• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to pose a question to the Prime Minister. I appreciate his broad statement this afternoon. Could he indicate to the House the status of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) after the establishment of the county governments? view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. First, let me thank the Mover of this Motion for bringing it. It is a very important Motion in the lives of Kenyans. Our sports activities in this country have created heroes and heroines who have even participated well in the international arena and given our country a better image. Impressive performances have been recorded by our young athletes in various championships. Medals and a lot of money has been won by our young athletes. It is, therefore, important for our Government ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: We have seen our athletes winning medals in the East African championships, continental championships, the world athletic championships and even during the Olympics Games. Our boxers have done well. Some of them are very aggressive. I remember Philip Waruinge and his brother who were the first people to win a medal for Kenya. Philip Waruinge won the fly weight medal and that was important. He ended up being very sickly at home. We have also seen what the late John Orulu and the late Wangila did for our country. They really demonstrated what Kenyans can do in that field. We ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: It is, therefore, important to note that our sportsmen and women have really marketed the name of this country. I would suggest that all the 47 counties should have a stadium. We should provide facilities to the youth of this country so that they can continue to do well. We have also seen what swimming activities have done to our country. The Dunford brothers have done tremendous improvement. Big countries have continued to attract a lot of tourism. For example, the Chinese are known for gymnastics, the Germans for football, the Japanese for wrestling and the British for soccer. They ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is pathetic to recognize our athletes only during national days. We display them during the national days. It is important to recognize them by creating a fund that will cater for their medical care and their families when they grow old. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: It is also important to remember those who are still living by giving them a small piece of land that will serve as motivation to other young and upcoming athletes. We have seen the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports getting coaches for soccer improvement from foreign countries. We have seen training of athletics, which has done so well, being conducted by our own athletes. Local coaches must be recognized and given monetary awards for the good work that they have done for this country. Having a good name will encourage investors to come to our country to invest. We ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I fully support the creation of a fund to cater for the future of our young athletes. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to join the Vice- Chairperson of the Committee in supporting the proposed amendment. The new Constitution requires very high standards of integrity and dignity. Some of the people serving right now will not be able to meet these criteria. Therefore, it would be very important for these people to prepare to leave, and we should recognize their long service in our courts of law. I very strongly support the amendment. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First, I would like to thank the Minister for the manner in which he has introduced the Bill in this House. I wish to indicate that Kenyans have been looking forward to getting a credible judicial service and courts. I think this concern has the best opportunity to be addressed. Credible services, justice and a dependable system has been lacking in this country. That has been caused by those who have been appointed and have not demonstrated any impartiality, competence and humility in ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Minister for the answer that he has given. However, could he also indicate to this House the number of the un- sold vehicles and specify why they have not been bought by Kenyans? view
