• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am totally surprised by my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. insisting that a ruling should be given on this matter. This is because on a similar situation a few months ago, him, Sen. Orengo and others shouted me down. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: You do not even know the situation I am raising. When I attempted to request your ruling which you promised me on 12th May, 2020, that you were going to give substantive ruling, which is five months down the line. You said you will rule in future and I am patiently waiting. What is good for the goose is good for the gander or for the duck as some Member of Parliament (MP) said. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we want to do is, respectfully, being a leader in this House, once the Speaker says he will give a substantive ruling, ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your indulgence. As a Senator who comes from Elgeyo-Marakwet County where Etien is one of the global training centres for all athletes, including international athletes like Mo Farah. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: This question is vey critical on two accounts; one, sports is a devolved function. There is a role that is played by county government in terms of providing enabling environment for our sports people. Second, the issue of doping has given us a bad name internationally.

That is availing yourself at a particular time for test or following particular protocols related with the rules. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it possible that the reason why most of these counties--- view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it possible that most of these athletes failed in doping not because they were tested and found to have used enhancing substance, however, because the antidoping agency is not funded enough to carry out awareness among most of them and provide infrastructure for them to avail themselves for testing, including the use of technology. If we do not address this issue, we are going to lose our reputation internationally as a country that has produced top athletes for many years since 1968. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg that this issue be taken seriously by the relevant Committee and have a meeting with the antidoping agency. If there is need to amend any law, we are ready as a Senate to fast track the process and protect our athletes. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in that regard, it means the Motion was not moved. Would I be in order then, to request the Mover to move it as amended? Since it had not been moved, we move it as amended. We do not have to go through all these amendments that are in the Order Paper. He can move it together with the amendments. I think that is in order within the Standing Orders. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I am a very happy man tonight. I am happy because we achieved what I told the Speaker of the view
