• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: population and if we could be able to fund and engage all the youths across the country, we will not need to put a lot of funding to prisons and even to security activities because the youth will already be occupied and there will be less crime in the country view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The country was actually developing five African Nations Championship stadia. Kasarani Sports Complex and Nyayo National Stadium were among them and seven other regional stadia. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts last year, most of those stadia are still ongoing and are not even complete. So, we are not even in a position to hold serious international sporting activities. So, generally, we urge the Government to put more emphasis in supporting the infrastructure of sporting activities. We are also aware that Kenya is very famous with rugby and athletics. We also want to promote other sporting activities. I know, Hon. Temporary ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and its membership together with the Members of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism for the work they did during the budget cycle. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism oversees three spending agencies, which include the Department of Sports, State Department of Heritage and the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife. Despite challenges of delay in disbursement of funds by the National Treasury, the agencies have recorded good performance. This is attested by the high absorption rates and the reduced number of pending bills therein. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Given the current goal of Government to implement the Big Four Agenda, the Committee is pleased to inform the House that tourism, culture and sports are major enablers of the enormous agenda. Their activities generate income with which food security, universal healthcare, boosting the manufacturing sector and affordable housing can be implemented. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: In the Financial Year 2017/2018, the sector experienced huge budget cuts of up to 75 per cent in the Supplementary Estimates I and II. This has adversely affected the service delivery in the agencies. Most projects stalled and most bills were left pending. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: In the State Department for Sports, the budgetary requirement for the Financial Year 2018/2019 totaled Kshs5,638,900,000 and Kshs1,745,300,000 for Recurrent and Development Expenditure, respectively. However, the budgetary provision for the recurrent and development expenditure currently stands at Kshs1.5 billion and Kshs525 million respectively. This shortfall in allocation is likely to occasion pending bills. As it exists today, the Department of Sports has a pending bill of Kshs1.119 billion due to the projects for African Nations Championship (CHAN) stadia and regional stadia. This has an adverse effect on completion of those stadia which are very necessary for sports in Kenya. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: For the State Department for Heritage, in the Financial Year 2018/2019, it has been allocated a total of Kshs3.799,900,000 which comprises of Kshs2,948,300,000 recurrent expenditure and Kshs851,600,000 development expenditure. This is against the requirement of Kshs9,219,200,000 of which Kshs5,729,800,000 is required for recurrent expenditure and Kshs3,489,400,000 for development expenditure. This shortfall is also likely to occasion delay in the service delivery and timely implementation of projects in that Department. Recently, the Ministry of Tourism was lumped together with wildlife sector. In this Ministry, the Committee oversees one programme known as Tourism Promotion and Development. The resource requirement for this programme ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to debate this Bill. The creation of this Authority is long overdue. During the 10th Parliament, Hon. Mutula Kilonzo Senior was the Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development and we visited Machakos. We had a public function where we sensitised the people on the importance of Nairobi metropolitan and the developments which would come with that programme. Unfortunately, I do not know what went wrong because the programme appeared to have died. I want to thank those who brought this Bill, so that we can bring sanity in our transport ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Two weeks ago, we had traffic gridlock along Mombasa Road towards Machakos for around two days because of poor management of our transport system. There are many other areas where we have serious traffic jams. We know the costs and losses which affect Kenyans due to traffic jams. The Central Business District (CBD) is suffocated because the road network which exists today was there when we had very few vehicles on the roads. Currently, we have thousands of vehicles in the city, but they are still struggling to utilise the same network. Because of the human pressure and traffic in ... view
