• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: By the way, I like the company you had yesterday. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Sen. Kang’ata can live with that because I know his views. He is a very conservative young man and I think that is good. It is difficult to find people of his age who are conservative and I appreciate that. He knows that the family is the foundation of our social structure under the Constitution. Generally what I want to say concerning the issues that Sen. Kang’ata raised is as follows. If you read the Penal Code, there is no room for the kind of things that worry Sen. Kang’ata. I agree with him but if there is any decision ... view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude by saying the following and this may be a repetition. Sen. Kang’ata should have brought those decisions here for us interrogate instead of talking about them without a basis. I thank you. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Normally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, nobody is required to comment after the Leader of the Majority has gone through the timetable for next week. However, I seek your indulgence, particularly because of what he has said, which were very positive remarks as to why we have sat here. If you could give me just a few minutes to say something about it in support of what he has said--- view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are those who have been talking about our sittings here in Eldoret in very negative terms. We have a Constitutional direction under Article 6(3) which reads as follows- “A national state organ shall ensure reasonable access to its services in all parts of the Republic, so far as it is appropriate to do so having regard to do so nature of the service.” This provision is not talking about “organs at the county level;” it says “a national state organ.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you look at the kind of services we have offered ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. I beg to second this very important Motion. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, earlier on, I accompanied the Senate Majority Leader to Elgeyo-Marakwet. We had a conversation with the Governor in his office, who told me that one of the greatest sources of investment in that county is athletes. They are thinking of ways and means of encouraging them to invest more in the county. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Having said that, I am generally a great follower of sports, from tennis to athletics, football, Formula One; name them all. Sometimes I do not leave the house when there is a major event, including American Football and any other sport, such as cricket and rugby. I enjoy watching sports a lot. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just the other day, a lady by the name Naomi Osaka from Japan beat Serena Williams in the US Open Tennis Tournament in New York; and one could see the joy in Japan. In fact, it was as if there was a national holiday there, because the Prime Minister sent congratulations and they even prepared to meet her when she went back to Japan. I am saying this because during the Berlin Marathon, where Eliud Kipchoge did a fantastic job, somebody asked me before it came to an end: “Have you counted the number of times Kenya ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the age of Kipchoge Keino and Jipcho, there were people like Arere Anentia, Seraphino Antao and Nyandika Maiyoro who put Kenya on the world map when we were still a colony. That became consistent up to the age of Kipchoge Keino, Jipcho, and now, we have countless athletes who, every other day, month or year, bring honour and prestige to this country. In some countries iconic kinds of celebration are given to athletes, including monuments erected in their honour, in their home towns and cities. However, here in Kenya, we probably only hear of Kipchoge Keino ... view
