• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance to second the Motion. I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Motion; the experienced Senator, G. G. Kariuki, for this very timely Motion which I hope and trust that hon. Senators will support. In seconding this Motion, I want to underline from the beginning the importance of security. We are all aware of the insecurity pricking our country right now. I congratulate the Government because of the good infrastructural record which was, especially put in place by the previous Governments. We all know the efforts that former President ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me say from the onset that I oppose this Motion. I do not want to thank the Mover because we should ventilate on these issues. As a country, we need to be very careful as to what we devolve. Education is a national function. Why do I say so? I say that because education must be standardised. You cannot set examinations for the whole country unless education is standardised and the facilities are the same. I happen to have served in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology as an Assistant Minister in charge ... view

Therefore, I would like to add here that, as we look into the pollution of the rivers – which is the source of most of the water that our people drink, especially in the rural areas – it is absolutely important that we make sure that it is pure The electronic version ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator in order to use words like “ wahuni” or “ wadanganyifu” ? Could he substantiate and apologise? view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion and to support the welfare of teachers. I started as a trained teacher and I taught for two years; so, I know all about teachers. My father was a teacher and, so, I have grown up in the household of a teacher. I do not think any one of us needs to be told about the value of teachers; we all know. The importance of paying teachers properly cannot be overemphasized. But having said that, Madam Temporary Speaker, let me start by saying that this ... view
