• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as much as this is a Question by Private Notice, which requires an urgent answer, its nature is that investigations should be carried out by my Ministry in conjunction with the Ministry in charge of Internal Security to establish the exact nature of events. I have spoken to the Questioner, the hon. Member for Igembe North and we have agreed that I request for some time so that we can provide a thorough answer to this Question. view

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to protest because I have not been sleeping on the job. I am very awake. That is why I am going to implement it. I want to reiterate that this is not a dress rehearsal. This is a real thing. I am saying it is going to happen. view

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should be realistic. Is he now asking me to do the computation? That is really a different Question. I can go and do the computation and bring it to the House. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one thing I would like to clarify to this House. Possessing a degree does not necessarily entitle one to teach at a secondary school. It could be a degree in early childhood education, which is for teaching young children. So, it depends on what degree the hon. Member is talking about. If it is a degree that allows one to specifically teach in secondary school, I agree that those teachers should be taken to secondary schools. However, some teachers could be possessing degrees for teaching in primary schools. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I am not notorious for giving false promises. All the promises that I have given here have been fulfilled. view
