• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that the only reason why he cannot transfer these students to the University of Nairobi is because there is inadequate bed capacity. Could he give a montly stipende, in the meantime to these students, so that while they are attending classes at the University of Nairobi they can use that money to pay for accommondation outside? When the Council is in place, the students can then be accommondated at the College? view
• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I notice that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Wetangula, is here. For two weeks, he has been avoiding to bring to this House a Ministerial Statement in respect of the cargo ship that was hijacked on the high seas of the Indian Ocean. I request him to respond. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister discovered in 1989 - that is 19 years ago - that the performance of the school was poor and it continued to go down. Could the Assistant Minister tell us why it has taken him 19 years to do nothing about the need to improve the performance of that school? Removal of that teacher is a smaller problem. The bigger problem is the performance of the school. Why has the Ministry done nothing over a period of 19 years? view

• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has requested to be allowed time to come up with a comprehensive answer. However, what prompted her to make this request are the two supplementary questions raised. Could you allow us to give her points of clarification so that she comes up with a comprehensive answer? view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have two points on which I seek clarification. The first one is that the Minister has told us that he is on top of things. Indeed, if you are on top of things, can you tell Kenyans how much money is presently held in circulation through e-money transfer? Once we know that, we shall know that you are in control. The second clarification which I am seeking is: When is the Minister going to bring a legislation that will protect that innovative service? That is because without legislation, it is quite clear that e-money will ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to support the Minister. But I have a problem with what she has just said. When she says that, by us indicating that they will be 30, it does not limit that particular number, it worries me because we have gone ahead and created the Fourth Schedule, in which we are very specific. We have said: "Organisations to choose representatives to the Reference Group". So, since they are named in the Schedule, anybody who does not appear on that Schedule will be a stranger! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying ... view

• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to speak, not on my proposed amendment but the amendment by Mr. Bett. We now want to use the Floor of this House, when you are the chairman, to erect points of contention that will slowly build up in the public and eventually become big issues. If we think that we have not sufficiently consulted, either as a Ministry or the Departmental Committee, there is room for us to pause and allow for consultation. I support this amendment because if we drop those two, we shall have created room for us to ... view
