• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Honestly, the Assistant Minister does not seem to have been ready to tackle the issues in the petition, because the things he is telling us are not even answering a number of the queries raised in the petition, especially questions raised by more than three hon. Members about what each doctor has been offered. What he is telling us about the Kshs40,000 is what has been offered to the administrators and the Director of Medical Services, that is officers on Job Group S. That is why doctors are living in servant ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank the Chairman of the Committee for giving me this chance to second this Motion on the Report of the Committee on the appointment of the CEO of the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret. It must be noted that the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, serves a very wide catchment area which includes most of the western part of Kenya, the North Rift and all the way up to Turkana. In its current establishment, it is smaller than what is expected of it. It needs to be expanded ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you consider your ruling on this, perhaps we need to take cognizance of the kind of hype of the issue to the public through the media and all those political players. I would submit that it will be prudent for us to get on with the issue. Let the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government present what he has got, because left for too long, it is heightening political temperatures out there. We, as the honourable House, are, therefore, obligated to diffuse that kind of political temperature. I think ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to keep on saying that this is a pilot project? This programme has been on pilot for very long. They should get the necessary data to roll it out countrywide and, in any case, what criteria did they use because when you look at the poverty indices in the country, you will see that they are not covering where most poor people are. Is it in order to continue with a pilot project that is causing discrimination in the country? Have you not got results from ... view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, it is not new although it is related. In view of what I would call the filibustering that went on in order not to allow the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government to read the Statement--- As I said earlier, this issue has been emotive in the public domain. In view of that and the fact that it might be repeated on Wednesday, would I be in order to ask that you emphasise the rules of the House, that debate in this House should not be taken out of the House until Wednesday when we redebate ... view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to use unspecific terms like “identifying a lion and neutralizing it”? That term is very ambiguous. It does not really say what he means. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Kenyan Delegation to the 124th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) held in Panama City, Panama, on 15th April, 2011 to 20th April, 2011 laid on the Table on 12th October, 2011. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support this Motion. What we are dealing with here in better terms can be called a very absurd situation. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue here is very simple. When President Kibaki started running the Government of Kenya (GoK), one of his major declarations was free primary education. That meant he had the Kenyans’ welfare at heart. This is a situation where somebody is trying to sabotage the President’s legacy. The President talked of free primary education and not free primary attendance. If it means we are going to take our children to primary and secondary schools just to school for purpose of attending school, but without getting education, then that defeats the whole purpose of ... view
