• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Assistant Minister, what will you do to ensure that the unfinished ESP projects are completed by the end of the next financial year? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to start by congratulating my brother, Eng. Gumbo, for a well thought out Motion, which is long overdue. This Motion should have been on the Floor of the House many years back, considering the contribution made by our athletes not just in terms of bringing harmony and unity in the country but also in terms of the contribution they make to the economy. The foreign currency they have brought to this country has contributed immensely towards the growth of our economy. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Athletes are people who have done very well. They occupy a very special position in our society; as heroes. Indeed, we have been told by my brother, Eng. Gumbo, about names which have been on the arena for all the years since Independence. You can see that the contribution made by our athletes has been so wonderful and should have been recognised by the country. If you look at what is happening in our neighbouring countries like Ethiopia, where we have athletes who have been competing with our athletes, you will find that that country looks after those people so ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the people we talk about as having done so well are people who this country has not done much to build, even in terms of identifying the talent in those people. You find that they have run on their own, and they gradually surfaced in the athletics arena. What we are saying is that the country should set up funds and put in place structures to develop these people, who have done us proud. Every time there is a serious athletics meeting in the world, you find that our flag goes up. Indeed, these people have ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: What I would like to say is that we need to set up this fund immediately, which should continue attracting funding in every financial year, to make sure that it caters for the needs of these people right from research, as it has been said, and building up of stadia in various high altitude areas like Iten, where athletes had to source funds on their own to try and build a stadium for themselves. So, we are saying that the creation of the proposed fund is long overdue. We support it. Therefore, we urge the Government to move fast and ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my brother here would want to say something. He wants two minutes of my time, but I have not finished what I have to say. So, let me say that when we think of these athletes, the country should, indeed, look after them and ensure that it caters for them and classifies them as top class heroes. In terms of numbers, you will appreciate that they are very few. So, it will not be very expensive for the Government to take care of them. Looking at what they bring to the country, if we were to ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I would like to say that this is a worthwhile Motion. We need to support it and urge the Government to move fast and ensure that the proposed fund is put in place. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering that the Assistant Minister has allocated so much money to the ESP in respect to education and that you had budgeted to use Kshs400 million to supervise that programme to its success; considering the fact that it is not being supervised effectively today, who will be held accountable when it does not succeed because of lack of supervision? view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Concerning the Salgaa stretch of this particular road, the Assistant Minister mentioned that they are in the process of acquiring land for parking. They have already passed that stage. Is it in order for him to say that there are now acquiring the land when they have already started the process, and they are at the stage of starting to build the parking? view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that Banita Settlement Scheme in Rongai was bought by the Government to settle squatters living in Makongeni location and, if so, what the value of the 16,000-acre land is. (b) why the Government cancelled the first survey works and commissioned another using the same government surveyors, and why the allotments done in 2002 were cancelled, leaving out some of the previous beneficiaries; and, (c) whether he could also provide a list of the beneficiaries of the first and second allotments, explain why a number of deserving persons were replaced in ... view
