• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was not governance matters. Sometimes, our development partners delay in disbursing the money. I do not think it has taken extremely long to disburse that money. It is only that there has been a short break. I would like to assure this House that the supervision of those funds is done regularly, even by the Ministry and the auditors. We have absolutely no problem with the donor as far as accounting processes are concerned. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, schools that benefit from this programme are recommended by the District Education Board (DEB) in each district. It is the Board members who know the conditions of the schools. Hon. Members are encouraged to attend the Board meetings. view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any school that was taken over by the District Education Boards and other churches from the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA). (b) Since the answer to the question above is in the negative, there are no plans to return any schools as the list of the schools claimed to have been taken over has not been forwarded to my Ministry by the church. view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the hon. Member has tabled the documents. I would like to scrutinise them. Let me add that although the hon. Member has indicated that my late uncle spearheaded those schools, I had no knowledge of that formally. I would request that since there is no formal complaint regarding the taking over of those schools, whoever feels that he owns those schools and is aggrieved can lodge a formal complaint with my Ministry or the DEBs. view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already answered that question. I said that a formal complaint or claim should be lodged with my Ministry and we shall look into it. No such formal claim has been lodged with my Ministry. view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like many other tasks that, that former regime did not do which they should have done, I cannot argue that they did not perform even on this one. I said that we shall peruse the documents, investigate and that a formal claim should be lodged. If the claim was lodged, then the former regime must have lost it. We do not have it. view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy April 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 769 Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues who have congratulated Prof. Ojiambo for this very timely Bill. This is a Bill that needs support from all of us. We should not only support it by passing it in this House, but also making sure that it is given wide publicity. Everybody who needs to know about it should do so, and make use of it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have in mind ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute and support the Motion on the Floor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start also by adding my voice in support of the hosting of the conference last year. I would like also to congratulate the Speaker for the able manner in which he chaired the conference and as overall host. I also want to congratulate the leader of our delegation to the conference, the Deputy Speaker and also the Chair of the Planning Committee, hon. Andrew Ligale, for the very able manner in which ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not anticipating any debate. I am talking about the resolutions as they have been passed in the IPU. I have seen and the Press has written about it. The report I have seen from that committee does say 24 and if you say 24 in a House of 221, hon. Members will not translate that to anything near 30 per cent, what we have been asking for. If it is talking of 36 nominated Members of Parliament, they should actually be talking of 12 nominated women Members of Parliament, which will at least ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the shadow Minister of State for Administration and National Security in order to imply that the Government side is supporting insecurity because of one of us? That is wrong. I, personally, do not support any insecurity and I am part of the Government. Could he substantiate or withdraw? That is wrong! view
