• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(ii)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the re-naming of the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani to Safaricom Sports Centre. Hon. Speaker, the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani is a historical national heritage that Kenyans hold in great esteem. Any attempt to change the historical names of presidents we hold dear such as this has major implications on the gains that we have made over the years as a Republic. Hon. Speaker, whereas corporate sponsorship for major firms ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: I think the response from the Vice-Chair is in order, but I want to say this: This is a matter of national importance and, if it is possible, I would like to urge the Vice-Chair of the Committee to come up with an assurance that the re-naming will be reversed. That is a very serious issue. Otherwise, what it means is that I can today, as hon. Limo, go to the management of that stadium, give Kshs60 million and rename my name. So, it is a serious issue. I want to say that hon. Sambili did well when she reversed ... view

• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Today I also join my colleagues in congratulating the Committee for doing a wonderful job. For a while now we are used to issues touching on finances and today we are happy that we are talking about animals. The issue of the institute is a timely move because we need to move this country to innovation and we cannot innovate if we do not have a strong institute. In the world now there is something called e-tourism. So, very soon we might actually run at a loss if we do not innovate. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this important debate. Today, we are making history in this country because we are empowering two important sections of our society – women and youth. We know that those are two key groups in our society which have not been empowered for a long time. So, these Regulations, which are going to govern the most important Fund that was promised by the Jubilee Government, are very important and we have to support them. It is important to note that the funding that was provided ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: registered youth and women groups are allowed to apply for funding. Insisting on the six months clause is retrogressive because only a few groups will qualify. So, I will also move an amendment for the removal of that requirement in the Regulations. The Temporary Deputy Speaker, I urge this House that we bring a lot of harmony as we form the Committees. I know that the Regulations target specific areas but I am saying that we must reduce bureaucracies in that Fund. Therefore, we must also ensure that we reduce the number of civil servants who are going to be ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I believe I am speaking on the amendment to Regulation 13. However, I wish to withdraw my amendment to that Regulation. The objective of my amendment was to bring harmony because it is impractical to have two levels--- view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I am just explaining. So, what is the problem? The objective was to bring harmony between the National Assembly Member and the CWR so that we do not attract attention from the county government. This is a National Government Fund. So, I withdraw my amendment. view
