• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the earlier ruling when Dr. Khalwale asked this question, we said that we were to provide signed copies of those who travelled using Government documents. That is what I have done. I have tabled it. That is the true record of the people who travelled to Maputo. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, Dr. Khalwale is raising a very important issue here. You have heard me speak several times that the only way we can put our sports in order is to have clear regulations and framework through which our sports federations operate. It is very unfortunate and I have been consulting with our new Attorney-General who has promised me that he is fast-tracking our Sports Bill which is supposed to address some of these challenges that we have been facing. What happened in this particular case is that the federations affiliate their athletes. So, if your ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all these 396 Kenyans travelled by air, our national carrier. However, the issue raised by Dr. Khalwale is about some two Kenyans, who travelled almost in a private capacity. They were not part and parcel of the delegation. view

• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the list of athletes, our sportsmen and women that I have provided in this House is the official list of people who travelled to Maputo as the Kenyan delegation. If there was any other arrangement, it was not part of what I have provided. view

This is because the procedures that were provided had nothing to do with us as the official Government delegation. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was a flawed process. So, we did not recognize it. We did not put that medal as part of our national tally and that is why when we were awarding the athletes who had won, that was not provided for. That is an issue that can be addressed in another forum as an issue--- view
