• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier on, I tried to indulge the Minister over this issue. First of all, I want to declare that I have no personal interests in this matter other than being a sport-loving Kenyan and also a Kenyan who is interested in the rule of law. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenyans are very concerned about the way sporting is going under this Minister, because she is refusing to talk and be guided. I remember that during her first two events as the Minister for Youth Affairs and sports, I sat next to her when we met with ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to beg your indulgence. This is a matter of great national importance. I think if we handle it properly, we will do this country right. It has issues of multi-national investments in this country. It has issues of employment. How much tax does Coca-Cola East Africa pay to this country? There are weighty issues, which we must raise. However, I am dealing with this specific letter, then will come back with another clarification. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the letter has the Minister in attendance in the meeting. I want to plead with you to give me a chance just as you gave the other Minister on the Mungiki issue. This issue cannot be rushed unless we want more --- view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is what I am doing. It just happens to be a lengthy issue. Which Standing Order am I breaching, if I may know? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not giving a long story. This requires a basis because the Ministerial Statement was misleading this House in many areas. So, I want to put issues in perspective. At this stage I want a clarification from the Minister. She attended a meeting where the Board sat. Those in attendance include; Mr. Chris Kirubi, Alex Mandisi, Norah Odweso from Coca-Cola East Africa Limited, Peter Muriuki from Nairobi Bottlers Limited, Joe Aketch, Benjamin Sogomo, Prof. William Lagat, Mr. Gordon Oluoch, Jackline Mwendi and Joshua Okuthe. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, arising from the meeting in the morning ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has just said that for the former CEO of the Sports Stadia Management Board (SSMB), Mr. Sam Mwai--- They have information, which she has not brought before the House, that he is working to sabotage the new board. The question is: What procedure did she use to replace him? Table documents! I am sure that she cannot discuss Sam Mwai without bringing evidence to the House. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell us, just for the record, which part of the contract with Coca Cola she invoked to revoke the naming rights? Would she also confirm to the House that her PS, the Commissioner of Sports and the Secretary to the SSMB are her representatives in that Board? Could she also confirm to us that the SSMB, which is under her, advertised for the naming rights in a public Gazette notice in accordance with the law? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The last question that we asked the Minister has been overridden by her saying that there is more than meets the eye to this than a Ministerial Statement. Therefore, I want to ask you to send this matter to the relevant Parliamentary Committee so that Kenyans can know the truth. I kindly besiege you. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This debate is now repetitive. Could I ask the Mover to be called upon to reply? view
