• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to assure hon. Members who may be thinking that, as usual, there may be some kind of resistance from the Government on this Motion. It is not always that, we, as Government, have to oppose a Motion brought to the House by a Back-Bencher. A government worth its salt has to be responsive to the problems facing its citizens. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: This Motion is very relevant, and is very much supported by the Government, because the truth is the truth. There is no way we can deny it. The issues raised in this Motion are problems which we know have always existed. I am an Assistant Minister from this Ministry, but I come from northern Kenya, which this Motion is talking about. So, I face these problems on a daily basis. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not speaking here in my capacity as an hon.

So, we, as a Government, have to be very careful. We have to look at the careers for which we are formulating a policy before we start implementing. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, agree with the Mover of this Motion, Amb. Mohamed Affey, that the policy relating to recruitment of chiefs and clerks was brought about in 2007. Since that time, many of the areas we are discussing today, which are marginalised, have not been recruiting chiefs, because of this problem. I have five locations in my district that do not have chiefs. They have been like that since 2007. We cannot recruit chiefs because of the criteria that is in place. If you sat for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination and got mean ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I offered scholarships to students to enrol for a primary teacher certificate course in the PI category, because we could not get teachers from the local community. We got only three responses, not because there were no people with mean Grade C or C+. It is simply because many of them do not want to become teachers. They feel that they can pick on other careers and enrol from graduate studies with their KCSE mean Grade C or C+, instead of enroling for a P1 course. view
