• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while the Question is limited to the section between Kiboswa and the junction, what is said about this section applies to the entire road from Kisumu all the way to Webuye. When this matter was raised in the House by hon. Chanzu, the Minister was quick to visit the site and confirm that, indeed, there was no road. Now, he is saying that two contracts have been awarded and that the contractors are on site. I happen to come from there and I know that they are not on site. Could he undertake to travel tomorrow quickly ... view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, when the Minister talks about percentages like 35 per cent or so on, people might think that he is giving teachers everything. What he means is that he is raising the salary from Kshs10,000 to Kshs13,000. If you want to spread the increment of Kshs3,000 over a period of three years, it means you want to pay the teachers only Kshs1,000. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: I have had a session with these teachers. They are saying that they are dropping all the contentious issues, and asking for only one thing; that the Kshs3,000 that you want to pay, be given in July and not in January. We want the Minister to come to this House and ask for money and we will vote it in the next financial year, so that you can pay the teacher Kshs3,000 in July. What is difficult about that? Could he clarify whether he is now going to change that position or not? view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have noticed that there were so many Members of Parliament who wanted to seek clarifications but time could not allow. Given that the Minister has not told us a single action that would lead the children of poor parents to go back to school, could I beg that we have a Motion of Adjournment so that tomorrow, we can deliberate on this issue until we force the Minister and the Government to take children of poor people to school? All these people's children are in academies! view

• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. As I do so, I would like to thank the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs for managing to find a way forward last night. It was very difficult and I would like to assure hon. Members that the little amendment 4164 that I brought yesterday was without any mischief. For this reason, as a way forward and arising from the consultations we have been doing, those Members of this House who do not want to be Members of the Select Committee should join me - I also do not ... view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank God almighty that some of us in this House are still alive or, for that matter, are still awake. We have not slept because we really consulted throughout the night. I have never received so many phone calls from the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and from across the board. I wish we were having these kind of controversies because he would be calling me more often as he did. Given the fact that consensus has been reached, I find it necessary that we do not waste any more time ... view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I not only withdraw but also apologise. I was saying that these two particular communities have found that there are those competing interests that are making it difficult. So, if you can--- view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw my Motion, so that we can proceed. view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you again, Mr. Speaker. My apologies to Mr. Kioni. Mr. Kioni, if you really opened my heart, I have no problem with any community and I mean well! Mr. Speaker, Sir, going by those regions, it, therefore, means that the western region has agreed, the coastal region has agreed and part of Rift Valley has agreed. With regard to political parties, ODM seems to be finding an easier way of moving forward. So, the problem seems to be more with PNU, purely because it is a conglomeration of quite a number of political parties. So, I am requesting hon. ... view
