• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Members for their hard work. We have been able to go through a lot and we have managed to accomplish quite a lot of serious assignments. I want to pick on the issue of drought, but from a different angle. The level of malnutrition is very high. In places like Turkana, Isiolo, Marsabit and others this has reached alarming levels. This time round we are likely to lose lives because food has not been delivered on time. It is bad for money to be returned to the Treasury and ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the Assistant Minister agreed that these were employees and there are allegations made by the former employees that their terminal dues have not been paid, it is incumbent upon the Government to prove that they have been paid. In the absence of that, the liability still rests with them. Could the Ministry now undertake to pay them because there is no option and he cannot prove otherwise? view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this amendment. I want to pay great tribute to the Committee--- view

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to pay a glowing tribute to this Committee, particularly to the Chairman because of the manner and skills with which he presented this Report. If one ever bothered to, perhaps, give his ears fully to how the Chairman presented this Report, as advised by Mr. Orengo, you will see that he actually managed to sell the nomination of the three nominees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of investigations is based on some allegations. I had an opportunity to interrogate, at the level of Committee, the former Permanent Secretary, Mr. Kirui. You know where ... view

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am contributing to the amendment. I was giving examples of some of this conmanship behaviour in this country. I want to give you one of the old ones when I used to serve as a senior executive where somebody imitated the voice of the late hon. Kones who was then the Minister for Higher Education and wanted to get something out of me. I was bright enough to say no. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: The second example is that somebody else behaved like he was calling from State House then and you know at that time how powerful State House was; at the time of President Moi but I declined all that. The latest example is on the recruitment of security agents. Texts have been going round telling people to give out money so as to get chances for recruitment. This conduct is there. We cannot take somebody of the calibre of Mr. Kirui seriously to warrant such an investigation! I wish to support the amendment. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) the level of the girl-child enrolment and transition rate at Marsabit and Isiolo counties at all levels; and, (b) the Government schemes that exist to encourage and promote girl-child education in the two counties. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that the answer is as given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. He has said that the Questioner has the answer. This Question now belongs to the House, but he has brought only one copy of the answer. Is he in order to deny the entire House the opportunity to participate in interrogating this Question by giving us only one copy of the answer? He is referring to a table. view
