• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have interacted with a few farmers, and the suffering they are going through is immense. In this country, people do not know that farmers depend on payments for their produce just like we depend on our salaries. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock should order a stop of payment of salaries to NCPB staff so that they can feel the pinch that farmers are feeling. Since it is EACC who ordered that payment for the maize delivered to the NCPB should stop, their staff should also stop receiving their salaries for only two months so that they know what the farmers are going through. They use payments for their maize to pay their hospital bills and school fees. Now everything has come to a standstill. Hon. Speaker, I support the petition by Hon Alfred Keter. The ... view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to thank the Members who overwhelmingly supported this Motion. It cuts across all the edges and political parties. It showed a good picture out there that this House is mindful about the development of our young men. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to say that through this Motion, we are going to produce many sportsmen in the country and eliminate a lot of challenges many young people have been facing especially while travelling from one region to another looking for a facility. We know the challenges that young people are facing especially in this era of unemployment. In the past, we have had a lot of young men going to other countries to look for opportunities to participate in sports or migrating to other areas. The Government has been spending a lot of money renovating stadia, which we all ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, setting up these centres of excellence and specifically a rugby stadium will enable this sport to grow. As these stadia become multipurpose, many people benefit including people living with disabilities because in Olympics, they also participate. Through this, we are going to discover a lot of sporting games. I know of a game that has not been introduced in Kenya and I am very sure it is going to win in Olympics and other competitions. Archery is a simple sport. If young people are given facilities, they are going to participate, win and put Kenya in good light. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, I thank the Members and I hope this will be considered in the next budget. We do not want to make a proposal in the House that lacks funding. So, we will follow it up with funding and ensure that it is implemented. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Before I conclude, I would like to send my condolences to one of our sportsmen, Nicholas Bett, who put Kenya on the map as one of the champions and won in the 400 metres. He died this morning. I am saddened by that. He was one of the many young people I was fighting for in this House and I know the entire sporting fraternity is mourning his death. I wish the community and family God’s peace. May his soul rest in peace. view
