We also determined the amount of work that has been done. Shockingly, I went to Marsabit and Wote stadia - which we have paid a lot of money for - and found that the situation is very bad and pathetic. We do not even know what Kshs113 million was used to do in Wote and Marsabit stadia.

On tendering, those companies do not even understand the meaning of stadia. I was brought up in Europe and I have attended many international games like the Olympics, World Cup in Russia and others. I have also visited the Arsenal Stadium and Manchester City. We are shamelessly building shoddy things and calling them stadia. We have absolutely no stadia status in this country. Even the Nyayo National Stadium does not meet international standards. Kasarani equally the same yet, we are here talking about investing Kshs2.5 billion which we cannot even The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank our Chairman, Hon. Kenta, for bringing a wonderful Report. I would like to inform you that I was part of the delegation of Members who travelled to Western Kenya and Nyanza to investigate this matter. I recall that the effort took two days traversing and criss-crossing Muhoroni, Chemelil, Mumias, Miwani and all the way to South Nyanza Sugar Company. I am not emotional but I am one of the biggest losers because I was a shareholder in Mumias Sugar Company. I lost millions of shillings ...

We need to revive the sugar sector if at all we are serious. The National Treasury made a commitment to come up with a strategy to revive the industry, but nothing has been done so far. Members of Parliament from Western and Nyanza must follow up on this issue as we co-operate to ensure that those industries are revived.
