• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in commending Eliud Kipchoge, Brigid Kosgey and our entire team that was in Doha. Surprisingly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir – and I want the Senate Majority Leader to hear this – Brigid Kosgey is back in the country. She just came back into the country very humbly and quietly, with no fanfare. I am just praying that Eliud Kipchoge--- view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I am told he is already at home. He came quietly. While we are commending him, he is just somewhere in Eldoret with no motorcades. It feels very sad. Sen. Orengo and I travelled recently and came across one of the most famous stadiums. We were commending the Brazilian team for the things they have done. When France won the World cup or any other team won the Champions League, they would not go back home quietly. We would not allow them to come quietly. If this lady was from Qatar or any other country, she would not come back ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I do not weigh 57 kilogrammes. That is why I have included myself. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: When Sen. Poghisio was talking--- view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I do not want to speak for Sen. Halake, but we know. The challenges that Sen. Poghisio was talking about, not being able to run are real. This is because, first of all, he must lose weight and be as light as this man for him to run fast. However, it is pure sacrifice. He is also right that we spend so much time commending so many people, but people like these do not get the commendations that this country should give them. There should be a roll of honour for people like Eliud Kipchoge. There should be a street ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I am simply saying that the optics do not look right. In order to present a better picture to the nation, even if they were going on their own volition, they should have invited people from other regions to accompany them, so that it does not look like a village affair. The delegation comprised of Gov. Mandago from his area and Gov. Sang who is building a stadium. It just looks like a village affair! view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know me to exercise my mind and not leave my brain at home. Sen. Poghisio said, and nobody disputed, that Eliud Kipchoge was a hero for Kenyans by day, but by nightfall he became a tribesperson. That is the point I was making. I was going to get to the point that there is a way we manage our affairs without knowing that we are tribalising them. That is what I was saying. I said that it is wrong for this country because the gentleman who won eventually had a flag of Kenya, and that ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, the point I made previously is that this country must find one symbol that brings us together because our second names do not. That is why I still think that Kenyans should use the flag as a symbol of national unity, because it is an important tool for bringing us together as opposed to many other issues. I have made serious comments on serious issues that must be taken for posterity because what has happened has happened, but it should not be repeated. Sen. Poghisio said that if we have sports grounds all over ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it possible that the HANSARD of these good words of the Senators be forwarded to these good Kenyans as a way of honouring them? That way, they will know that we have spoken about them. Even if nobody else honours them, they should know that the Senate of this Republic has very kind words for them. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assist on this particular issue. view
