• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important for us to be serious as a nation. In my view, the way the whole thing was treated is wrong. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: The way we treated our gallant athletes was wrong. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I support what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has been talking about. Since that was a national issue, it should have been looked at nationally and not as a Rift Valley affair. That was a national issue, but it was treated wrongly. We cannot say that we are trivialising anything if we say that, that was a Rift Valley affair because it was not. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion by the Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot. I take this opportunity to congratulate our athletes who performed in the recent games. We are proud of Eliud Kipchoge and Hellen Obiri. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: On Saturday, everybody was wondering what time the race would start. I thought it was to be in the morning, but we were not quite sure of the time. However, I was happy when I realised that it was to be in the evening. As Eliud competed, I looked at his pacesetters who were calculative. I wondered how he would surpass them so that he would become number one. My mind was not right. However, that is the way I was looking at it. I was proud. I sat in disbelieve.

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: One thing that we, as a nation, should do is to always go beyond personal issues and politics. I have seen us do it all the time. For example, when we had the tragedy in Mombasa, I saw the same thing. I congratulate our leaders from the Rift Valley. If you see the development that is going on in Eldoret, I largely believe that it is as a result of these athletes. Young people from the Rift Valley are watching the athletes and are coming up to compete in races. In sports, we should not look at the athletes alone. ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: produce money. I do not think that is the way forward and that is how we want to run this nation. Just as the national Government looks for money by taxing people, counties should do the same. In the Rift Valley, for example, athletics is one of the areas of interest and they can do that by developing stadia, nurturing talent and spending time on them. This weekend I was in a rural area. There is a football tournament going on and it is good. However, football is left for the young people to run it on their own. Nobody ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to the sentiments of the Senate Majority Leader because we need to go beyond partisan politics, and the truth must be told. We need to give Kenyans direction on how to handle the whole issue. The Jubilee Government had a lot of promises for Kenya. They promised to create over 500,000 job opportunities every year. That was a big number compared to what we are now seeing. view
