• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to raise an issue about the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). We are getting a raw deal from them because they even call upon us to give out a share of the CDF kitty, so that they can extend loans to our children. I do not know how the programme was visualized, but I believe they have their allocation from the Budget, which they should give to needy children. The mistake they are making is that they are not getting the right children who need to get this money. They are giving the money to everybody across the ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), also has its weaknesses. A case in point is where a child misplaces his or her certificates and then he is told that he can only get a replacement after six months, yet the child is supposed to be reporting somewhere the following day. Is it that they do not have a system that can reproduce certificates? Why do they take that long? The organization there is quite analogue. They still have a lot of paperwork. They should try to update their systems in order to assist people as fast as possible. This is ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, let me finish by saying that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) should also look at the shortage and distribution of teachers in this country. You find that most urban schools have got excess staff, because people tend to post their friends, relatives and people they know to where there are good roads, houses and electricity. The marginalized schools with the neediest children in this country do not have teachers, because not many teachers are willing to go to teach in areas where there are no good roads and guaranteed security; this is the current situation in north eastern region. ... view

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the Committee’s proposal to add a paragraph on the promotion of citizen contractors, so that we can promote our people in doing contracts and other businesses in Kenya.

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment as it is in the Order Paper because it is specific and not ambiguous. It is also indicating that we are dealing with the Laws of Kenya and, therefore, those other jurisdictions which do not comply with our laws have to be fitted to conform to our Constitution and laws. view

• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Motion on the Special Report of PIC. As I said in the morning, the idea of re-capitalization and privatization of Telkom Kenya Limited was reached at a Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet had agreed on it. The telecommunications industry in Kenya had been overtaken by events because the fixed lines had become obsolete. Modern technology had brought in the mobile lines which everyone had, and the competition became too much. At the end of the day, there was an investment which the Government had put in ... view
