• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of clear separation is important but I think hon. Members of Parliament, being leaders, should be allowed to be ex officio members of these bodies. In considering the project proposals, they should consult the Member of Parliament. The word “administrator” should be removed. On the lapse of the term of the members, I want to propose that instead of three years it should be two and a half years renewable so that they expire with the term of the Member of Parliament. view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Lastly is on the county projects committee, I think in this Bill, there is need to consider it very clearly and openly. There is need to fund this county project committee given that the accounts are within constituencies. Otherwise, I support the work being done by the CDF in this country. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to support this Bill. On the outset, I want to sincerely thank the youthful Minister and, indeed, it shows very clearly that youthful leaders can change this country, for ensuring that this Bill is before this House. We came here as leaders to come and change certain things that are not very clear and that are not moving in the right direction. One of them is sports in this country. This is a sporting nation. More so, internationally, Kenya is known in athletics. If you look at our ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: The object of this Bill is to promote sports. We must, as a country, address the serious challenges that sports are facing in this country. One is that as a country, while we have international athletes, our stadia are in very bad shape. The Minister has mentioned the Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret. I want to invite him to the Kipchoge Stadium in Kapsabet. He will not know that he is in a stadium until someone tells him so. It is in a very pathetic state that should not be allowed aware that our international athletes come from there. If ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to suggest that the athletes be part of the board because they are the ones who know where the shoe pinches most, as the saying goes. It is important to incorporate the athletes in the Board. What we have witnessed of late is a country that is benefitting a lot from the athletes and yet going back to the same athletes and saying that they want to tax them a bit. This is frustrating to our athletes who should be considered as the first ambassadors of our country. Therefore, taxing them here is ... view

• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I want to indicate that this Bill is addressing a very important resource in this country – the so-called “hands-on Kenyans” or Kenyans with vocational and technical skills. Those are actually the movers of any economy in the world. I want to indicate that, as a Committee, we have worked very closely with the Minister and his staff. We have looked at this Bill. Of course, we will be proposing a few amendments to it but I want to really support it and indicate that it is important that this Parliament passes this Bill before we go on recess. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill is addressing the issue of management and co-ordination of training of that very important category of Kenyans. The Bill is addressing most of the challenges that most of those institutions face today. One of them is the issue of co-ordination. It is very important that we have an Authority view
