• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, also the degree weighted cluster points is lowered between one to three points. This rule is implemented in degree programmes where candidates from ASAL are less than 10 per cent in the programme.

• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry did not defy the directive from His Excellency the President. We started working out the logistics of making sure that we have the requisite infrastructure in Garissa when we got the instruction.

In my response, you will notice I said we are going to get the report in two months time and we will work out the logistics of ensuring that the Presidential directive on the creation of this university college is actually implemented. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many issues that have to be covered when you are establishing a university. But I want to confirm to him that after we have received this report, this university will be opened next year and not in two months time. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for granting me the opportunity to support the report by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. In supporting the appointment of Mr. Maurice Juma, I wish to point out that the Procurement and Supplies Department in the Government is the fulcrum of corruption.
