• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I was saying that the Committee, together with the Member who requested the Statement, visited Naivasha and had a feel of the situation there. We have already planned another meeting with the directors of Karuturi sometime next week; I am requesting that we be given more time, so that we conclude the meeting that we have already planned before we come and give our Statement. I have already spoken to the Member concerned and he is in agreement. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon.

• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to start with hon. Anyanga. The Statement I have delivered signed by the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and Services. I am not in a position to know if these centres exist; I only know what I have read out. This is because my Committee has not travelled to that constituency to go and confirm if actually these centres exist physically. So, it is very difficult for me to confirm whether what he CS has written here is true. I am not in a position to confirm that. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the best that the Committee can do is, maybe, visit one or two stadia to confirm whether they really exist or not. Maybe, that is something which the Committee can undertake to do, so that we can verify whether the information that we were given by the Ministry is correct or not. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Harrison Kombe has talked about counties. I remember that when I was reading out the centres, I mentioned Machakos and Kisumu counties. So, I am up to date when it comes to the requirements of the new Constitution. Hon. Maanzo mentioned that in the previous Government, he was the Secretary for Sports. I thought he would be able to help us on the criteria they used to identify this particular one since he was in the Ministry. The criteria given in this response are that the schools were selected regionally, and depending on availability of relevant ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have got the sentiments of hon. Cheruiyot. In the formation of the new Ministries, it seems like some projects were put where they do not belong. I do not understand how the stadium is under the Ministry of Lands. This is something that can be streamlined. However, as I speak, the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts is not aware of the existence of that stadium. Two, in response to hon. Waluke’s question, I want to remind him that if you look at the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, more so at the functions of the ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Angwenyi has talked about Kisii, but I thought I talked about the functions of the devolved governments, which include construction of sports facilities within their areas. The budget allocated to the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts is not adequate to enable it to construct stadia in the various parts of the country. It is not adequate. So, it will be difficult to say that we want the Ministry to go round the whole country building stadia in each county and constituency unless, funds are made available to it. Hon. Serem has talked about Moi Sports ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I request to respond to this Statement request on Thursday, next week. view
