• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for granting me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Vote. I will start by joining my colleagues in thanking the Minister for the way she moved this Motion. I would also like to commend her team in the Ministry; the bureaucrats who have really tried to give us designs and best policies that have, actually, taken us through the last two or three years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the future of our country is in our youth. That is one of the greatest challenges. We must face that ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Motion. I would like to pay tribute to former Member of Parliament, hon. Peter Oloo-Aringo, for actually championing the democratisation of the Budget process. You will realise that some regions are getting disproportionate access to Government resources as opposed to others. When you look at the current Estimates, you will be surprised. I will even ask you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to look at them. You might realise that a place like Modogashe has not been allocated any money for the construction of roads. ... view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) We are not aware of the existence of any unregistered middle-level colleges since it is illegal to operate any such institution without a proper and valid registration certificate. However, owing to the large number of applications received in any given month, ranging between 30 and 100 applications, there might be a lapse between the time of application and the time of inspection May 13, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 967 for various reasons related to volume of work and limitation of resources. But, under the Education Act, Cap. 211, no person is allowed ... view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is basically a statement from the Member of Parliament. However, since this matter is so weighty to most Kenyans, I want to really confirm to the House that no institution will be allowed to offer professional certificates without having been registered. In that case, I want to confirm to the House that we will investigate and ascertain whether the two institutions have been registered or not. If they have not been registered, we will close the two institutions this week. Lastly, I want to also confirm to the hon. Member that we are in the ... view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that quite a number of the computer colleges offering courses and issuing certificates in this country are registered. However, if he has any specific computer college which has not been registered, or which is offering courses and issuing certificates illegally, let me have that information as soon as possible. Otherwise, I want to promise the House that we will rein in some of those proliferating institutions which have not been registered and ensure that they are all registered, and that they conform with the requirements of Cap.211, Laws ... view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a procedure in the Ministry. We have a section which deals with registration of such colleges. I have also informed the House that we are in the process of establishing a fully-fledged department, which will deal with quality assurance, so as to deal with this matter, once and for all. Quite a number of applications are received by our offices. We normally send our quality assurance officers to inspect those institutions before they are given the requisite registration certificates. view

• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think your directions were very clear that the hon. Ojaamong is misleading the House that chiefs were involved in this campaign, when he knows that in those polling stations, we had both Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and PNU agents. There were no chiefs distributing money in those polling stations. Could he withdraw and apologise instead of misleading and taking the House for a ride? view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for granting me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion.
