• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will also be brief because of time so that I also allow others to make their comments. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: First, I congratulate Sen. Cheruiyot for coming up with this Motion. Last weekend, two Kenyans broke barriers. We have Eliud Kipchoge who is the first man ever to run a marathon under two minutes. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Orengo. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Eliud Kipchoge said that human being must not limit themselves. In fact, Eliud Kipchoge says: “Show me the limits and I will go there.” It should be us to define the limits and Kenyans are defining the limits. This is a feat that was quickly followed by Brigid Kosgei who is my neighbour back home and whom I represent in this House, being one of the voters in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. She broke a 16-year old record of Paula Radcliffe in the women’s marathon in Chicago. Chicago and Boston are among the hardest courses to run a marathon. She broke that ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: We say this because this is a home of world record holders. David Rudisha in 2012 made this country extremely proud by breaking the 800 metres record which he still holds up to now. We have many Kenyans who have world records that are rarely recognised. Moses Kiptanui held a world record for a long time until later when it was broken by Stephen Cherono. We have so many athletes in this country. We have athletes like Lawrence Cherono who won the Chicago Marathon. In Doha, those who won gold medals were Beatrice Chepkoech in 3,000 metres steeplechase; Conseslus Kipruto ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know your office but I think the House should consider--- Since we came to this House, the only person who has addressed this House other than the Joint Address of the House by the President, is the former Chief Justice, Dr. Willy Mutunga. Is it too much for me to request this House, that Eliud Kipchoge, having achieved that rear feat, should be given the honour by this House and that the Senate Business Committee (SBC) should sit and decide that as soon as possible with the approval of this House, he be ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I want to note that Eliud Kipchoge has managed himself well and has been running for a long time. He started with 1,500 metres, 5,000 metres, 10,000 metres and ran over eight marathons and won all of them except one where he got silver. This is a man of great inspiration. In fact, he has built himself to the extent that he is now one of the most quoted athletes in the world because of the philosophical words that he speaks. We even saw that in Vienna. It will be great to give him an opportunity to address this House. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Lastly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must ensure that we continue improving sports facilities in the country. I know there is an accusation that the Government has not constructed the stadia it promised and so on and so forth but there are some counties that have done a good job. Kakamega County, for example--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, some counties are trying their best in improving sports facilities. Kakamega County, for example, has done a good job at Bukhungu Stadium. We must give them the credit. I have played football there and it is a very good stadium. Narok County too has tried in improving Narok Stadium. Mombasa County has also tried with their sports facilities. In Kiambu County, there is Ruiru Stadium which was improved by the former Governor. Machakos County too has one of the best football stadium. In terms of athletics, I agree with Sen. Cheruiyot that in some ... view
