• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at one such conference in Mombasa, the Minister is reported to have paraded senior officers in his Ministry before the heads of schools, purporting to shift the blame for the loss of the Kshs4.2 billion meant for free primary education to those senior officers. Could he clarify whether, indeed, he humiliated senior officers in the Ministry in connection with the Kshs4.2 billion? If, indeed, that is true, could he go ahead and indicate the nexus between him and those senior officers and the loss of the Kshs4.2 billion meant for free primary education? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As they say, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The President of Kenya has never, in a public function, humiliated the Minister for Education in respect of this matter. Why did the Minister, instead of defending those senior officers, parade and humiliate them? Why did he not use protocol, which demands that when your senior is there, he is the one who bears the responsibility? Why did he humiliate those senior officers? Mr. Minister, are you in order to refuse to clarify that particular ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Chair, you have heard the Minister has at length dealt with the loss of free primary education funds. I was just wondering, in your wisdom, if you could kindly allow the House to then seek further clarification on the Statement he has issued because he is going to leave the wrong record on the HANSARD. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to strongly support this Bill because it advances an idea whose time has not only come but given a chance, should have come much earlier. If this Bill sails through, I will dedicate it to the former employees of the East African Community with special reference to my own brother, Sylvester Imbali Khalwale; my cousin, Alfred Mulema; my brother Adrian Muteshi Ayisi and, of course, my cousin, Dr. Henry Mima. These are people who worked with the East African Community either with the defunct East African Airways, East African Railways and East African Post ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, it is underpaying. He must admit that that medical jargon is miles away from legal jargon. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this brings to mind the merit of us, as the Parliament of this country, to make sure that we address the method through which payments are made when they are being claimed by lawyers. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of merit in two cheques being drawn so that there is a clear cheque going to the lawyer and a clear cheque going directly to the client. Having said those things, allow me to point one or two things on some of the clauses. Clause 17 talks about assets held by courts or Government ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to point out something in Clause 40. It is talking about the composition of the Board. I want to agree with it, but while agreeing with it. Please, the drafters, make sure you change the word Permanent Secretary. To be in tandem with the new Constitution, I believe it should be the Principal Secretary. But more importantly, I believe the composition of the Board should include Sub-Clause (d). The official Government Ombudsman should sit on this Board. The Ombudsman is the custodian of all complaints from all corners of the country. It is ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, Clause 41 is talking about the objectives and functions of the Board and how those should be managed and invested. In my view, this should be guided by specific rules and regulations, so as to promote social justice to all Kenyans and all counties. We do not want a national authority, which might be under a particular Cabinet Secretary, to then be abused to the extent that that Cabinet Secretary starts favouring certain Kenyans or counties. That is why I believe that there should be rules and regulations to ensure that social justice is achieved. Secondly, in those rules ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Order! Order! Hon. Wetangula, you are out of order! view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Wetangula, you do not have to respond to hon. James Orengo but, please, take note that the Speaker of the National Assembly has not, at any one time, made a contribution from the Floor of this House. The contribution was made by the Member for Ikolomani. Continue! view
