• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I invite Sen. Mwaura to second. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Senator for Kericho for bringing this Motion to this House. I had thought of bringing one, but when I spoke to him, he had beaten me to the tape. Being from the place of great runners, he ran faster than me. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when Eliud Kipchoge broke the World Marathon record, I was watching him from Ghana. I had gone for the burial of Kofi Annan. I was sitting with Ghanaians, including the former President John Kufuor, as we watched. Each and every one of them felt the pride that Kenyans feel. President Kufuor asked me why The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: this young man cannot be a Ghanaian. He did so well that anybody could never have helped being proud of him. He is not the first to break a world record; we have the legendary Henry Rono who broke the world record of steeple chase four times in two months, but degenerated into something else due to lack of proper advice. On Saturday, when Eliud Kpchoge was attempting the first ever sub two hour marathon, the commentators on Cable News Network (CNN), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and all international media were comparing Eliud Kipchoge with Neil Armstrong when he stepped ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you could see that at the end of the race, the young man was so energetic and full of power that he could have done even better if he wished to. We salute him. Hot on the heels of Eliud Kipchoge’s feet, Brigid Kosgei smashed the 16-year-old world record that the legendary Paula Radcliffe had set. Those of us and I believe my distinguished learned Senior, James Orengo, who is also a keen follower of athletics, who saw Paula Radcliffe running, the lady was a powerhouse. She ran her marathons from the front to end and ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Jepkosgei. I advised that when our athletes go out, like now Brigid Kosgei, Moses Kiptanui then and now Kipchoge, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should give them protocol officers to help them in passing through immigration and even talking to the media. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I remember - and it is laughable, but it is because of lack of training - when one Kenyan girl after winning a marathon in the USA was asked: “How did you manage to beat everybody?” She said: “I was just running, and I kept running and God came into me; and I kept ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: That is just because she has not been trained to handle the media in such an international glare. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a duty to help these young Kenyans and train them. You can imagine when Kipchoge won and broke this record; Obama tweeted about him. The President of Kenya and many other dignitaries talked to him. These are the real ambassadors of Kenya; not those who eat caviar and drink wine, whiskey and champagne every evening in unknown places. They go out there, carrying our flag. When Eliud Kipchoge broke the world record earlier on in Berlin, ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: arrive with his money, so that they can slice off what he has earned. When this kind of success is registered, we should even give these athletes tax breaks. This is money they have earned after running so hard. They should not come here and we start taxing them when all the rich people in this country are evading tax every day. We should not allow that to happen. I salute Eliud Kipchoge, Brigid Kosgei, our team in Doha and all our other teams. However, I urge that whatever we formulate as policy and law, we should also look at ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Or gender balance. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Public Finance Management Act is very clear that a public entity cannot procure for goods or services unless it has a budget and money for it in its account. When we are told that people have supplied goods and services to Government entities and are not paid, it is against an existing law and Government circulars. More importantly, the President pronounced not once or twice that all Government departments must clear pending bills owed to Kenyans within one month. This is more than four months ago. What has happened? What is the value ... view
