• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I congratulate the distinguished Senator for Uasin Gishu for bringing this Motion. However, because of the constraints of time, I will be very brief. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have a serious shortage of skills in this country. I remember that three years ago, a company that was undertaking the construction of a highway from Eldoret to Malaba wanted to recruit drivers for earthmovers and bulldozers. Surprisingly, in the whole of my county extending up to here in Eldoret, Kitale and Kakamega, they could not get anybody. Drivers are available, but they are ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. When Eliud Kipchoge broke this record in Berlin, I was having breakfast with the former President of Ghana, John Kufuor and with him were former Ministers of his Government. You would have thought that I was the one who had broken the record. I was hugged, greeted and cheered. I felt very proud to be a Kenyan. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our young athletes have done this country proud. Immediately we celebrated Eliud Kipchoge, Gladys Cherono was on heels to win the Berlin Marathon as well. ... view

• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: I did that so that anywhere she goes, she is recognized as a Kenyan diplomat, hence, marketing and giving a good image of the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had other greats, including my namesake and good friend, Moses Kiptanui, who was also the first Kenyan man to win the Golden Circuit and walked home with a million dollars, and has done very well. There are a few who have done very well, but there are others, like the great Henry Rono, who fell by the wayside. I agree fully with Sen. Murkomen that we need to find a ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: will, Government support and a tracking system where these young people can be helped to develop and nurture their talent. I want to leave others to contribute, but I stand here as a very proud Kenyan. I want to inform my friend, Eliud Kipchoge, that while I was in Ghana, I enjoyed his limelight on his behalf. Thank you. view

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, whichever committee you will commit this Petition to, should go beyond listening to the complainants and coming to table a report and we forget about it. This Petition reflects on many issues that we have noted in this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Everybody knew he was carrying away gold and all other minerals attendant to gold. We need to ask ourselves why in this late hour in our history, we do not have a law that protects communities, investors, interests of the national Government and those of county governments. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: We have just come from Australia with the Committee on Finance and Budget led by Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud. We learned from Western Australia that mining is owned by the counties or provinces where the mines are domiciled. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: It is those counties that sit and negotiate with the national Government and determine what share of the proceeds will go to the national Government for national good to deal with security and other issues. We need to borrow a leaf from this Australian experience that, if gold is in West Pokot or Nandi County, it is those counties that should negotiate with the national Government to see what share the national Government should take out of this. view
