• 22 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought another Ministerial Statement and I was assured that it will be issued on Tuesday but my concern is that following that Ministerial Statement, there seems to be a fight between the Minister for Housing, on whose constituency the mills that is, the Butali Sugar Company is located and the Minister for Agriculture. In fact, the Minister for Housing has written a very “hot” letter to the Minister for Agriculture and copied it to me. In that letter, there is a hidden threat at the end where the Minister seems to imply that farmers are getting ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for that ruling because had you not made it very clear that resolutions of this House must be respected, then we were going to open a precedent where we run the risk. This year, this House made the most important resolutions since Independence, for example, the review process and the public is going to soon add its voice. If the public then agrees with our resolution that we must have a new resolution, if that decision is made and then we go into a situation whereby the ... view

• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Chanzu, thank you for allowing me to second this very important Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what was the reason why it became necessary that students should join our universities privately? The Parallel Degree Programme was a product of innovative thinking where lecturers realized that the real reason why students were missing access to university education was a very stupid thing called bed capacity in the halls of residence. Students would qualify and then the number was usually more than the bed capacity in the halls of residence. So, they opened ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, obviously, this makes it difficult for us to achieve the high standards. The other thing which we must address as we allow the function of this programme is the issue of learning facilities like tutorial rooms, lecture theatres, laboratories and computer rooms. The university should only be allowed to admit that number of students who will be able use these facilities constructively because it reads nonsense for a thousand children to sit in Taifa Hall and receive a lecture from one lecturer. I always wonder: When these lecturers give continuous assessment tests (CATs), how on ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Government licenses non- Governmental organizations (NGOs) that fight the same Government by way of encouraging children to remain on the streets. These NGOs during lunch time, Mr. Assistant Minister, supply Chapatis and cookies to please these children so that they remain on the street for them to continue receiving funding from abroad. What are you doing by way of identifying these particular NGOs and making sure that they are de- registered for our children to go back home and go to school? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Minister say that he is not aware of insecurity in Nairobi when he knows very well that the late hon. Mugabe Were was murdered in this city and that Messrs. Wekesa, Akula, Nguyai, Onyancha, and in fact, his former friend, Dr. Kituyi, have been victims of insecurity? Is he not aware of these incidences? How can he say that there is no insecurity? Is he prepared to respond to this House or he came here to tell us his own stories view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason I cited the names of those hon. Members is because they are closer to the Minister. So, if he does not see the weight of hon. Members being affected, how about the holoi poloi who are in those high activity areas at night? I beg that you make a ruling on whether the Minister is prepared or not prepared to answer this Question. He is taking the House for a ride. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the deteriorating security in Kakamega, resulting in the shooting to death of a Kenyan Asian businessman two weeks ago, and the shooting of four others on 18th July, 2010. I would like the Minister to clarify the following:- (a) the reasons for the sudden upsurge of gun crime in Kakamega, a situation which has never been previously witnessed; (b) what the Government is doing to bring back normalcy to that previously peaceful town of Western Province; (c) ... view
