• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, our Constitution provides for labour rights, including for these athletes and sports people. Why can we not create a conducive environment and legal framework that will enable athletes to form their trade union and raise their issues, and those issues be taken seriously? Although we are members of international associations, like I have said earlier, nothing stops us, under our law, from customizing our law to fit the issues we are going to address. This is so that we can take care of sports – football and athletics – and all the other sectors that are very ... view

As I said, I will not discuss the conduct of my friend but I will invite him to a discussion. As leaders, we need to discuss about the unity of this country. Let us pursue the interest of this nation with respect to the unity of this country because if we do not do ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am so relevant. I have never been more relevant than this because we are discussion sports. The Motion is very clear that athletics and sports have brought us together. It is actually Sen. Orengo who said here that in most cases, it is we politicians who bring shame to the nation yet the athletes are doing so well to build a brand for this nation. When Billy Konchellah from Narok won 800 metres, he gave a lot of hope. That is the reason why David Rudisha broke the world record because of the precedent that ... view
