Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as Alexander Mutiso Munyao, Peres Jepchirchir and others landed yesterday at 5.00 a.m., there was no one to receive them at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) or even to give them a Maasai shuka . It is very embarrassing to these world-beaters. I also wish to call upon the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Athletics Kenya and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK), to embrace openness and transparency during team selection, for various teams representing Kenya in various competitions around the world, especially as our team is preparing for the August Paris Olympics to avoid such a shame. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I also wish to call upon the Anti-Doping Agency (ADAK) to enhance its vigilance and eradicate rogue agencies and coaches masquerading and spoiling the athlete’s careers and the good name of our athletes by making them to engage in doping, unknowingly to enrich themselves. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I end that Statement and move to the statement under Standing Order No. 53 (1)."},{"id":1403672,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1403672/?format=json","text_counter":59,"type":"heading","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN CONSTRUCTION AND APPROVAL FOR OCCUPATION OF BUNGE TOWERS"},{"id":1403673,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1403673/?format=json","text_counter":60,"type":"other","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing, concerning financial accountability in the construction and approval for the occupation of Bunge Tower which has been christened the Tower of Babel; In the statement the committee should– (1) Explain the factors that led to the escalation of the project cost of Bunge Tower from the initial budget of Kshs5.8 billion to a revised figure of Kshs9.6 billion, listing all contractors and suppliers involved in the construction of Bunge Tower, including the payments made to each and any other pending payments.
