• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this very important Bill. We all know agriculture is the backbone of our economy. Agriculture here includes livestock keeping. It is important because if you look at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, you will realize that it is replacing the Veterinary Surgeons, Cap.366, which provide for regulations of practice of veterinary medicine. This Bill is now setting up a mechanism to broaden what the earlier Act had contemplated to do. This one is now talking about regulation of activities of veterinary surgeons and veterinary para-professionals. ... view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) Is the Minister aware of the increased wave of insecurity in Vihiga County over the last one month? (b) What urgent measures is he taking to stem the dangerous trend? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for giving information about the cycles. It shows that, at least, the Government gives out medicine to the facilities in the districts. However, could he assure us that they have enough capacity to monitor this? I think the problem is having information in the head office on what they have done, but not having capacity to monitor what is actually going on down there. Could he assure us that the Ministry is getting realistic information about what is happening on the ground? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion because a sporting nation is a healthy nation. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I remember that when we were young, we had people such as Joe Kadenge. In racing, we had the famous Jogindar Singh. I support this Motion because we learn so much through sporting events. There are talents that the young people will learn. There are a number of things that we emulate through the sporting activities. We have sportsmen in Kenya, but the Government has not been assisting them. However, in the recent times, the Government is half-heartedly recognising the importance of sports in this country. We have had young men and women who do certain ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: We also had good footballers such as Joe Kadenge and Elijah Lidonde. When a Minister was replying to a Question in this House, he said that the reason why we do not do well in soccer is because the people who manage it are not themselves players. Somebody alluded to the fact that the Kambas are the coaches and the players are Luos and Luhyas. We are failing because there is no connection. This happens because we do not appreciate sportsmen and sportswomen. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is through this kind of incentive that we shall be able to motivate our people to take more interest in sports. The few sportsmen who have gone out of the country have also earned the country great honour. One time, I was buying something in a shop in Florida. When I said I come from Kenya, everybody in that shop was interested in what I was doing. They said I came from a country where there are great athletes. So, it is a great honour to the country and to us, as Kenyans. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for people to compete in sports and succeed, they must have high level of discipline. This is something we can all emulate. We should instil discipline in our youths through sports. We have also earned foreign exchange through sports. We can also promote tourism through sports and games. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is just regrettable that the people who earned this country honour; people like Mr. Kadenge and the late Elijah Lidonde have not been honoured. Mr. Kadenge is currently engaged in a taxi business. He is over 80 years old. This is something we should not encourage in this country. That is why I support this Motion. I would like to ask the Mover of the Motion to ensure that this Motion does not only benefit just current athletes, but even the retired sportsmen and sportswomen. Currently, we have problems in the AFC. The only people ... view
