• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support it because it will help us write our history well. Kenya has not gotten the history of our people right. Our children will know more about Vasco da Gama than they would know about the reforms that Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri introduced in the various Ministries that he went through. Madam Temporary Speaker, our children will know the history of Europe more than the history of our own people. No wonder we have a lot of streets named after heroes that we ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 12 talks about a person who may be inducted to the county hall of fame. Clause 12 (b) talks about a county or country, whereas Clause 12 (c) talks about a State or Public officer who has made an exemplary contribution to the betterment of the county government. I have a little problem with that. This is because a State officer may be a resident of Uasin Gishu County, but has an impact in Kitui.

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Therefore, is it Kitui County alone that will recognize him or her or the people of Uasin Gishu will want to recognize the person as what Kenyans call ‘their person’? As we define a public or State officer, it is important to appreciate the person who has had an impact. I persuade the Mover of the Bill, the Senate Majority Leader, that Clause 12 (d) should be- “a person who has otherwise brought honour, glory and pride to a country or county.” By doing that, we will allow for flow of recognition and recognize a person for an impact that ... view

• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you in welcoming the students from Kapngetuny Boys from my county of Uasin Gishu. I wish them well because next term is the exam term. I wish them all the best. I look forward to seeing good results from them. I have known Kapngetuny Boys High School for a long time. It is a school that has produced giant leaders. I wish them well. They should learn what they can from the leaders who are here. I look forward to seeing good results from them. Hard work is the key. Therefore, we believe ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving the opportunity to join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the two bereaved families; the family of the late Hon. Ken Okoth and the late Governor, Hon. (Dr.) Joyce Laboso. I send condolences both from my family, and on behalf of Uasin Gishu County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not get to know Hon. Ken Okoth, but when I saw that he was only 41 years, my heart went out to his young family, the children he has left behind within a very short time and the people who depended on him. ... view
