To help deal with situations, because sometimes we are not sure whether we will exhaust the business for the day on Thursday, I beg the Chair to consider and indulge the Senate Business Committee (SBC), so that we set aside Thursday afternoons for county oversight reports. I assure you that the House will never be short of business because the number of reports that the CPAIC is holding are enough to keep this Senate busy for the next six months.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even if you will not rule on it now, I beg that you consider setting aside Thursday afternoons because we spend Wednesdays on Divisions and Tuesdays on Bills. We should set aside the first two hours on Thursdays for consideration of the CPAIC reports and use the remaining time on Motions.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the County Hall of Fame Bill. I want the distinguished Senator for Kericho to feel at ease because when he heard that you had given me the Floor, he kind of took off. He is very close to the door.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is none. That is why I stand guided.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not even want him to listen to me. I just want him to feel at ease.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know Sen. Cheruiyot has had some adventures over the weekend, some that have captured the national attention and imagination.

I think it will be safer for us to proceed with the County Hall of Fame Bill, rather than to reflect on some of Sen. Cheruiyot’s recent adventures. Now that I see Sen. Cheruiyot is at ease, allow me to go to the content of this Bill before us. I want to thank Sen. Murkomen for bringing back the Bill to this House. This Bill was brought to this House in the last Parliament. It was brought by Sen. Sang’ who is now the Governor for Nandi. Sometimes I usually imagine that the good Senators who have sat in this ...

Likewise, I would have expected that the Governor for Nandi who was the Senator and the Mover, original creator of this Bill, would have proactively established a Nandi Hall of Fame by now. He would have proactively implemented some of the provisions of this Bill because nothing stops a governor from moving his executives to draft a Bill, take to the County Assembly, and put it to law. I would have expected some of the good Senators who were in this House in the last Parliament and who have since then become governors to have implemented the County Development Boards ...

it has taken that long from his days in the Judiciary, Agricultural Society of Kenya and in the public sector. It has taken him so long to be recognised. I was also excited when I saw the Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot being proposed for a national honour. It is only two days ago that I started asking myself a few questions. However, I think events of two days are not enough to wipe out the achievements that this Senator has had over the last 30 days.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many unsung heroes in our counties. If we set up a County Hall of Fame in my county, I would wish to see the first inductees not being former or current politicians. There are many women working at the beaches of Homa Bay who are afflicted with HIV/AIDS scourge. We also have children who contracted HIV/AIDS from their mothers despite the campaigns that no child should be born with HIV/AIDS. Technology has advanced to prevent mother to child transmission. These are the kind of people who should be the first inductees in the hall ...
