• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: When we went to meet farmers, some farmer out there told me: “ Hapa Kenya wanaumewanaiba mpaka jikoni.” Therefore, we are a disgraced race, but that is not so that we should not try to do our best for the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Coca-Cola Company wanted to refurbish Nyayo National Stadium and build it anew, just before the World Cup passed through this country on its way to South Africa. In fact, they wanted it to be called “Coca-Cola Stadium.” They wanted to put in a lot of money and maintain it for a period of 20 years, ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: officials in sports organizations. That is why sometimes they stay there almost for many years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, football is professional because it is left to the people who know how best to run it. In athletics, you will find people like Coe, who was a great athlete in the United Kingdom (UK), heading sports and is now at the highest level of leadership in sports in the world. The Government needs to play a minimal role, and when it comes to athletics or sports organizations, we need to get the best people to lead them, so that we, together ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join the Senator for Uasin Gishu in expressing gratitude to the people of this County for the manner in which we have been received. One of the things that I learned last night about leadership and which I think other counties should learn about Uasin Gishu County, not only at the level of Members of County Assembly (MCAs), but also of the Executive, which was exemplified by the Governor yesterday when he was introducing his Members of Cabinet and Chief Officers, he knew all of them by name and portfolio. Then ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Not only are they champions in the field, but as I said yesterday, generally in the leadership of this country. I have interacted with the best and the greatest of minds of people, men and women, from this county. Lastly, by sitting here, we are demonstrating to everybody, not just in this county, but across the nation that the Senate is here to stay. The Senate is here to stay because it has a role to play. It has a role to play because devolution is one of the most innovative and the fundamental pillars in this Constitution that was ... view

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: I have never seen in other chambers and in other parliaments before, where it is possible to develop a bi-partisan spirit in order to talk about a Bill or a Motion, or even deciding to come to this county. There was no much debate about it in the Senate, in Nairobi. It was important that we make that point. To emphasize that, when we come to this county, we are coming to the bread basket of this nation. I pray that one day the sins of the national Government will not be visited to the county governments. In Nigeria now, ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: It is not a dream, but something we can achieve. Even if Kenya is coming down, that does not mean that this county should also go down, but it can still go up. We want the County and the nation to go up together and make Kenya a great and prosperous nation for the people of Kenya. The people of Kenya are like we are seated here, nobody can look at the Senate Majority Leader and know where he comes from, or probably, some people make mistakes about certain people if they do not have the sixth teeth that I ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill--- view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Bill. It is important to have a framework for the contracting, exploration, development and production of petroleum. Speaking after the Senate Majority Leader and the Chairperson, this House should pay close attention to this Bill because it is a very important Bill. If we are not very careful, we will end up committing the greatest sin against this nation. I would like to inform the Seconder that if we go his direction, then one can commit a crime and plead the handshake. However, we will not plead the handshake ... view
