• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The KICD is very important because that is where education curriculum is developed. The curricula for the various subjects and the books that are used for teaching are developed there. This is a serious board under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. As it is now, the CS does not have any powers with regard appointment of the board. This amendment provides for some members of the board to be appointed by the CS, in consultation with key stakeholders who have a leeway in the development of curricula. The Bill further in that section seeks to amend the Act ... view

• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I seek leave of the House to allow a Motion for Adjournment of the House to discuss the imminent collapse of the country’s national carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ), due to diminishing financial returns. Kenya Airways, which was founded in 1977 as the country’s national carrier and rose to become the acclaimed ‘Pride of Africa’ and the airline of choice regionally, continentally and globally, has been experiencing unprecedented financial turbulence. Over the past four years, the airline’s financial fortunes have been diminishing and its competiveness waning. In the 2014/2015 Financial Year, KQ posted a ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I, therefore, seek adjournment of the House to discuss this important matter of national concern and reflect on the claims of irregularities that may have contributed to the shocking financial situation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand to oppose the Public Fundraising Appeals Bill. I oppose it for two major reasons. One, I come from the Muslim Community and fundraising and charity is a cardinal responsibility of each and every person who believes and is of the Muslim faith. Charity and helping the poor and the sick and building mosques and madrassas is a virtue and is part of the leadership qualities of each and every Muslim. Two, this particular piece of legislation is going to be very dangerous. I want Members of Parliament to listen to me. If we pass this Bill, ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: camels do not produce enough milk during the dry season are given milk and sustained until the drought period is over, by those whose camels have enough milk. It has been traditional. There is nothing wrong for Hon. K’Oyoo who, during his days in the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and even now, is endowed with resources, to be my guest of honour if I have a cancer patient in Garissa. In the Bible and the Quran, the hand that gives is blessed thereafter. It is not the hand that is giving but the heart. You can have resources in ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Kenya Airways (KQ) has been performing dismally in the last six years. It has reported cumulative loss of Kshs71.4 billion before tax. Before tax, these losses are broken down as follows: Kshs10.8 billion, Kshs4.8 billion, Kshs29.7 billion and Kshs26.1 billion in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. This has resulted in the airline being technically insolvent with a negative equity of over Kshs36 billion. As we speak today, there are overdue payments of over Kshs15 billion to creditors and the short-term loan position is currently in excess of Kshs140 billion. The operational mess has been presided ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the great ladies of Kiambu and Baringo should lower their voices. Look at the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between KLM and KQ graphically. The KLM is owned by Air France. Substantially, the major shareholder of Air France is Lafarge company. Lafarge’s presence in Kenya is in Bamburi Cement and East African Portland. The people who represent Bamburi Cement and East African Portland on behalf of Lafarge are Titus Naikuni and Mr. Ngunze. There is a serious relationship in the whole MoU between KLM and KQ from the shareholding of KLM by Air France. Seventy per cent of Air ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: commercial department which in turn directly reports to the airline CEO. The fares have been declining significantly especially during the last two years. This has been the reason why low unprofessional fares were being given in some markets. Hon. Speaker, London which is a key market for the airline, has witnessed very low fares. An analysis in the audit report which was done by Deloitte, and which is in a draft form--- If you allow me, I will give it to Members. They can pick it from my office. It is above the graphics and all that was taking place. ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the KQ cargo business was technically diverted to a private firm called Astral Aviation Limited (AAL). An audit report by Deloitte has identified my good friend, the former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, and his son Odinga Junior as being directors of AAL. Hon. Raila Odinga, I read, argued that he has only one share at the AAL. If you have only one share, how do you become the Chair of the Board? You become the Chair of the Board when you have substantive majority shareholding. So, Hon. Raila Odinga is not holding one share; he is holding more ... view
