• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Petition by Hon. Musimba is important. I remember in the last Parliament we did work on the Wildlife Act. That Act provides for an elaborate mechanism of compensating people who have suffered attacks from wild animals. What is perhaps lacking is the mechanism to implement that Act fully so that compensation is done swiftly and appropriately. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of wild animals attacking people is not just confined to Ukambani as it were; it is all over. In fact, on the shores of Lake Victoria, it is a big problem. Our people are being killed every day by rhinos, crocodiles, hippos and snakes. Therefore, the Committee chaired by my friend, Hon. Kareke Mbiuki, needs to seize this matter and deal with it expeditiously. view

• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I am very proud of the work the Committee has done. The Committee on Delegated Legislation has long been made to appear simply as a conveyor belt for Regulations emanating from the Executive. Therefore, the bold move by the Committee ably chaired by Hon. Shollei is laudable. It is laudable in the sense that sports, arts and social development issues are important. Sports specifically has the potential of not only empowering our people economically, but is also a vehicle the country can market itself globally. But for a long time, we ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: For a long time, Kenya has been known for matters sports. Indeed, again, for a long time, the sports sector has been neglected totally. In fact, the other day I was impressed when listening to President Uhuru Kenyatta lamenting about people craving for results and pushing their children to get good results in school yet every person is endowed differently talent wise. This country has shown that men and women can excel in sports and succeed in life. Therefore, it is important the country puts in more emphasis in addressing the sports sector and support those who participate in sporting ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: It is also unfortunate that when you talk about sports in this country, what comes to mind is corruption. It has been proven that many people get involved in sports management with a specific agenda of reaping unfairly. In the fullness of time, the House needs to guide the country in putting in place mechanisms and systems to ensure that sports activities and sports in general are not misused by a few connected people who misuse them for their benefit at the expense of the country. So, sports still have a lot of potential if tapped and can take the ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: What is the way forward? I suggest that the relevant Cabinet Secretary and the State Department take it up to ensure that the process of putting in place the Regulations is reopened or restarted and open to stakeholders to give their views so that at the end of the day, we can come up with Regulations that are watertight and that will help enhance the sports sector.

• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: encourage and thank my colleague and friend Hon. (Dr.) Victor Munyaka. He has really made a lot of progress in guiding his Committee in addressing sports issues. In fact, it was important that the House created a committee responsible for matters sports. Hon. Victor Munyaka has been equal to the task. We need to encourage him to continue in that spirit so that we do not move forward as a country while ignoring very critical sectors which can help the country turn around. view
