• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to reply to this Bill. I want to start by thanking all the Members of the National Assembly who have supported this Bill without exception. It shows that this Bill is of national importance. Everybody has been affected, and wants to make sure that we have a solution to this problem of irregularities in this country. I thank you. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to thank the great people of Sabatia Constituency because they are the ones who gave me this chance to come here to do legislative work. They had a problem in Chavakali High School, and I promised to give a solution to them. This will happen. I thank them very much. I hope we will have another chance to come here to do more legislation for them. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill is giving true meaning to Article 43(1)(f) of the Constitution which guarantees everybody the right to education. Many students go to secondary school and they spend their first 15 or 18 years in school. KNEC was given powers to administer examinations to students, but they condemn them by nullifying the results without any reason. KNEC was given power which it has misused. We said in this Bill that KNEC powers must be distributed now. They have misused and used them arbitrarily. They do not cater for the interest of the students and their future. We have said some ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Section 47 of the Constitution gives everybody a right to fair administration. Everybody must get a chance to be heard and to be told what went wrong, and what solution was to be done and it was not taken care of. The students should not worry now. This august House has a solution for them. They should work hard. They should not get involved in any malpractices. If they do that, when the tribunal comes, the truth will come out and they will be seen to have cheated. We want to encourage them to have their sweat on the paper, ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: My issue goes to KNEC. I want them to raise the bar of professionalism in the investigations of examination irregularities. Members in this House have said that there have been malpractices, bribery and buying of results. This should stop. If they do no raise their bar, when the tribunal sits, that evidence will come out. We have lifted the blanket amnesty under section 9 of the Act. It protects all of them from all the mistakes they have committed. Attention should be paid to Clause 45(f) of the Bill which states that if they are found to be guilty, they ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment but I wanted to talk on the Schedule. I am waiting for the Schedule. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Members, you need to know that I am an endangered species. Mzalendo Kenya is on my case because of not speaking in Parliament. First of all, I want to tell the great people of Sabatia that I am always in this Parliament. I keep on looking for sympathy from the Speaker but, for the first time, he has given me a chance. Thank you. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Let them know that I represent them very well in other Committees--- view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I stand to support this Motion about cancer and training of oncologists. That is because cancer has become a big problem in our country. It is one of the diseases that have been ignored for a long time. I think when HIV/AIDS came to the scene, people forgot about cancer. They spent all our resources and human capital to fight it. They forgot cancer and it has finished many families. Families have spent enormous resources. When a cancer patient is at home before he or she dies, all the resources of the family are depleted. Emotions are very high. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We need to train more oncologists so that they can help with the cancer cases. We have hospitals in the counties which are trying to put up cancer centres. They cannot operate if they do not have trained personnel. That is why we need to support this Motion so that when personnel are available, they are posted to those referral hospitals in counties. Those facilities are being set up by governors to support cancer cases in counties. view
