• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On 22nd January, 2009, we had a meeting with the President of FIFA. During that meeting, we agreed that a reconciliation team be formed to seek a lasting solution to the wrangles in the management of football in this country. That meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. So, I want to request that I be allowed to issue the Ministerial Statement after we have concluded the discussions during the reconciliation meeting. view
• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, giving any further details might jeopardise the issues to be discussed tomorrow. I might look like we are biased. We, in the Ministry, are not taking sides. We would like to have this meeting. After we complete it, I will issue a Ministerial Statement. Otherwise, we, in the Ministry, are committed to looking for a solution that will bring sanity and order to the management of football, so that we can all enjoy football together with fans from other parts of this country. view

• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Tangaratwet and Cheptarit Youth polytechnics in Mosop Constituency lack enough physical facilities, including classrooms and laboratories, and that they have few Government instructors. (b) In 2007, the Government employed 600 instructors for the youth polytechnics who were deployed in the existing 750 youth polytechnics. Tangaratwet and Cheptarit Youth Polytechnics are among the youth polytechnics that received instructors. Tangaratwet Polytechnic received one instructor while Cheptarit received two instructors. Prior to the employment of the instructors by the Ministry, youth polytechnics had their own staff that were employed by the ... view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as for the absorption of the instructors that are in the youth polytechnics, we have asked them to upgrade their skills, so that when the Public Service Commission advertises positions, they can be considered. So, we are willing to consider them together with the Public Service Commission if they qualify. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, in the Ministry, together with our development partners, are already supporting the instructors through what I would call "in-service training". That is because during the holidays, the lecturers, together with the instructors, go to Kenya Technical Training College (KTTC) to upgrade their skills. So, I think we are already doing something. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we receive the request for that consideration, we October 22, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2933 will consider it along with the others, depending on the availability of funds. As for the visit, we will consider that when we are around that constituency. We want to visit all the others, but I do not want to commit myself to visiting only one particular one. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the financial intermediaries that are working with the youth fund are 28 at the moment. These financial intermediaries are required to facilitate the youth groups to access these funds at an interest rate of 8 percent. They are not supposed to divert or mislead the youth to access their money. If there are cases like that, then the Ministry, which is currently evaluating the performance of the disbursement of these funds, will take that into consideration. The money by the financial intermediaries is for onlending. It is the onlending component of the fund which mainly works through ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that seems to be a loaded question. It is a different Question which I would like to be given and I will prepare the necessary answer. As for the information that has been said to have been declared publicly, I am not aware. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
