8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly:
I expected Hon. Odanga to provide to Members the dates when Mr. Jacob Kaimenyi was invited by this House and he refused to come. We need to see the letter that was sent to the Office of the Clerk. The Executive communicates to Parliament through the Accounting Officer, who is the Clerk of the National Assembly. That evidence has not been provided. I saw Hon. Odanga talking about the said regulations. The Instruments Act that we passed in this House says regulations from the Executive will come through Cabinet Secretaries to the Office of the Clerk, for me to table ...

it. There is nowhere in law where regulations will go to the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and Attorney-General. Do not mislead the country. You can do better than this and you will do better than this in the next impeachment Motion that you will bring.

8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly:
There is the CS’s high-handedness, arrogance and refusal to consult stakeholders. I will pick only one, which is the matter on ranking of schools. It started with former Chairman of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and former Minister Henry Kosgey when he was a Minister for Education in 1999; he formed a commission led by David Koech. That Commission rejected ranking of schools. In 2001, a commission was formed led by a lady called Naomi Wangai, who is a Commissioner of the Teachers Service Commission. That Commission rejected it. I was in this House in the 10th Parliament. The Departmental Committee ...

Hon. Speaker, on the issue of discrimination against children, let me speak to the kind of reforms that this person has brought. The first nomadic commission in the history of Kenya for pastoral communities was initiated by Jacob Kaimenyi. The National Irrigation Board and the 47 county boards were initiated under the leadership of Kaimenyi. Education Standards and Quality Assurance was done under Kaimenyi. The establishment of the National Council for Nomadic Education in Kenya to promote education in ASAL and other marginalised areas was an initiative of Prof. Kaimenyi.

Finally, the procurement of laptop computers for Standard One pupils was not under the ambit of the Cabinet Secretary. The process involves the Procurement Department, the Ministerial Tender Committee, independent observers, the negotiating committee, the due- diligence committee, among other entities.

8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this House’s committee responsible for education travelled across the country and around the world to do due diligence. If we accuse Prof. Kaimenyi on the issue of the laptop computers, this House’s committee responsible for education also stands accused. Procurement is not a function of a CS. Let us forget about the Njuri Ncheke . They are there even in my community. There are many factions of Njuri Ncheke . The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly:
Finally, as a House, we have seen the kind of threshold that the Constitution has provided for the impeachment of a CS to make sure that the process is not abused. We need 117 Members in the first stage. If it goes through to the Second Stage, we will need 174 Members. Why did the framers of the Constitution set such requirements? With those remarks, I beg to oppose the Motion with facts and ask Hon. Odanga not to carry the baggage of one Sossion, who denied the children of northern Kenya teachers.

Hon. Speaker, you have heard Hon. Ngeno saying that I know and I am part of the people who killed 147 students of Garissa University College. Unless he provides credible information and substantiates---
