Mr. Speaker, Sir, the message that should be sent heavily, consistently and clearly is that no one is indispensable or beyond reproach. That pertains more importantly to Members of the Government where I sit. When there is a question of audit, probe or that there is an issue that has galvanized the nation, we do not wish it away. We should not push it to sidelines or generate sideshows. This being a very important matter, I felt very strongly that a mischievous amendment as tabled before the House to exclusively deal with one office while subjecting all the other offices ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I conclude by saying that even as we sit in the Government, we must not have unity of impunity or collectivity of impunity. A word of caution is that we must not agree to be rolled out and be proxy to issues that alienate the country. This is not Kenya of before 4th August. You may regret why you passed this Constitution but this is the panacea or the solution. This is what Kenyans were yearning for. The Katiba that we passed will whip you and make some of us happier because we may be complaining when ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to state the following:- It is true that football standards in Kenya have sunk to an all time low given the current FIFA rankings, where Kenya is placed at No.114. Football Kenya is currently managing soccer in Kenya as a private company, limited by shares. Unfortunately, that is the body that is recognized by FIFA. In the recent past, there have been complaints about Football Kenyaâs inability to manager soccer in this country. Several stakeholders have continuously complained of being left out in the management of sports, like soccer, hence the persistent wrangles ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, reports of disharmony amongst some of our players have been attributed to the head of delegation during the teamâs last outing to Guinea Bissau. The teamâs coach and the players have indicated that there does not exist any disharmony, and the two players who were mentioned as having disharmony actually enjoy very close relationship on the pitch and off the pitch. On measures that we are taking, I have mentioned that we are putting in place a very structured formula to ensure that we bring soccer to a stable, concrete and enduring structure that will enable management ...
