• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know how Hon. Savula has sneaked in. On the outset, I support the creation of the Fund but my main worry is how the money will trickle down to the sportspersons in the constituencies. Before, I go to my main concern, I wish Hon. Wamuchomba would support this Bill. She can bring an amendment during the Third Reading on how the people who swindle sportsmen and women can return their money. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: On my side, there is a point saying that the board has a right to get into partnerships with various organisations. I will bring an amendment that the board ought to get into a partnership with the NG-CDF boards so that this money goes down to the constituency. We do not want a Fund that is only operated in Nairobi. We want one that is going to reach the people on the ground. Members of Parliament are the ones who represent people on the ground. So, I will bring an amendment saying that a certain percentage of the funds collected, ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: As you know, if this money goes the NG-CDF way, it will enable us to support sporting facilities, talent academies and schools. We will also select talented children from various schools and facilitate them to reach national levels. In as much as I support the Bill, I will therefore, bring an amendment so that this board can go into partnership with other boards like the NG-CDF Board. Through the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) they will set guidelines on how the money will trickle down to the constituency level. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am concerned because you did not register my interest in the previous Bill. I do not know what I should do, because my machine was already showing I had interest. So, I did not contribute on the previous Motion and I do not know how I am supposed to address this. view

• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Member for Mandera East. I support your Motion although with reservations. I am in the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. I am looking at this as a big opportunity where our youths can get jobs. We have the Ajira programme where the Ministry is training 200 people per constituency. In fact, if I am given a chance I will build around 20 ICT hubs in my constituency. This is because I believe this will be a game changer in terms of getting jobs for the youth. The problem is that in some areas in the country ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to ask Question No. 129/2018 to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. a) What is the progress of construction of Gichiengo-Kijabe Road? b) Was the road constructed to acceptable standards? c) Are there plans to ensure the contractor repairs the road before handing it over to the Ministry as stipulated in the standard contracts? d) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure contractors undertake projects as per set standards, and are there plans to blacklist contractors who fail to implement projects within the set standards? view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My first Question also goes to the CS for Labour and Social Protection. The Government designed Kshs2,500 for the elderly. view
