• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, looking at the Clause 4 (2) on the purpose of the County Hall of Fame, it says:- “To honour the achievements of persons who have made significant contribution to the county or the country.” How do you determine this? You can only determine it by measuring all those people who have been part of that field. We do not want a situation where for you to be considered as an Elder of the Golden Heart (EGH) or maybe a Moran of the Golden Heart (MGH), you go and stand somewhere eating githeri. Before you realise it, your ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is just like our men and women in uniform who sacrifice, and by the time they leave, we forget about them. The Athletics Kenya currently no longer has an interest in those people who came and did well. It is the same for any other sport around the world. However, the moment we establish that hall of fame, they can now actually get to utilise the people who would be considered as hall of famers, because they can then nurture this talent. They can go to Kajiado or Narok and talk to the youth, and maybe ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not really agree with him that we should reward people who are tailors. This is because when we think about it, this is a talent that one has acquired over time, but we still have not mastered it. There are people who, over time for years - from Italy and other countries – have mastered the art of tailoring and become master tailors. It is true that most people in Kenya would go to a tailor and get a suit. However, for you to be considered as having worn a proper suit, you must know ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is one Senator that I greatly admire and respect as my elder and mentor, it is none other than Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri. All I was trying to say is very clear. In this world, nowadays, people can utter certain words that can mean totally different. A good example is that the President of the Republic of Kenya today made some statement that left everyone in stitches. He said that his wife’s brother’s mother comes from Jamaica. We were all left wondering who these “wife’s brother’s mother” was. Is it his mother-in-law or does the First ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: In conclusion, Madam Temporary Speaker, I fully support the Bill, but with proper amendments. Let us not just come up with legislation to create room for people to just say, “Okay, I am going to pay so much to this county public service board member, so that I can be included in that hall of fame.” We must do an audit of the skills that we think ought to be celebrated. We must look at the talents that we believe ought to be celebrated. view
