• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that you are trying to guide the Assistant Minister on how to answer Questions. He is taking a lot of our time! Is he not aware that there was an Harmonization Committee that was set up by the Government, so that it could bring the salaries of teachers and those of civil servants closer together? Why is it taking so much time? Mr. Assistant Minister, please, tell us what happened to the harmonization exercise and whether the Government is ready to look for a donor! Otherwise, you should defer the Question. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is not even addressing the entire question. Part "C" of the Question states as follows:- "What immediate steps will the Minister take to feed, educate, provide water and health services on humanitarian grounds to these IDPs?" Could he tell us what they are doing about the education of our children? This is the sixth month since schools opened. Feeding them alone is not enough! Our children require education. So, if the Assistant Minister is not able to answer that, then the Question should be referred to the Minister ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the hon. Member to ask whether the Government is going to feed "kids" or is he referring to children? Kids are a goat's children! Is the hon. Member in order to ask the Government to feed animals, or is it children in schools? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, schools feed children, and we would be interested in the Ministry of Education feeding children rather than kids. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said about the Budget so far, but I would like to support the previous speaker by saying that quite a number of issues ought to have been addressed. The Minister should have allocated more funds to some sectors such as agriculture and education. Since we all agree that agriculture is the backbone of our country and it will help alleviate unemployment amongst our youth and reduce poverty, we need to urge the Government to address issues that are pertinent to eradication of poverty and improvement of health. I would like to ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the question of human/wildlife conflict has not been properly addressed. This Question is not confined to Masinga. You find that in other areas such as Gaturi Location in my Kiharu Constituency, we have problems with monkeys. These wild animals are roaming all over the place. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, earlier on, an Assistant Minister told us that they do not know how many people they feed in Turkana District. What are we going to do with this monkey menace in our rural areas? Wild animals are roaming all over and nobody is taking care ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The KWS wardens often just come to the bush and fire into the air. That does not scare the monkeys. That is not a solution. Would the hon. Assistant Minister like to go with us to witness the monkeys as they jump up the trees? How do they intend to handle this problem in the less disadvantaged areas of Murang'a North East District? view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not elaborated on the main concern here. Other than considering the registration of these institutions, the major issue is certification. Members of the public are losing a lot of money through these institutions. The Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology should also accept that they are operating on a borrowed Act of Parliament. This is because Cap.211 empowers the Minister for Education, and not the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could he clarify when they will be in a position to create a body that ... view
