• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to lay on the Table, the following documents as substantiation. One is a letter written to me by the Executive Director responding to my requests for the following documents. One, a confirmation signed by Mr. Taabu Daniels, the Executive Director of NARC (K) confirming among other things that, NARC (K) had a registered secretariat which funded its own “Yes” campaign and, subsequently, they had a bash which they funded. I have also attached a copy of an advertisement in a daily newspaper which has been authenticated by being counter-signed by ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Two weeks ago you directed that the Minister for Agriculture responds to a Ministerial Statement which I raised on Butali Sugar Company in Kakamega. You had given her time because there were issues of the sub judice rule and so on. I notice the Minister has just stepped out. Could you direct that she responds in the afternoon? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank the Mover of this Motion because he has distinguished himself by the interest he has had in education matters during this Session. I hope the people of Vihiga have noted this because these are the kind of contributions that this country expects from us, as Members of Parliament. I have a compelling basis for seconding this Motion. This is captured in the noble letter and spirit of this Motion which to me, I can only see two arms. The first arm is that the Motion intends to increase, in fact, ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: , we have to make sure that we fight the creation of a class society in this country. This is because they are the children of the poor who after running out of options of graduating to the higher level of education, end up in petty crime and in the process, make our entire country insecure. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to cite Section 55(a) of our new Constitution. It provides that our youth must be given access to relevant education and training. Therefore, by so saying, this Constitution has now actually made in that particular Section 55(a), this to be a constitutional right. Therefore, the Government must be innovative through such a Motion to make sure that this Section 55(a) is implemented through the innovation as founded in this sort of Motion. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I cannot conclude without making a small comment about our teachers. Our teachers are the ones who preside over national examinations that enable our children to go to universities to access this Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), and I am glad the Minister is here. It is very embarrassing to see that the welfare of teachers is not addressed during national examinations. These teachers, to mark those examinations, are accommodated in dormitories where little boys and girls sleep. We allow adults like hon. Mwatela to go and sleep in a dormitory in a girl’s school because ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to my professional colleague, who is my senior, is he in order to mislead the country that the new Constitution will make it impossible for children to be admitted in schools outside their counties? Could he quote the section of the Constitution that provides for that? view

• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are at a new point in life of this country. If members of the public will live thinking that some children will not be admitted to a school which is outside their county because of this new Constitution, that is going to have a direct impact on national cohesion. I beg that you insist that the hon. Member cites the part of the Constitution that provides for what he is saying or withdraw and apologize. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion and take this opportunity to assure Kenyans wherever they are in this country that the energies we used to drive the reform agenda that brought us the new Constitution, we will use them in this House and outside the House to ensure that the new Constitution is implemented. We would like to implement the new Constitution so that peace and stability that it guarantees us is enjoyed by all Kenyans. We would also like to ensure that the opportunity of economic advancement as given by this Constitution is ... view
