• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for being at the forefront in ensuring that political parties are accountable in the use of public funds. We hoped to have tabled this report by now. As you know, we had a constitutional deadline to clear the 2013/2014 audited reports. I assure the Leader of the Majority Party and the House that the matter is before us as a priority. We hope to conclude it in the next couple of weeks. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party. view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Title of the Kenya Roads Bill was amended to include the Kenya National Urban Roads Authority while the Title which has just been read out only talks about the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Kenya National Secondary Roads Authority (KeNSRA). Will it be right for our records to have a title which does not represent the Bill? Hon. (Eng.) Mahamud will agree with me that there was reintroduction of the Kenya National Urban Roads Authority but that is not what has been read. The Third Reading should be repeated to take into account the ... view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 33(1), I wish to seek leave to move an adjournment of the House for the purpose of congratulating our Kenyan world-conquering athletes for their sterling performance in the just concluded 2016 Olympic Games held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, during the championship, Kenyan athletes garnered a total of 13 medals. They were six gold medals, six silver medals and one bronze medal. Those medals were won despite facing a myriad of challenges such as unsubstantiated doping allegations against our athletes and logistical ... view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On victory and when you sometimes win so often, it is difficult to appreciate what you have achieved. But, it is said: “Victory is sweetest when you have known defeat.” I have been following the Olympics closely. I was very impressed that when Fiji, a small island nation, won their first Olympic gold medal in the seven’s rugby team, their Prime Minister, Mr. Frank Bainimarama, declared a national holiday to celebrate that achievement. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, life’s real failure and tragedy is when you do not realize how close you are to success when you give up. Our athletes ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: lethargy, incompetence, appalling ineptitude and corruption perpetuated by our athletics managers and it should be severely punished. As I conclude, I want to single out the great Kenyan athlete Mr. Kipchoge Keino. He is no doubt a foremost legend of Kenya, East Africa and the world as a whole. However, at 76 years, Mr. Keino must now accept that he must hand over the management of athletics to younger Kenyans. That is because, clearly, he is not in charge of National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK), if what we saw in Rio is what is happening in NOCK. If that ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we do not have anything in Kenya called “the Institute of Engineers of Kenya”. We have something called “the Institution of Engineers of Kenya”. It keeps appearing in our Bills and laws but it is wrong. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this mistake keeps appearing everywhere. We do not have anything in Kenya called “the Institute of Engineers of Kenya”. We have something called “the Institution of Engineers of Kenya”. Those are different things. view
