• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology has finally got wind and direction in terms of how we should proceed on this matter on education. I am happy that we should expedite this issue of the TSC so that we have commissioners in office so that teachers can have people to negotiate with because as it is, one commissioner cannot negotiate with them and our children are out of classes because of various reasons. I also hope that the Government will pay them their dues as per Legal ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy that the hon. Member is asking me to clarify and that is why I behoove hon. Members to read the Report in its entirety without castigating Members of the Committee. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at the last page of the Report which is an attachment by the AG copied to, amongst others, Mr. Francis Kimemia and Prof. Godia, the seventh paragraph of that passage reads very well and it is a legal opinion. It says: “The decision of the court invalidated only the second… submitted to the National Assembly but did not affect the entire selection process including the constitution of the selection panel so as to require setting up of a new selection panel for the already existing vacancies.” That is the best it view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Motion as amended. Parts of northern Kenya and various parts of the country are occasionally marooned by floods; there is always need for people to be supported in one way or the other. You notice that half the time, the Government is caught flat-footed, because we do not have an agency. We end up relying on NGOs, and there is no proper management of these disasters when they strike. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: A Disaster Management Authority in the manner that the amendment is proposing will be very useful to this country. It should not just be limited to issues of floods. Occasionally, we have had several disasters in this country, things that arise from terrorist attacks, bomb blasts and dangerous fires, as my colleague has mentioned. These sorts of things need to be managed by a Disaster Management Authority that has the data base in terms of who has been a victim and what possible remedies ought to be put in place. A Disaster Management Authority will be able to help in ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It is with a lot of emotion in my heart that I rise to support this particular Motion. Some of us were beneficiaries of bursary programmes by well-wishers who supported our schooling. In moments like those, the words of William Butler that: “Education is under a peel but yet a fire that is supposed to be lit each time” comes to my mind. That is because education is a process that, once it is started, should continuously be spooked so that the fire burns by. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Kenyans voted for the Constitution in 2010 and one of the reasons why most Kenyans voted for it was because it did give them various rights. Article 43 of the Constitution guarantees the right to have medical care. That simply means that as a Government, we can no longer pay lip service to economic and social rights and things of that nature. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it then means that healthcare programmes are not just aspirations, not just things that I can wish away. They must be things that are realizable. Fifty years after Kenya’s Independence, it is really ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: As a Government, we have no excuse for not supporting the people, especially when we have seen in the budget-making process in the past two weeks that there is Recurrent Expenditure in terms of expenses that we do not need; examples are purchase of planes and holding of conferences. This is money that can be properly put into building dispensaries and remunerating our healthcare workers properly. So, I support this Motion and state that recruitment of more staff is not something that you can wish away. This is not a Motion in the ordinary sense. We are discussing constitutional rights ... view
