• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just wondering, because you are the one who was doing the research, whether you could enlighten us further on what the authority of Erskine May says about this particular practice of Omnibus. This is because I take it that, that is the authority to Parliamentary democratic practice. view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the graduation ceremony for Masinde Muliro University in Kakamega, scheduled for 18th November, 2011, is threatened following riots that led to indefinite suspension of students? (b) What was the cause of the riots? (c) What urgent measures is the Minister taking to contain the situation? view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is giving a half-hearted directive. Over 800 students who have graduated after being trained, examined and qualified, have been denied an opportunity to practise what they learnt in school. Could you direct the ERB to register those graduates with immediate effect, since the curriculum that they are using, the template is the same as the one they were using at the other universities that have recognized that training? view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that those students were exposed to substandard education when, as you know, at the university, for a student to qualify, he must be subjected to internal and external examiners? Both those people examined the students at Masinde Muliro University and qualified them. But the board refused to register them. Is he in order to say that they were not being taught when they passed their exams – and some of them with flying colours? view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hesitation by ERB, I believe, is in good faith. That is because the board is concerned with matters of quality assurance. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what the Ministry is doing, not just in connection with students of engineering, but all other cases, so that our university standards of education do not deteriorate to the level where you find that professional bodies will refuse to admit students, the way the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board does not admit students from Russia and India, until they are subjected to board examinations? view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You can see the Assistant Minister boasting and bragging that he has the law on his side to impose a curfew. view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may use the exact words that he used which are as you have said, is he aware that the new Constitution does not give him those powers, whatsoever, and specifically Article 58(2) which only puts these powers in the Head of State and who can only exercise them for 14 days? If he wishes to continue, he can only do so by permission of this National Assembly. Could he tell us why he is imposing curfew on some people in Kimilili? view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is Article 58 which is about the state of emergency. view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 58(2) says that a declaration of a state of emergency and any--- view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, definitely, they are not. However, if you look at the same Article, Section 1(a), talks about public emergency. view
