• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report and more so on the area of the TSC and the issue of hon. Mak’Onyango. Relating to the TSC commissioners, I think the Government is being very unfair to the teachers because we know the work of these commissioners. They handle very important roles for the teachers. These are issues to do with discipline and other important issues relating to teachers’ issues and I think it is important that these commissioners are appointed. As we are talking, we have only one commissioner and they need a quorum just ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Relating to the issue of hon. Mak’Onyango, I think it is very unfair that somebody was actually harassed by his own Government and as a result of that harassment a decision was made so that, that person is compensated. However, for the last almost 30 years this compensation has not been forthcoming. It is very unfair to such a Kenyan. I do not know whether the Government is waiting for this character to die and then they pay the money to the relatives or the family members. So, what is the delay for? view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, I think that it is important that this report is adopted and immediately the Committee on Implementation picks up the matter so that hon. Mak’Onyango is compensated. This is so that before God takes him away at whatever time that is planned, he will be able to enjoy some of this money. I think he has suffered enough and it is very unfair that the Government keeps on delaying. It makes very lame excuses which do not make sense to anybody. I really support this report that this hon. Member should be compensated. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: With these remarks, I want to support the Report. Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. I am not opposing it because the issues being raised here are not important but it is because I do not think the establishment of a Disaster Management Authority is going to be the solution. When we look at what is happening in this country today, we have a number of institutions which can handle the mandate of disaster preparedness, for example, the issue of roads and bridges. We are all talking about roads and bridges being washed away by floods. But if you look at what is happening, ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion. As it is indicated in the Order Paper our new Constitution does view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and I think there is a question which has not been answered. So, I would like to make that clarification. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: An hon. Member asked whether the money we are talking about for the next financial year includes the Kshs5.4 billion. We put this question to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance yesterday. He assured us that the allocation for the CDF in the next financial year is Kshs23 billion. So, because of the Kshs5.4 billion, we will get Kshs28.4 billion in the next financial year. That is an addition of Kshs5.4 billion, which takes care of the CDF money that had been borrowed to meet other national needs. So, we will not lose view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. When you look at our Constitution, Article 43(1)(f), every Kenyan is entitled to education. I think it is on the basis of this that we all need to have our children going to school. But when we look at the ASAL areas, we realize that girls are disadvantaged in terms of accessing education. When you analyze the national education indicators, they are all unfavourable to the girl-child. For example, when you look at the enrolment rate, you will realize that it is low for ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion because these issues are very close to my heart. This Motion is timely. We all know that the youth of this country are slightly over 70 per cent of our population. It is, therefore, important that they The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
