• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I also thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama and the fact that she has mentioned Matungulu area. The area Member of Parliament, Hon. Mulwa, is my friend. A lot has changed in the sporting fraternity. It is now national. The traditional areas that produced certain greats have now moved. We have rugby going round the country. We have soccer and others too. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am happy and with the support of the Senate, we can get this done. I said that in as much as it is one stadium in Dandora, we will make sure that moving forward, we can look at Umeme Grounds in Ziwani, Woodley Grounds in Kibra Constituency, Kawangware, Kihumbuini and the rest, to make sure they come to par with the standard that has been set or that is being set. view

If you look at the status of that stadium, no work has been done for the last three years. There are a lot of expensive equipment including public address speakers, sound systems, amplifiers and microphones. None of them has been touched or vandalized. view

• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: This does not stop any investigations or any agency looking into the matter, but we will not throw out the baby and the bath water. The young people of Dandora will and still deserve value for their money and also deserve to be treated as first class citizens. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the longer we take, the more we waste the resources that have already been pumped in, the taxpayer’s money from Nairobi and the rest of the country that is already put in there. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: I thank you for the opportunity. I also want to thank my Committee Members especially Sen. Kihika who accompanied me. Sen. Omanga, Mama Miradi, also came and is also very keen on this matter even if she is not a member of the Committee. Additionally, I thank the rest of the Committee, including my secretariat led by Ms. Mwanate Shaban. The team also had a young man, Kibet Kevin, who was in charge of this issue. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. My reading is that it is not a matter that affects counties, but I stand guided. You could put the question or do it with the others. Thank you. view
