• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: is my humble request that we reduce the time to a maximum of five minutes for each Member speaking, so that we can have as many Members as possible contributing to this debate. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion as further amended. First, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for listening. Just like the Reverend knows in the Bible, Saul on the way to Damascus changed and become Paul. So, I want to thank you Reverend for that.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I have been looking at the way they distributed the Kshs3billion. The Office of the Auditor-General is very critical and so we agree with the Ksh1billion. We have had many cases where the Auditor-General has been complaining that he has a shortage of manpower. When it comes to county issues we know very well that there has been devolution. However, corruption has also been devolved heavily to the counties. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is the case of Narok County. I remember this issue coming up at the Senate. When the Auditor-General’s Office was required to report it could not comply within the timeframe because of shortage of money. So, it is in good faith because this amount of money is going to add value in as far as issues of corruption are concerned. We had wished the entire amount to go to CDF, but we want to appreciate the little that we have been given because CDF has done so much in this country. We have seen many schools built ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: How I wish this Committee listened to hon. Wamunyinyi’s recommendation. This is because when you look at the ceiling that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has been given vis-a-vis issues of their performance, you realise that their performance has been below average. When you look at the critical areas of SRC, one of the issues that are being funded is foreign travel. We also saw the issue of training. Up to now, this body does not even have the remuneration policy in place. So, it will have been nice as we move on to have a further amendment so ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: My humble request to the Budget and Appropriations Committee is to make further amendments, so that we can reduce the ceiling of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). I want to thank the Committee for the allocation that has been given to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). The PSC is very critical as far as the legislative agenda is concerned. I know the Members are here. Some of their offices are not well equipped. If we give more money to the PSC, it is going to help in terms of the welfare of parliamentarians. We are going to improve in ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: they have the capacity to finish those Bills. We do not need the extension of the term of the CIC. On the issue of the centres of excellence, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee. In many constituencies, projects for the establishment of centres of excellence were abandoned. They were not completed. This money is going to help us to finish the projects that had already been initiated by our predecessors, so that the centres of excellence can be used in terms of value addition. However, I would have wished more money to be allocated for safety nets. ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Article 35 (1) (a) of the Constitution provides for the right of access to information held by the State; further aware that the education sector has recently been marred by confusion and unnecessary anxiety due to the abolishment of the ranking system in national examinations; concerned that this action by the Ministry of Education was arrived at without due consultation with all relevant stakeholders including Kenya Union of Post- Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the parent associations, investors in the sector ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it has been a tradition that after examinations, ranking is done. However, looking at the approach that was used by Prof. Kaimenyi, whom I respect very much, I can say here that his was not a participatory approach. We have heard an outcry and many complaints from KNUT and pupils that the ranking system should be reversed. The ranking system motivates students. It has also motivated the teachers.Whatever you do, you want to know how you have performed. I want to quote some professors in the Harvard Business School - that is Prof. Kaplan and Prof. ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ranking is done everywhere. view
