• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We had Patrick Waweru who used to play for Tusker Football Club and got injured when playing for Harambee Stars on national duty. He is now languishing in poverty because Tusker Football Club never wanted to engage him anymore. After his two year contract, he was released and yet he was playing for the national team, Harambee Stars. He is now left struggling. So the Committee needs to look into how to handle players who are doing national duty. view

We have left these television rights to a few individuals to make money. For us to make money to be contributed to the Fund, the Committee needs to look at these television rights. Whenever we have a major sporting activity, we just allow people to watch. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I represent the Rift Valley in the Kenya Football Federation.

We cannot have money going to allowances, tickets and Ministry officials and not other beneficiaries. When they went to the Olympic Games last year, we had over 50 officials and 30 sportsmen and women. Is that what we want? We would want this Act to specify where this money is going to. I saw in my constituency where the former MP brought a sports activity and each team was getting Kshs3,000.

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Bill. First, I take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President for believing in devolution. He would have accepted to dissolve Makueni County Government, but in his wisdom as a person who believes in devolution, he never accepted the resolution that had been taken to dissolve that county government.
