• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Obviously, you realise that the House is quite empty. I imagine the hon. Members must be lobbying. So, I wish them all the best. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that you will realise that the new hon. Members are not very clear on the House rules. They cross the Floor and come in when you are on your feet because they have not been oriented. Could you consider orientating them as soon as possible, so March 20, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 311 that they can learn the rules of the ... view

• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate the Mover of this Motion, Ms. Ndung'u. The Motion is timely. This being an election year, I wish to concentrate my contribution to the issue of violence against women, particularly those aspiring for political positions in this country. I urge the Government to provide security to such women because they are exercising their democratic rights of participating in election. They want to participate in transacting business in this House next year. Kenyan women have woken up. Next year, they want to fill up this House. No amount of intimidation ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker August 22, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3347 Sir, I stand to support this important Motion, which is long overdue.

I, therefore, hope that this Motion will look into ways of ensuring that early childhood education is mainstreamed into the FPE Programme so that it can benefit by ensuring that there is money for the infrastructure. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important that apart from the infrastructure, we should also take ... view
