• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I was making a point of order, Sen. Orengo said that I was making the point on behalf of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. When I sat, I thought that maybe I was wrong. However, when Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. came here, he confirmed my worst fears. His argument is that the people who went there should not have gone because of the community they come from. I thought his argument would have been, the rest of us who do not come from that region--- If his argument was positive--- view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, please, allow me to complete. I would have appreciated if his point was to say that the rest of us who do not come from that region with the athletes should also have made an effort to be there to demonstrate that all of us support our athletes no matter where they come from. However, when he makes the point to say: why did people from that region go there, I think that is an--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You made a good ruling that we must respect all athletes and footballers. I am not in athletics. My type is Victor Wanyama, Olunga and Mariga. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I am a Gor Mahia supporter. In fact, just to buttress that point, every time I go for Gor Mahia matches or say I am a Gor Mahia fan, few tribal elements say that I am not supposed to support Gor Mahia because of their degenerated minds. I urge Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. not to reduce such an important debate. This is because people who congratulated Kenyans in Doha, Brigid Kosgei and Eliud Kipchoge on Twitter and Facebook are from all over Kenya. In fact, videos were posted where children were crying. Family members were laughing and crying because of ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Secondly, there is nothing wrong with being called Eliud Kipchoge. In fact, it should be Kipchoge Kipchumba. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank all the colleagues for a job well done in terms of their contributions. I congratulate Sen. Cheruiyot who came up with this Motion and for giving me the opportunity to second it. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I want Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to listen. Ms. Brigid Kosgey, the Marathon World Record holder is one of the many world record holders that come from my county. For Sen. Poghisio, it is at the border between Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot. We are very proud to represent these very gallant Kenyans who have done us very proud. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: We congratulate Eliud Kipchoge. As Sen. Halake has said, he has been nominated for the Male Athlete of the Year Award together with Timothy Cheruiyot. We can make our contribution by tweeting and re-tweeting because that is part of the voting. Faith Chepkoech, Hellen Obiri and Beatrice Chemngetich who ran the Marathon in Doha have also been nominated for Female Athlete of the Year Award.

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: All these great ladies and ladies have been nominated and are bound to be recognized by the world any time soon. I believe that at least the male and female Athlete of the Year Award this time round will come from Kenya. If you remember, Faith Chepkoech ran and led in the 3,000 meters steeplechase from beginning to the end, leaving the rest with a big gap. You will also remember that in July, she broke the world record in the 3,000 meters steeplechase race. Therefore, we have so many world record holders in this country, including David Rudisha and ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Lastly, I made a request yesterday, which I hope will be honoured in the fullness of time. I strongly believe that if there is a leader who is not holding elective office and I would be more than happy to be given the honour to addresses this House, it is Eliud Kipchoge. That is for his inspiration in terms of what he did – running a marathon in under two hours – and more importantly because he has managed to lead a clean life, as an athlete and inspire others. He was an inspiration when he went to talk to ... view
