• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you know, this House approved the Joint Select Committee on Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The last date was Friday. I expected them to file a report here this afternoon. That is why I was saying that if we are moving from Statements, it therefore means that the Report of the Joint Select Committee is not here.

• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: brought to this House was tailored towards these particular companies which are gambling in this country. It is important for us to come up with a committee to quickly examine existing regulations, so that we can put in place robust regulations and laws to guide gambling in this country. I know the regulations do not exist. view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Anyone between the age of 0 and 150 can gamble right now. A child of about 10 years can gamble and win Kshs6 billion. You know what it means to that person. He can be killed so that the money can be taken away from him. So, we must have regulations. There is no way someone can earn money before the age of 18. Otherwise, that will be child labour.

• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: What we know as foreign exchange has since ceased because we do not know how they will transport this money out of this country. If they are going to send that money to sponsor a club, how do they intend to send it there? Do they have a proforma invoice? Before you send money outside this country, you must have a proforma invoice to show the intended purpose of the money. How do they intend to send Kshs6 billion to Hull City? This is a very serious matter. We should not take it lying low. We are the representatives of ... view

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: the Joint Select Committee that was formed by this House submits its report. If he insists, then our report which we graciously agreed to be deferred until that time should be brought before this because it has precedence. Ours has a timeline, his does not. If that is the general agreement, then we should not see this report in the Order Paper. Thank you. view
