• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should set up this fund to ensure our athletes retire honourably. We need to respect and recognise them in their retirement. With this kind of fund, we could conduct research with a view to improving their performance. At the moment, we do not know what ails this very important sector. I believe this Fund should have been set up yesterday to address challenges facing our athletes. view

• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you did hear the Assistant Minister say that they set aside Kshs20 million to be used to assist in the monitoring of the progress of these projects on the ground. The client is the District Education Officer (DEO) on behalf of the Ministry of Education. The fact is that the DEO is not able to physically inspect these projects on the ground. Why would the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance find it difficult to ensure that Kshs8 billion is properly supervised by allocating Kshs416 million? view
