• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate the team that went to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. I am one of the very proud Members of this House. Other than the fact that Kenya got quite a number of medals, my constituency managed to produce some of the many medals. Mr. Paul Tanui comes from Kamara in my constituency. We also have Mr. Ferguson Rotich who was the fifth in 800 metres. He is also from my constituency. We also have Faith Chepngentich who comes from the neighbouring Kuresoi ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I will speak as an experienced athlete. I am a retired marathoner. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am not joking about this because it is on record in this House. I participated in five consecutive half-marathons in Poland representing this Parliament. That can be a gumbaru ya marathon because I did not run when I was in school. When I came to this House and realised not very many of those gentlemen and ladies were fast, I decided to give myself that opportunity. In 2003, 2004 and 2005, I was the bronze medallist in Africa representing this Parliament. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: If I were to take that bronze medal, I would have taken it for life. The unfortunate bit is that the person who beat me and took the gold was Hon. (Maj.-Gen.) Nkaissery, who is close to 20 years older than me. I am very proud of him. So, I speak as an experienced athlete. I know how much effort is put into making it in international fora in athletics. Athletics is a very important component of a country, in terms of the economy, social well-being and the political bit. The only time when Kenyans are extremely patriotic and act ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: had the World Athletics Championship in Kenya in 2007, I participated very strongly in Mombasa. I was among the Members of Parliament who went to Mombasa. The World Athletics Championship almost changed the economic well-being of this country in tourism. There are quite a number of people who came to Mombasa at that time and did not know that Africa, and Kenya in particular, is very good in the good sides they can enjoy. Those are the areas that we should tap in and encourage our Kenyan brothers and sisters who participate in athletics. They bring us glory and political ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: In conclusion, let us not dwell too much in the failings of one or two officials. Let us serve ourselves in the beauty of the gold medals which we managed to get from the Olympics. They are the highest in the history of our country. The only time that we were close to this was in 1998, when I was in Form Four. We got five gold medals. We have six gold medals this time. We should use betting processes like Sportspesa to improve public good, including sports. That is what all other countries in the world are doing. I ... view
