• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Transport with respect to the runway that has been blocked at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA since morning. In the Statement he should tell us the circumstances under which the runway has been blocked. He should also inform us whether there is only one runway at the JKIA. He should also cover the issue of lighting of the runway not only at the JKIA but also at the Kisumu International Airport and Mombasa International Airport because we have been having problems with ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. Teachers are respected all over the world except in Kenya. Teachers in Kenya are given a very raw deal. Health workers are given a very raw deal yet these are our driving forces. It is a shame that the President of Rwanda is asking for 10,000 teachers. If we cannot pay our teachers here, let them go to Rwanda because that is where they have been respected and they will be paid more than here. Here in this country, we are treating them as beggars; as those who have ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The Treasury, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education have everything at their fingertips. They go on expensive trips yet they cannot pay this money. The role of the Treasury after the Budget is over. If this is budgeted for, they should pay. There is no issue as to whether they are going to ask the Attorney-General, after 12 months. Furthermore, even teachers who invigilated national examinations have not been paid. The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) withheld the payment for teachers who invigilated the exams. The exams took place, the results are out, the children are now ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, the Minister was asked a similar Question and the Speaker allowed him until Tuesday to come up with a comprehensive answer. view

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports:- (a) whether he could confirm that the tender for the construction of an ultra modern sports academy at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, at a cost of Kshs. 1.6 billion was advertised and awarded and, if so, when the works will commence; (b) whether he could also confirm that the Ministry committed to spend Kshs400 million to improve Mombasa Municipal Stadium, Kirigiti, Kipchoge Keino Stadia and Mogoma Community Sports Ground in Longisa and, if so, state why no stadium in Nyanza, Eastern and North Eastern provinces was included. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the answer. However, he says in part (a) that the tender is in progress and he continues to say that Kshs400 million was not the figure. This amount of Kshs400 million was announced in October 2010 by the Minister himself and at that time it was announced that Kshs1.6 million would be spent for Kasarani International Sports Center and Kshs100 million would be spent for Kirigiti; Kshs130 million would be spent for Kipchoge Keino in Eldoret; Kshs79 million would be spent for Mombasa Municipal Stadium and Kshs6 million for ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the four years that I have been here, I see for the first time that Modagashe Stadium in Mandera has even been mentioned. I also see in the report that some work is happening in Kisumu Stadium. I know that FIFA has a public partnership with the City Hall. I have written to the Minister a couple of times about the Kisumu Lawn Tennis Court and Kshs2 million has allegedly been spent on something that is not on the ground. On the basis of what I am saying, the Minister has continually stated that he ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has just told us that he has provided all the information we have asked for and, yet, he clearly stated earlier in his answer that he has no figures for the stadia in Nyanza, Eastern and North Eastern. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: He started looking through his papers to give us the figures. So, he has not actually answered the Question exhaustively. So, I would like to put it to the Minister that he has not answered the Question as asked, but he insists that he has. view
