• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding Eng. Gumbo’s questions, we have already submitted to the Cabinet a refined Sports Bill. Relevant efforts are being made for this Bill, which is very comprehensive and going to renew the way sports is managed in this country, to be enacted. It includes the leadership, financing and marketing of sports. We are looking forward to Members of Parliament supporting this Bill, which will be introduced, so that we can all collectively make a difference. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, the Member asked whether we are in contact with FIFA. We have been in contact with FIFA in the last one month. We have spoken to them directly. We have corresponded with them. They have indicated willingness to support the Ministry’s efforts in the next three months to carry out democratic elections with grassroots participation, so that there is a legitimacy and ownership of sports in this country. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have already indicated in the Statement, in terms of the coaches, we have initiated a process in every constituency by appointment of sport officers for all the constituencies. A few that are remaining will be rolled out in this financial year, so that at the district level and constituency level, we have somebody accountable for training. In that regard, we are also initiating three youth empowerment centres in every constituency linked to ploytechniques, and their mandate will include training of coaches at the grassroots level. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. The new dawn and Constitution clearly requires that when a Cabinet Minister ignores procedures, there cannot be blame-shifting. The new law, among other things, says that responsibility for the Government is demarcated. I say this with a heavy heart because there are also human beings beyond the borders of this Parliament. We must stop this behaviour of instigating issues that isolate other people. For Paragraph 76 to be deleted and other sections including those that cover long serving civil servants in that Ministry to be left intact, it is the ... view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice to those who are supporting this Report and also to congratulate the two individuals who have benefitted from a process that is transparent. One thing that is clear is the improved role of Parliament in processing this recruitment transparently, covered live by media, with issues being expressed publicly. One lesson that is coming out very clearly is that, we are talking about a Judiciary that is on trial from the public opinion whether we are talking informally or whether we are doing deliberations. But the fact that there are ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Many at times when issues are brought here, there is lobbying. It is not bad! But use your experience. Even when individuals are besieged over issues about public office, it is time to have ethnic parleys. Consequently, we convert the National Assembly or our own class as politicians into an ethnic gathering and become captives of a medieval, ethnic, dialogue and negotiations. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that time has come when people must stop this blatant, shameless behavior of contacting me because I am born in Nyeri; contacting you because you are from Kisumu; contacting you because you are from Meru or because you come from the Rift Valley. This very shameless thing that is being watched by our children on television every evening – holding press conferences – because “our men” are under siege or because “our community” is being finished, must come to an end! Mr. Speaker, Sir, there should be that belief and trust that individuals can ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the further amendment by hon. Ethuro. As much as we want to emphasize on experience, we have also to deal with the reality in this country; that sometimes experience may not always be positive. We need to look outside the box, that there are a lot of young and vibrant intellectuals as has been very well exhibited by my year-mate hon. Abdikadir Mohammed and, junior in college, hon. Namwamba. I am just making a quick arithmetic here. To finish university with a first degree, you are above 23 or 24 years ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I note the contents of this Report. In general terms, the recommendations are very good. My Ministry will take into consideration these recommendations taking into cognizance the fact that there is also initiative from the Ministry in conjunction with the various other Government departments to mainstream some of these concerns. view
