given point. They never got distracted and that talks about unity of purpose. Eliud Kipchoge provides us with a good opportunity to have very good lessons that can be applied for the benefit of the development ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: paraphernalia to sell to tourists over and above the Maasai man, giraffes and other animal carvings? Can we market our athletics? Other city in the USA such as Los Angeles has built its economy around entertainment. Other jurisdiction such as Texas market and sell country music in the USA. I am sure that when some of us travel out of the country, people think that we can all run even for those of us with big potbellies. Have we taken advantage to ensure that we sell ourselves as a country of athletes yet we have been consistent? Mr. Temporary Speaker, ... view
