Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an important Bill. It is no doubt that sports have enhanced the reputation of our country. It has made us proud. It is also a source of employment and wealth creation for our youth. There is a perception that Kenya is benefiting out of...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. Is Sen. Ndiema - a Member who was elected through the party of the presidential candidate in this House - in order to allege that there is no self regulation? The agency is part of the self regulation of the sports...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the composition of the board, there is no slot for representatives of the regulating agencies. So, what we are saying is that if this board should---

Give him a half a minute.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sports is a devolved function. There should be a representative from the counties in this Agency. It is our responsibility as a Senate to ensure that they are represented.Do I still have a minute?

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for that recognition. In athletics, we all recognise that Nyantika Maiyoro of Kisii County was the first Kenyan to win a medal in an international competition during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in the 1960s. We also recognize Wilson Kiprugut of Kericho County...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I meant that we should do what the drafters of the Constitution appreciated, that the legislative arm of Government will legislate without implementation as an executive role. I think they clearly defined what we are supposed to do. It is only that we have...

Sen. Elachi

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to laud this petition because it gives a chance for organizations to look at regulations and the security that goes therein. Most of the processes and regulations are held within the institutions. Therefore, when institutions flout those regulations, it is difficult for...

Sen. Elachi On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point of order raised by Sen. Billow is extremely important. It will help the Chairperson of my Committee if he remembers that in the last Parliament, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in its Report found the then Governor of...

On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to refer the Chair to Standing Order Nos. 34 and 35 to notify you that despite the fact that my colleague was on the Floor contributing, the House does not have enough number of Members that form the quorum...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I plead with the Chair that he reconsiders what he is about to rule on whether the statement by Sen. Muthama regarding what the president said in Israel should be expunged. It should stay there because there is one thing I...

You do not have to over discuss that because we have heard.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it should remain on HANSARD so that when our grandchildren come, they will know that when Sen. Elachi said that we are thieves, she meant that she is a thief with the others and not with those who are fighting corruption. (Laughter)
