• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I am sorry Mr. Speaker, Sir. I said that I am just from starting a match in Mathare where there was a Juala that has been made by the youth of this country showing the potential that our young people have. So, I would like to tell this House that I am not the person that has been described in the newspapers. I would like them to ask me questions. Let no one put words in my mouth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to explain myself. Last time when we had a meeting, I was not given ... view

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, prayers are important. In response to part “b” of the Question, we are willing to support all teams. The problem is the funding levels, which are not sufficient. However, we will do our best to support them. We are willing to share the little resources that we have with teams from various federations. So, we will support them, if we can, when the requests get to the Ministry. I want to confirm that we are willing to support the development of all sports, especially football, in this country. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for those comments because we are committed to partnership. As the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, we are talking with Coca Cola Company. So, let no one take advantage and say that this Minister is not committed to public-private partnership. Other corporations are also welcome to support our young people. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 5th February, 2009, I stood here and said that I had formed a reconciliation committee to try and get the two wrangling groups that had been running football in this country to come to their senses and let the youth of this country play football and, if possible, manage it. With regard to the AFC leopards, I want to beg them to come to their senses and give an opportunity to young people, who are very talented, just as I said about Peter, who manufactured the juala that got to the UN. As for the hon. ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to truly thank the hon. Member, who is my “brother”, for that suggestion. I am willing to open an account into which we, hon. Members, can donate what we can, so that we support our team. I want to appreciate the suggestion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I will go to my car and bring the juala that was made by the boy called “Peter”. Let this day be a day that we, as hon. Members of this House, will go out of our way to support our young people in practice. I am ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I answer this Question, I would like to apologise to the House and the hon. Member for Garsen for not being able to answer this Question last week on 10th September, 2009. I would like to confirm that the Ministry was aware of this Question and made arrangements to have one of the Assistant Ministers to answer it but, unfortunately, the said Assistant Minister got some urgent message or a personal problem and as such, was not around to answer it when it was called out twice. Further, I would like to confirm to this ... view
