• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: (a) I said that I will table the answer, but I will go through some of the major budgetary items. They are allowances which were paid for 18 days at the rate of between US$125 and US$250. Estimates were put at Kshs103,423,697. The actual expenditure on that came to Kshs93,386,900. The other major expenditure was accommodation in the games village at Maputo for athletes and team officials and managers, which was estimated at Kshs27,613,440, but the actual expenditure was Kshs18,705,000.

• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: (b) Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have also tabled the list of all those who travelled to Maputo and their respective roles. Hon. Members may wish to note that this list is categorized into 25 clusters determined by roles. We had athletes and coaches numbering 57. The other disciplines were badminton, basketball, boxing, canoeing, chess, cycling, handball, judo, karate, netball, sports for the disabled, swimming, lawn tennis, tae kwondo, table tennis, triathlon, volleyball and beach volleyball. There was also the medical team which is shown on the list. These were basically the doctors, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. We also had ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I was a member of this delegation and I have provided a list of all the people who were officially in Maputo. We have said that all those people were accommodated. Some were accommodated in athletes’ village or accredited hotels. As it is the procedure, when you go for international events of that nature, we normally pay and that is why I put here accommodation for the games in the village in Maputo for athletes and team officials on item number two which was estimated to cost Kshs27,613,000 and we paid Kshs18 ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, the receipts and details can be availed to the Member of Parliament so that they can be scrutinized under the relevant Committee. That is what I was begging so that my accounting officers can bring them. We have already paid for some of those expenses. So, it is just an issue of the Chair ruling that my Accounting Officer sees the relevant committee to provide further evidence. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to this Question, I was to table the accounts and which I have already done. If you need supporting evidence, the Government Financial Regulations give clear guidelines on how this can be obtained. I will be asking for your guidance on this issue. I do not know whether I was supposed to carry all the vouchers and bring them here to the House. I thought that it can be directed so that the Accounting Officer can provide them. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member may not have heard me clearly. I said that the rates were paid from US$125 minimum to a maximum of US$250 depending on who was being paid. I provided the list of those who were being paid. The rates are different. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only well-wisher that I am aware of was the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) which provided the Kenya National Sports Council with a donation of Kshs1 million which is completely outside this one. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the first time during the 10th All African Games there was netball for men as an event but after accreditation of our team, when we reached Maputo, some countries from North Africa who were the main players in this game had pulled out for some reasons unknown to us. The terms and conditions for a sport to be considered an event is that it must be played by five countries. In this case, there was only Kenya and Maputo. So, we had to make a decision to bring these men back to the country ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were games for ladies. They won a bronze medal which means they played. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is any evidence that Joseph Njogu did not travel, then the hon. Member is welcomed to give me that information. However, as far as I have interrogated this list, these are the people who travelled to Maputo. view
