• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important matter. When this matter was brought up by the Member for Mvita, it was in good faith. He was fighting for his people. Hon. Badi Twalib also participated to make sure that the people of Mombasa and the rest of the people the railway serves, which covers Ukambani, for at least 200 kilometres, are protected. There have been a lot of questions which the Committee sought to resolve. One of the things we have done with SGR is that we have invested lots ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: transfer. Our own people should have the technology to run the SGR efficiently. We should also involve local transporters so that the SGR can deliver goods to their destinations. Previously, there was a lot of confusion as to once now you have transported the containers then what and then taking the containers back to the port. This is because ordinarily the normal transporter - the lorry users- would take the container out of Mombasa and eventually take it back there. Therefore, there is an opportunity for this particular container to go back with other goods such as tea and coffee ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will soon join the two of you so that we keep fit. I was the first Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) in this country in... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: No. I spoke on something else on railways. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: No. No. I kept on getting lost and I was wondering why I was not on the line. Being the first Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) in the country in 2008 during President Kibaki’s administration, we made a big effort. We are the ones, together in the Ministry of Youth and Sports then; that laid the structure of what the Ministry of Sports is implementing today. We sat in meetings those days and came up with the plans and when devolution came, sports were also devolved. The few activities which are being undertaken by the national Government cannot be spread across ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: harnessed from the grassroots because we have a lot of talent in this country and we can shine in the world. I believe if we participated in all the field and major events in an Olympics, we could easily be number one in the world and many gold medals would come in this country. In addition, that will encourage the youth. They will make a career out of it. Additionally, we will do very well in football. You know what has been happening to the Kenyan football over the years. Part of it is the stadia where those people can ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Recently, when the Shona people came to Parliament, having left Kiambu Parliament to make a case for themselves, Hon. Shamalla and I represented the National Assembly to listen to them. They are very well documented in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). I believe there is a case for the Shona, the Pemba and any other minority in the country, who were here before Independence during the British rule. Now that we have the Huduma Namba, this is the opportunity for those people to be recognized. When we made the Huduma Namba law, it became clear ... view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have been on the intervention button for quite some time. Is it in order for Hon. Mbadi to impute improper motive against the Governor of Nairobi City County and even giving names on the Floor of the House, while he is aware that he is already in court on some of the matters? He also had an agreement with the President. Is he making it better by calling the Governor names here, while we know that he was elected by over a million people? view
