• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry to interrupt my senior. He was making a very able point but, in view of the fact that there is a general consensus particularly with the inclusion of what we had lost, would I be in order to request you to call upon the Mover to respond in accordance with Standing Order No.95? view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank hon. Korir, recognising the fact that my constituency has the largest number of athletes. There are a number of training bases for athletes in my constituency. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to thank him sincerely for bringing this Motion to the House. It would have been done much better in terms of adding “meat” to what the athletes would want, having petitioned me a number of times. Nevertheless, I support it. If accorded a chance, sportsmen and sportswomen will improve their lives and boost our economy. It is clear that this Government has recognised political and economic diplomats. However, it has missed out in terms of recognising sports diplomats. We are asking the Jubilee Government--- view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Gumbo is my good friend. I hope you will add me some more time for the interruption from hon. Gumbo, which was not diplomatic. I was talking about the issuance of diplomatic passports to sportsmen and sportswomen. I urge the Government that, instead of issuing diplomatic passports to the governors – who do not contribute much to this economy – they give sports passports, which are diplomatic in nature; to sportsmen and sportswomen, so that they can be accountable. We know that once we give them diplomatic passports stamped “Sports Person”, they will be ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, globally, sportsmen and sportswomen have contributed immensely to the economies of their countries and the wellbeing of their families. If we all support this Motion, which I do--- view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for saving me from the Member from Kisumu Central. I was merely suggesting that governors do not contribute as much resources as the athletes who, in terms of foreign exchange, contribute immensely to this country. I support this Motion and as the Jubilee Government has clearly stated in its Manifesto (Technical hitch) view

• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I have been struggling quite a lot because the designers of this equipment did not take into account that they would have people as long as myself and Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry. But I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to move here. view

• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. May I, on behalf of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, take this opportunity to thank hon. Members who have contributed to this debate. We have taken their sentiments, particularly of those who have indicated that they are very unhappy with the process which the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Board has undertaken in the past, particularly with regard to women whom they have not taken into account. We will be having a retreat, as a Committee, with the board members sometime at the end of this month, and we will convey ... view
