• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Faith Kipyegon has made us proud. Kenya is shining across the World now. We want to continue and even reward. Somebody said that the President of Uganda sets aside a big car, a Prado and a house for those who beat Kenyans. Ethiopia also rewards their athletes very well. In Kenya, maybe we need to speak to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Sports so that we set aside resources when we are doing our budget every year to reward our athletes. With that, we can at least continue making Kenya shine across the world so that we regain the ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: There is something that we need to do, apart from rewarding them. We also need to train them in terms of investments. We have lost many athletes in the past. They get rewards and make money. However, in the process, they do not have people to teach them investment management. If we teach them how to invest, when they grow old and reach an age that they are not competing anymore, they will have income from what they will have earned during their youth. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Omanyala has also made us very proud because the 100 metres race has never been known as a Kenyan sport. It has been associated with the United States of America (USA) and maybe Nigerians. However, Omanyala has made us proud. So, we need to encourage our colleagues to compete in all the races because we are capable of winning, earning forex exchange from sports. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate them. At least even now, we know Wanyonyi has done us proud. We should invite these athletes every year to come and speak to us, and encourage the youth so that they know we can make money by engaging both in education and also competing in other sports. view

• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: (d) Statement sought by Sen. Joe Nyutu regarding the status of the Last Mile Project in Murang’a County. We are still waiting for the responses from the Cabinet Secretary. The committee has been conducting an inquiry into the high cost of electricity in the country. The committee has met all the stakeholders, all Independent Power Producers (IPPs), that is those who produce 50 megawatts and above. The experience has been eye-opening as it demystified a lot of myths held before meeting the teams. It is, indeed, true that electricity in Kenya is generated by the IPPS. The IPPs have signed ... view

• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second the Konza Technopolis Bill by Sen. Orwoba. As it has been said, the Konza Technopolis was established as one of the flagship projects under the Vision 2030. That was in 2012. It operated under a legal notice that expired last year. As I speak, the Konza Technopolis is being run without any legal backing. We needed to renew that legal notice so that as we continue with the Bill, at least, the establishment runs properly. As the Mover has said, this Bill seeks to establish the Konza Technopolis. This particular Bill will be ... view
