Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir is Sen. Murkomen of Elgeyo Marakwet in order to continue exhibiting unhelpful excitement over matters he does not understand? The other day he tweeted that Julius Caesar was buried by his killers. I hear him quoting the Bible. I do not know if he knows that Jesus was not buried by his killers. The things he is talking about are very grave. He The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to also contribute to this Amendment Bill. Before, I go to the Bill, I wish to say the following: My brothers hon. Raila Odinga, hon. Kalonzo Musyoka and I were invited by the President to meet as leaders of this country. We were invited to a luncheon hosted in honour of the visiting President of the Republic of Korea. We attended the luncheon. People may be wondering where our brother hon. Kalonzo Musyoka is. He is out of the country in China on an official/ private visit. He is fully in the picture of the ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, you were sitting here when you heard the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet speak, even cynically saying we were all smiling. Did he expect us to meet the President crying? What did he want us to do? He said that he saw us smiling broadly. It is not that he is complementing us. You know what cynicism means in life. He is being cheaply cynical about a very serious matter, because people have lost lives. People are still angry in this country and we are trying to reduce this anger and tension. My distinguished brother, Sen. Murungi was ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I will dwell on the Bill. For my brother, Sen. Murkomen, for whom I have great respect, it is unlikely that he will stop carrying William Ruto’s briefcase and support me.

I know that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is a very good student. I am sure he will see through the things that we are saying at a later stage. Like I said, he does not get excited and make statements that infuriate people. Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 31(4) states that disputes involving national and county level athletes, athlete support personnel, sports federations, sports organisations, professional athletes and professional sports persons shall be resolved by the tribunal both at the first instance and at appeal. I have never heard of a trial tribunal sitting at the first instance and then sitting as ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my distinguished colleague for the information but I think we are saying the same thing. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki should look at the appellate structure and see if there is a dispute that goes beyond the internal mechanism. They have a tribunal out there like FIFA. The tribunal that tried and suspended Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter, was not their national tribunal but rather the international tribunal in Switzerland. I am sure that the international tribunal can and should have jurisdiction to hear matters that come from states that go beyond the dispute mechanism of the ...
