• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this chance, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As Members of Parliament, we are vested with the authority of making laws in this country. Nobody can run away with that responsibility. Secondly, I also agree that the reason we came up with this document is because of a negotiated agreement after so many bad things happened in this country. However, there is something that people must understand. As much as some people had so many problems with the IEBC, others did not. We have agreed that they should go. They must also understand that there are Members of ... view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Kenyan team for winning the medals and the great job they did in Rio de Janeiro. They had the best performance ever in the history of this country. Before Kenya went to participate in the Olympics, we faced a lot of challenges, especially by the international communities who wanted to disqualify us based on doping theories. It was because they knew Kenya would be the best. I want to thank the country and the athletes who put Kenya as No. 2 in the athletics ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Kenya is an amazing State in matters of athletics. I want to congratulate members from my county like the great athletes like Rudisha and his colleagues who made our county proud for bringing us gold medals and others for making it to the finals. I also thank most of the athletes because it was the first time for one athlete to win two medals. Ms. Vivian Cheruiyot won gold and silver medals. It was also the first time that we had the first woman marathoner to win gold. It was won by Ms. Sumgong. Some records were broken for the ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: There was also another issue of a lady called Jebet, who won gold and was supposedly meant to be Kenyan. But she was running for Bahrain. Many Kenyans also decided to condemn her and said she was not patriotic. There are times when athletes ran for other countries, because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: of the challenges they face in this country, which cannot accommodate their livelihood. You can imagine they wake up around 3.00 a.m. in the morning and sweat hard with mucous on their faces as they run; only to be paid about Kshs1 million which cannot even cater for the problems they face. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This country needs to look deeply on how to motivate our athletes to avoid temptation. Yego was tempted by another country, which wanted to pay him Kshs1 billion. He had a great heart and said he was patriotic and did not go. There are others who come from very poor backgrounds and get tempted, by being paid Kshs52 million for a single medal. This is very tempting when one imagines they will come back to this country and die poor even if you were a great athlete. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This country needs to invest in athletics because we get a lot of medals. Before I finish, I must also talk about the failures by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts. I want to take this opportunity to tell the CS for Sports, Culture and the Arts that he must prepare a proper report to give to this House. We do not agree with the situation that happened in Rio. We cannot allow our country to go down and our athletes to suffer while they are winning medals for us. Those are people we do not pay. They ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Mule for donating two minutes to me to contribute to this Bill. This Bill is very important because for a long time, the biomedical engineers have never been regulated just like engineers, lawyers and other practitioners. We need to regulate this sector because we do not want terrorists to tamper with machines like baby incubators, X-ray machines and theatres. These are very important machines, which if anybody was to tamper with them, they would cause a lot of harm to the people who are supposed to be properly treated. This specifically ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sorry for the confusion that was created by my absence. I was doing some consultations somewhere within the precincts of Parliament. I also thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The Motion deals with serious matters of accounting. I congratulate the Chair of the Committee for the serious work that he and his Committee Members are doing. One of the most tasking positions in the committees is that of the Chairs of the PAC and PIC, especially when it comes to matters that are supposed to be tabled in ... view
