Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this important Motion. I urge all Members that this is not a Luo or Suba affair. It is a Kenyan affair. We are really touched as Members of the National Assembly. In any part of Kenya, we have citizens whose lives and livelihoods are not protected and it should be a matter of concern to all of us. It is very unfortunate that the Migingo Island issue has taken very long to be resolved. The Luo community being in the Opposition should not be a reason for ...

Our neighbours have not deployed the police but a special unit of Uganda Defence Forces to Migingo Island to harass our fishermen. At the end of debate of the Motion, the starting point should be to urge the Government to deploy a specialised unit ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I would like to begin by thanking my good friend, Hon. Osotsi, for coming up with this Motion and, by extension, the party which sponsored him to sit in this august House as a nominated Member. I think he deserves that nomination. He has proven why he merited to be given that slot. Lack of sports academies in the country has resulted into our inability as a country to tap into talents among our children and youths. As a country, ...

counties but, because of lack of facilities to enable them to support our children and our youth, they are drawing salaries without carrying out their mandate. Therefore, as I conclude, I would like to urge the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism - as suggested by the Chair - to help us come up with a framework that will help us to provide sustainable funding for the proposed academies in the constituencies. I support the Motion.
