• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities:- (a) what projects TARDA has funded in Kirinyaga District to date; and, (b) what the value of these projects is. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, and also, Mr. G.G. Kariuki, for allowing me to contribute towards this Motion, which is very important to me. This Motion should even have come earlier. It should have come in 1963! It seems that many people were not interested in it at that time, maybe, due to the rate of poverty that the landless are suffering now. It is coming at a time when the landlords have grabbed land and marginalized very many people. For example, we have very many landless squatters living on the roadside in Central Province. Just ... view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most children who come from such areas really have problems. I expected the Assistant Minister to tell us that he is thinking of making sure that all students in such areas become boarders. What steps is the Ministry taking to make sure that those students who cannot access secondary schools are made boarders so that facilities can be rendered to them equally? view
• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not the Member of Parliament for Ndia but Kerugoya- Kutus. Ndia is different! However, you will note that the university cut-off point is very frustrating. Could the Assistant assure us that in future, we will have more students being admitted to public universities so that even teachers can be motivated to teach? This is because the current cut-off point of B+ and above is very frustrating. view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that most of the youth polytechnics are run down due to unavailability of staff, is the Minister convinced that the 700 instructors who will be recruited will be enough to be distributed equitably all over the countryside, noting that the polytechnics need more than the 700 instructors that are going to be recruited? view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he is aware that roads in Kerugoya Township are in a deplorable condition; and, (b) what plans he has to upgrade the roads in the township to bitumen standards. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that very nice answer, although I do not have a written response. Could the Assistant Minister tell us when the Kshs30 million will be availed, so that works could start? Experience has shown that many times, when promises are made here, nothing happens on the ground. I want to know exactly when those works will start. I am talking about tarmacking and not gravelling. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that November will start next week - he has said that work will start in November - what has been started now, so that we can know something will happen in Kerugoya Town? It is a town that has been neglected for quite sometime. I am not very optimistic that something will happen, given the short time that is remaining. What preparations are you putting in place, so that I can come next week and get the money? view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Minister for successfully tabling the Motion. I would also like to thank the officers in charge of the Ministry for steering the Ministry to greater heights since the NARC Government took over in 2003. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we see as the Ministry of Education is, to a very great extent, a contradiction of principles and values. What I see and what many hon. Members here see is that, when the NARC Government took over, they announced immediately that there will be free primary ... view
