• 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.

• 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.

• 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
