• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: In fact, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is now ongoing. As hon. Members may know, we recently posted specific officials – not view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again to repeat what I said earlier, we are taking the following steps. One, we are going to employ additional instructors for the existing polytechnics and priority is being given to polytechnics that have actually also admitted more students and, thus, have more demand for instructors. Also, to advise hon. Members that polytechnics built in their constituencies should be duly registered by the Ministry through the District Youth Officer who exists in their constituencies/districts. That will give an opportunity for those polytechnics that are lying out of the mainstream recognition by the Ministry to also ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can assure this House that fairness and justice will be done to existing youth polytechnics which have been duly registered with legitimate boards of governors and with the requisite number of students that will make the demand be met by my Ministry. It is also good to inform this House and to request hon. Members, as I answer this question, to put more focus on the youth polytechnics – not as the old village polytechnics – but as a new medium of upgrading even Form Four qualifiers with grades “d”, “c” or even “b” ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, through the Kenya Technical Training Institute here in Nairobi, we have been upgrading the skills of the instructors in the polytechnics who have not had the minimum grades so as for them to be employed by the Public Service Commission. We are engaged in an effort to upgrade the capacities of instructors in existing polytechnics so that they may have the ability to pass interviews and be employed permanently by the Government through Public Service Commission. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, 28th October, 2010, the Member for Machakos Town, Dr. Munyaka, rose on a point of order and sought a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports on one, the circumstances under which football fans died and others were injured as they waited to enter Nyayo Stadium to watch a match between Gor Mahia and the AFC Leopards football clubs. Two, what plans the Ministry has to assist victims with burial expenses and treatment for the injured. Three, he wanted to know the Government position on the recent ban by Football Kenya ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Eng. Gumbo referred to a case of 2004. An official is alleged to have stolen and, therefore, the case is in court. I fear that, that maybe subjudice. However, in concurrence with the spirit of the new Constitution, that is a very serious allegation. If somebody is charged of theft and fraud as a criminal charge, then as a Ministry, we will have to answer that. I undertake to look into that matter. I will consult with my legal department and by Wednesday next week I will be able to respond on what course of action ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Karua asked what steps we are taking to safeguard security in the future. I just want to refer to Gazette Notice No.180 of 2002. As we wait for the probe and also answering this in conjunction with the supplementary question by Dr. Munyaka that this may have been caused because of mismanagement and laxity, the Sports Stadia Management Board, among other roles, is supposed to determine competitive charges for the use of sports facilities in Kenya. It is also supposed to collect fees and charges accruing from the use of sports facilities. Further, it is ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, without pre-emptying the probe that has been ordered by His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister, it is worth noting that if Nyayo Stadium had a company or stakeholders and in conjunction with the City Council of Nairobi, working together to improve corporate management and safeguard issues that are basic like security, safety and ticketing, perhaps this disaster would not have happened. Therefore, my Ministry has instructed the Sports Stadia Management Board to rise up to its full mandate as gazetted and passed by this House in the year 2002. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, Dr. Munyaka asked what action we will take against the Football Kenya Limited (FKL). As I mentioned, I am happy that I am making this Statement in the presence of the Rt. hon. Prime Minister. We are looking forward to the fullest support from the Office of the Rt. hon. Prime Minister and the Office of the President because, FKL and others who masquerade as managers or leaders of soccer in this country have defrauded the people of Kenya. If we get that political support, I can assure you that Dr. Otuoma is leading a ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very clear to the House and the country, which is watching this live on the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), that it is not Mr. George Nyamweya because he has not shown interest in this matter. It is Mr. Manson Nyamweya. view
