• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise because we are not able to tell whether the TSC has gone beyond doing the interdiction and taken the teacher to court or the teacher has sought some opinion from the court. This is not very clear. Can the Chairperson clarify what the position is? We thought the TSC should have been the one to pursue this. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect to Sen. Karaba who is a good friend, it is very important for responses to be very precise, so that we are able to ask questions. I tend to think that his response is unnecessarily long. Could he try to actually condense that information, so that the Members can quickly grasp and ask for clarifications in good time? view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the response from the Vice Chairperson of the Committee, I feel there are quite a number of areas that have not been sufficiently addressed, particularly whether there is sufficient financing arrangements in place and secondly, why there has been serious delay. The Vice Chairperson has not been able to address these two questions which are critical to the completion of this project. I think she needed to do that. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect to my very good friend, Sen. Karaba, he has been a high school principal for many years.

• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that the statement sought by Sen. Murungi talks of promotion of indigenous languages in schools, if we got it right. Now, the Committee Chair is talking about the TSC and so on. Is he in order to constantly mislead this House? Policy issues are discussed at the Ministry level. This is not a matter that requires many things. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Which are the indigenous languages? Indigenous language is mother tongue! view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Do you want me to continue? view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: I am listening to you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying there exists at the Ministry level a policy that says indigenous languages can be taught in schools. To a certain level, these things have been developed unless he really does not want to get the information or he is not getting it right. His constant delay is causing an unnecessary delay in this House. He is not giving us the information rightly. That is my understanding. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I honestly wanted to raise this one when my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was right here when he was contributing. Honestly, he has done a very good presentation, but I feel that the last bit is a bit contradictory. The Motion in a sense is not asking for deployment of troops today; it is actually urging the Government to develop a structured engagement. I think we will be missing the point if we do not address the gist of this Motion as it is. He has really given some worthwhile and very good thoughts. Is he in ... view
