Amesema anataka anione nikijetetea kidogo kidogo. Nikiweza ataongea, na akiona kinanilemea basi ataondoka. Ninajua watu wangu wa Kiminini wanafurahi kwa sababu wanasikia na wanaelewa Kiswahili. Wale wako nyumbani vile vile wanafurahi wakisikia tunaongea kiswahili. Watu wengi nchini wanaelewa Kiswahili. Tunaiomba ile Kamati yetu ya Bajeti kwamba ikileta Bajeti ya Ziada hapa, lazima tutenge pesa ili zitumike katika ujenzi wa hospitali ya rufaa. Hatutaki tupitishe Hoja hii na ikose kutekelezwa.Nilikuwa na mengi ya kusema lakini wacha nikomee hapo ili wengine vile vile waongee. Ninashukuru Mhe. Mohamed Ali kwa kuleta hii Hoja. Ninaunga mkono. Ahsanteni sana.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand here to represent the great party of FORD-Kenya. I want to register our thanks to the two leaders who have come together. I would like to quote Martin Luther King Jr., who once said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. Hon. Speaker, this country was going down as far as economic growth is concerned. We as NASA are solidly behind the dialogue. However, we want to stress that we want the dialogue to ...

The Leader of the Minority Party went through memory lane. The GDP of this country during the KANU days was at a negative rate. When President Kibaki came to power, he introduced something called the Economic Recovery Strategy (ERS) where the GDP became positive two. It went up to 8 per cent. Because of that post-election violence, we went down. We do not want this country to go down. Elections come and go. I was at the airport to welcome His Excellency Raila Amollo Odinga when he was coming from abroad. I saw teargas. I almost died The electronic version ...

and my children are very small. I thank God I survived. Many people lost their lives on that day. Property was destroyed. It is my humble prayer as we discuss about this dialogue that a framework will be put in place to compensate those people.

This country needs healing. I hope the dialogue is going to be honest. William Shakespeare said that there is no rich legacy like honesty. I hope we are not going to play each other. We are in this issue together. In this issue, we are there with honesty. From the NASA Coalition, I want to confirm that all the political parties – FORD-Kenya, Wiper, ANC and ODM - support dialogue. A time comes where you must forget about the bygones and move on. This is the time. The welfare of a country is mutually exclusive with political rhetoric. This is ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I contribute on this, first I want to thank Hon. Sossion for bringing this Adjournment Motion. As I speak, one of my constituents was murdered in Wajir. I buried that teacher over the weekend. So it is an issue of interest. It is not just what happened in Wajir but the teachers who died have people feeling more pain. So I come here today with a heavy heart because I lost a constituent. I went and buried him. The Government promised to cater for transport and burial costs but, unfortunately, whatever they delivered was zero. ...

Under Article 29 of the Constitution, it is very clear that every person has a right to security, including that teacher who is teaching in Wajir and that learner in Wajir. It is painful. I know once you register with the TSC you are told you can work anywhere. But you go there to provide services yet you are murdered. The TSC has a delocalisation policy which I support. In such areas where teachers are not being provided with security, they should do away with the delocalisation policy so that people from that particular community are given priority to teach ...
