• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member has asked how many teachers are going to benefit. It is all those teachers who met the qualifications at given times to avoid discrimination. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are details but let me just remind the House, and the hon. Member, that it is not the Ministry of Education that determines in which areas public servants should be awarded hardship allowance. This matter has been coming up frequently. My Ministry is ready to pay as long as we get proper designation of the hardship areas from the relevant Ministry. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the request made for the statement to be read on Tuesday, I think is a little bit too ambitious considering the sensitivity of the matter. I would plead with the Members that they give the Ministry up to Thursday, next week, so that we come up with a comprehensive Statement on this matter. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I do not know where the hon. Members got this idea that the results were cancelled. The results were withheld because there are investigations going on. So, withholding the results is very different from cancelling the results. Please, give us up to Thursday. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the impression that is being created is that the Front Bench was whipped not to be here this morning. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir that is the impression that is being created. I would like to state categorically in this House that unless that was selectively because I was not whipped. I am one person who supports the Minister for Lands and the Adjournment as articulated by hon. Isaac Ruto. This is because issues of land must be debated adequately to the satisfaction of the Kenyan people. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this repeated allegation that the Government was whipped is a fallacy because I was not whipped. However, let me make a suggestion that the Motion by the Committee Chairman, if it is agreeable, be amended to include the county Bills, so that we have enough time instead of extending time and people getting so tired that they cannot input. We should include the county Bills in this. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity, and congratulations for occupying the Chair this morning. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I must join my colleagues who have congratulated the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, and all those who were involved in crafting this Bill for coming up with a piece of legislation that does pretty well in addressing a key component of our new Constitution - devolution. It should be appreciated by all of us that the new Constitution came with a lot of expectations amongst our population, most of all in the areas of land, devolution and governance. view
