• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, following a report by the Kenya Airways safety auditor in which it had been alleged that the pavements were being repaired using murram only, a joint inspection was carried out on 2nd November, 2006, by the Kenya Airways Chief Pilot, Ministry of Transport Chief Accident Investigator and the Kenya Airports Authority Staff. This inspection noted that the repairs that had earlier been carried out had left the surface uneven. It was, therefore, agreed that the Kenya Airports Authority would carry out repair works such that the runway is safe for aircraft operations for the next 15 months ... view

• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to begin by saying that I was once a university student. During the last UASU strike, I was then a students leader. We joined the lecturers in their struggle and hoped that this was going to come to an end. It is unfortunate that this is happening again. However, I watched my former lecturer, Dr. Muga K'Olale, who taught me philosophy and in whose class I realised that I had a political mind and interest, demanding for a rise in his ... view
• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to rise and support this Sessional Paper on Gender Equality and Development. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me begin from the outset by congratulating the Ministry of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services for the excellent job that they are doing towards ensuring gender equity in this country. We have, over the years, moved from dealing with women in development to dealing with gender and development, the reason being that women in development programmes have further marginalised women instead of bringing them into the mainstream processes. As ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I wish to begin by first thanking the Minister for the Budget, which I think was well-balanced, except for a few issues. I think, it is a major step forward in terms of transparency in how money is allocated. I wish to say that I am extremely happy about the allocation of Kshs1 billion to the Youth Enterprise Fund. I think for a very long time, young people have been without anyone to look up to. The youth in Kenya have ended up being very frustrated and depressed, ... view

• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead the House that this Bill does not define the term "rape" when it is properly defined in Clause 3? view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is misleading this House. We know in the universities that there are some lecturers who tell female students that if they want to get "As" they have to sleep with them. That is an offence. That is what we are talking about. However, we have no problem with lecturers getting wives from the students. We have a problem with them pegging examination results to sex. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support this Motion. Before I start my contribution, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate hon. Martha Karua, for being appointed the Deputy Leader of Government Business. To us, this is a great development and we look forward to one day having a woman as the Leader of Government Business. This is a good beginning for us and we are very proud. I want to dwell mainly on issues relating to the youth of this country. I do this ... view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our youths have suffered for many years. At the time of Independence, young people went to school and they were told: "Someni vijana na mwisho wakusoma, mtapata kazi nzuri sana". I heard that song every single morning before I went to school and that made me want to read very hard. I believed that after reading, I was going to get a good March 29, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 159 job. Today, you read, get your first and second degrees and you do not get a job. At Independence, young people found jobs waiting for them. ... view
