20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
I am not sure whether this uniform is parliamentary dress. I do not want to talk about Hon. Otiende Amollo because that has been his dress, only that he has forgotten that there is a specific dress code for Parliament. When you look at Hon. Otiende Amollo, you will keep quiet. In fact, there is total confusion between him and the Clerks-at-the-Table. Sometimes you wonder whether that is KANU or service uniform. Just like the way we are cautious about the formation of caucuses, Hon. Millie Odhiambo was telling me last week that there are people who are looking for ...

20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker, now that we have disposed of the matter of dressing, let us go to the Second Reading of the Sports (Amendment) Bill. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Sports (Amendment) Bill 2018 be now read a Second Time. Hon. Speaker, as Hon. Members are aware, the sports, arts and social development, which is part of the universal health care, plays a very critical role in the socio-economic development of our country.

shall be paid into. That is the reason the Government decided to tax the lotteries 35 per cent. I think we need to increase it to 50 per cent. The Chairman of the Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism has that Bill coming.

So, Hon. Speaker, this Bill is so important as its sole objective is to facilitate the elimination of overlaps in the funding of the sports sector by repealing the provisions of the Sports Act that provide for the establishment and operationalisation of the National Sports Fund and the National Sports Fund Board of Trustees. So, these amendments want to anchor in law two institutions: The National Sports Fund where all the monies from the gaming, lotteries and winnings will be channelled and, the board of trustees of the National Sports Fund.

20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, the House will recall that it recently passed the Sports Arts and Social Development Regulations established under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act to avoid the creation of two funds under one statute. It is the intention of the Government to wind up the Sports Fund under the Sports Act. So, we already have a Sports Fund. In order not to create two overlapping funds, the Government feels that now we need to undo and repeal from the Sports Act, the current Sports Fund.

In a nutshell, Clause 2 of the Bill provides for the deletion of the definition of “Board of Trustees” and the words “National Sports Fund Board of Trustees” appearing under the definition of the Sports Instruments. Clause 3 proposes to amend Section 6 of the parent Act in order to remove the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Sports Fund from the membership of the Board of Sports Kenya.

20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
Clause 11 provides for the amendment of the Fourth Schedule to the Act in order to provide transitional provisions for the transfer of assets, liabilities and staff of the current National Sports Fund Board of Trustees upon repeal of Part III of the Act. I, therefore, wish to request Hon. Members to support this Bill so that there is a comprehensive approach in the financing of the sports sector and eliminating duplication and overlap in the funding.

20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
Basically, that is the gist of this Bill: to bring a comprehensive approach in the financing of the sports sector and to eliminate duplication and overlap when it comes to the funding of sports. It is a small Bill and I am sure Hon. Members who have a copy of it will give their input.
