• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid did us proud. We are very proud to be associated or identified with them as a nation and as individuals. They have done very well to give us the much accolade we need. There are also other athletes in the past who have contributed positively to giving Kenya a good image. They also deserve our appreciation. There are many more sports persons who continue to give us the good image that we should have as a nation, they equally deserve appreciation. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to attain the kind of feat Eliud Kipchoge attained for himself requires discipline, effort and not just knee-jerk effort, but serious effort, training, support and spirituality. I think that all these requirements repose in Eliud Kipchoge. Indeed, he was able to confirm that human limitations are imposed by human beings and can be exceeded or broken any time. This also goes for Brigid Kosgei for what she achieved. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Sports people, particularly young people who engage in sports and who are appreciated for engaging in sports, if you look at their general behaviour in life, you will find that they shun violence, indiscipline and all the vices that good people do not want to be identified with. The reason they do so is that the human mind likes being appreciated. Once people identify you as a hero and say that you are a good person, you begin to see how responsible you should be. You begin to appreciate the fact that human beings have identified you as a leader ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: One of the best ways of ensuring that young persons in this nation continue walking in the right path is to create a culture of appreciating success. If our children or our young ones who are successful in school or in any activity that they endevour to get in are appreciated, they confer upon themselves the responsibility of behaving well. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I plead with colleagues that the institutionalisation of appreciating people who do well will go a long way in ensuring that young persons in this nation are inspired. It is quite timely that in the very good House called the Senate, we are taking our time to discuss the success of Eliud Kipchoge, Brigid Kosgey and other athletes. We are doing a very positive thing, and I hope that this appreciation will not just stop in the context of this Motion. We should think of tangible things that should be done or put in place ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I know that one or two of our previous heroes have had stadia named after them. For instance, we have the Kipkeino or Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County. Recently, in this House, we discussed the success of one Joe Kadenge. It was proposed that we name one stadium in memory of that individual, but it has not been done. I hope that those who listen and take note of what we debate here will do that. We should think of what institution, memorable event or place to name them so that we appear to honour Eliud Kipchoge, ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: done this nation proud. That way, we will not appear to be just coming here to make speeches. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should also think of how to reward or appreciate the heroes we have in a material sense. There are many people who have made our anthem to be sung in certain places. In my other life, I was the Minister for Sports, Heritage and Culture, and I traveled to Helsinki, Finland, for an event organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). When I visited that nation, I also had the misfortune of visiting one of ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: However, if you can do it for Eliud Kipchoge and the other fellows, and ensure that the safety net is given to them, that should take care of their interest and that of all politicians view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for the opportunity to say two things: First, I was equally skeptical about the marginalization this House has been suffering in the hands of our younger brothers and sisters in the other House. In your ruling, you have indicated that you will communicate to Treasury the fact that they should not act on the regulations until this House approves. I want to plead with you to ensure that in the communication you will issue, you will capture the fact that we have five calendar weeks and not 14 days. ... view
