• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, much obliged. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Motion very reluctantly. I am saying reluctantly because our sub-region was totally obliterated by our side of the coalition, the PNU, but because we have to give and take, I agreed with my colleagues and our party chiefs that we support this list. If you look at this list, the entire Kalenjin nation is not featuring anywhere from the PNU side but it is featuring from the ODM side. So I wish to support reluctantly and wish to inform those who were in this Committee to make sure that when it comes ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not doubt your command of English but to say that there is the “Kalenjin nation”, I think that is not bad English! It is good English! view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Spirit of give and take, I wish to withdraw. So as I conclude, I just want to appeal to the Committee members to ensure that all provinces or all regions of this country are fully represented when it comes to the appointment of commissioners. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) We are not putting up new national polytechnics, but upgrading eight existing technical training institutions to the national polytechnics as follows:- 1. Meru Technical Training Institute, 2. Machakos Technical Training Institute, 3.Nyeri Technical Training Institute, 4. Mombasa Technical Training Institute, 5. Sigalagala Technical Training Institute, 6. Kitale Technical Training Institute, 7. North Eastern Province Technical Training Institute, and, 8. Gusii Institute of Technology. The criteria used in identifying the regions were as follows:- (i) Existing Technical Training Institutions, (ii) The Institute must be far from existing national polytechnic. Nairobi Province did ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member says is true to a certain extent. The first statement is on Meru and Machakos training institutes. Yes, the two institutions are in Eastern Province. We also considered the seniority of these institutions. We all know Meru Technical Training Institute and Machakos Technical Training Institute are very old institutions. But the last statement by the hon. Member is misleading because Sigalagala Technical Training Institute is in Western Province while Kitale Technical Training Institute is in Rift Valley Province. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at our current Budget, we have considered Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology, especially in the stimulus package. So, it is also considered not in this category, but in another category. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member has raised is quite valid. I want to confirm to the House that our vision, as a Ministry, is to have a university in every county. It may take quite some time, but we are planning. We also want to ensure that at least, every county has a technical training institute. So, when we propose this in our subsequent budgets, I hope Members will support us. That is our vision and we intend to prosecute it to the letter. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the House that we will look into areas which have not been considered but, of course, subject to availability of funds. So, you will be considered, hon. Mwangi. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at this stage, it is not possible to confirm to the good people of Nyakach that we will give them a technical training institute. However, the issue will be discussed in the Ministry and we will get in touch with the hon. Member once the matter is finalized. view
