• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Anti-Doping Bill (National Assembly Bill No.6 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. The background of this Bill has already been provided. From the outset, I wish to appreciate my colleague Senators from both sides of the political divide, for appreciating the urgency of this matter and putting the country first; by giving an indication that it is important that we finish with this Bill, so that our athletes are not jeopardized in terms of their participation in the Olympics. Kenya has had a comparative advantage ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not mean to interrupt my boss, the Senate Majority Leader, but considering that this House has many Senators, would I be in order to request you to inform the Members to be available at the end of this debate, hopefully at 6.00 p.m., to vote on the Second Reading this Bill? This will ensure that we go straight to the Committee of the Whole stage tomorrow. Could you request my colleagues to be available at an agreed time – maybe at 6.00 p.m. – for purposes of voting? The ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Senate Deputy Majority Leader has succeeded in what he wanted, which is to communicate the message that we need to be around. Maybe his county is the biggest producer of athletes and that explains why he could be more anxious than the rest of us. The National Assembly has already considered this Bill. It is a product of negotiations between Kenya and the World Anti-doping Agency and other international institutions that are involved in athletics. As the Mover of this Bill, I will not be averse to any suggestions on ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is 2(5). I have a very clear understanding of the Constitution. There is Articles 2(5) and 2(6). Article 2(5) deals with treaties and conventions. Article 2(6) deals with customary international law. If it is the other way round, I stand guided. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and I request my brother, Sen Wetangula, to second. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Some of the most celebrated athletes in this country come from Bungoma County. Is it in order for the Senator of Bungoma to deny his own athletes who come from Mount Elgon area and who have given this country great pride like the Chemos’ family and the other family which has four athletes? Is it in order for the Senate Minority Leader to deny his own people? view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is with great joy and a lot of satisfaction that I rise to support this Bill. For every medal that we win in the world championships or Olympics, at least 80 per cent of the athletes are from Elgeyo- Marakwet County. For many years, Elgeyo-Marakwet County has retained the record for the 3,000 steeple chase from the days of Mr. Moses Kiptanui to Mr. Ezekiel Kemboi who incidentally is my neighbour back home in Marakwet. Most of the marathon runners come from Elgeyo-Marakwet County or train there. These include Mr. Mo Farah, Ms. Paula Radcliffe ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am sure the Senator is a football fan. He knows that athletes are not warned when they are being investigated on doping. They are investigated at any time as long as they are active in sports. By not requiring their consent, it is in so far as the doping investigation is concerned. It is not in terms of management. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. Is Sen. Ndiema - a Member who was elected through the party of the presidential candidate in this House - in order to allege that there is no self regulation? The agency is part of the self regulation of the sports sector. view
