• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has actually allowed Mr. Wafula to appeal to the Appeals Board and his case is going to be heard in the next two weeks. That is because we had exhausted all the steps. There are many committees that had sat down before he was disciplined, but since he appealed, he is yet to appear before the Appeals Board. Once he does that, we will get the last verdict about his fate. So, that is the position unless you want me to explain--- view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all--- view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry takes the recommendations of the House very seriously. But it will not allow any departmental committee and especially the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, to micromanage universities to the extent of dealing with disciplinary matters. That is contained in the statutes which are a product of this House. We debated and passed the Kenyatta University Act! view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I just want to confirm to the House that we followed the recommendations of the Departmental Committee. Every person who was involved in that strike, one way or the other, was subjected to the due process that is contained in the Kenyatta University Act. I can tell you the statutes and the number if you want. But I want to confirm to the House that the ad hoc Council Committee sat down and deliberated on this issue. The Special Senate Committee actually deliberated on this issue before they were disciplined. Now that Mr. Wafula ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the process started way back in 2009 and is still going on. I want to confirm to the House that when a Departmental Committee recommends that all the people who were involved in the strike should be reinstated, I do not think that is the way we should deal with disciplinary matters. It cannot be like that! So, let us not prejudice this case. The cases are still being handled by the Appeals Board and if you want to confirm the position when the verdict is reached, I will still contact Mr. Olago and even the Chairman. ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that advice. I want to confirm that many members of staff were involved in that strike and we have dealt with their cases. We went case by case. We did not lump the cases together. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that all of them have been dealt with, apart from this one. His case is now going for appeal. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a scale of one to ten, we will give it eight over ten. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to seek the indulgence of the House so that I be given sufficient time to consult deeply over this matter. As you know, the issue concerning GMOs is highly controversial. Kenyans want to get into the bottom of the issues surrounding this GMO business. Therefore, we want to be given some time in order to consult widely over this matter. Probably, this Question should be deferred to Thursday, next week. view
