• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the House to rise above what we did this morning. When you go through the draft, you find that security issues of this country have been put on the back banner. We cannot purport to make a good Constitution for this country, when we have not taken care of security issues. Without security, this country does not exist. We need to do something about that and I beg the hon. Members to support this amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House that tissue culture necessarily comes from foetuses? Tissue view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member contributing to this debate right to say “the so-called gynaecologists”? view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to say that there were doctors in attendance in that meeting and yet the Kenya Medical Association (KMA) and the Medical and Dental Professionals Board (MDPB) were not involved? Which association of doctors is she talking about? view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Dr. Khalwale for bringing this petition to this House. The squatters in Trans Nzoia are not just simple squatters. These are people who have been displaced originally from their land, maybe, in Mt. Elgon and other places. Maybe, they are also descendants of squatters from the original White Highlands. Over the years, the Government has been unable to settle them and none of them has ever received any land from the three regimes we have had. We do pray that in this particular time these squatters will be looked upon kindly and given some of ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The answer given by the Assistant Minister is very unsatisfactory. The points of order have been very specific. The shortage they were trying to address in recruiting the 12,000 teachers was very big. This is over 60,000. What measures have they put in place? He has not been very specific in his answers. Right now, we are faced with--- view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This issue of examination results seems to be a recurring problem. Despite your previous ruling that any Committee can take up any matter, I would like you to make a ruling that this matter be referred to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to deal with it comprehensively. This issue is recurring and children are being left not sure of their future. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I do appreciate the answer given by the Minister, which I believe was quite professional, I would like him to clarify the following: A report by Prof. Gilbert Ogutu of 1982 on the causes of sudden death of fish is about 30 years old. Both of us being professionals, could the Minister clarify whether a report of 30 years ago is still valid today in its entirety or could there be some new causes of sudden death of fish? view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one of the largest projects ever implemented in western Kenya by the World Bank to the tune of over Kshs6 billion. Only Kshs600 million had been disbursed that far. By the time of the suspension of this programme, the World Bank was actually happy with the performance of the programme. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I wish to table here a letter from the World Bank showing that it was actually entirely satisfied with the performance of the programme. The suspension of this programme was by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance unilaterally. Could the Minister now confirm that actually it is a witchhunt with serious ethnic overtones in the sense that somebody is displeased by the fact that this programme employs Luos and Luhyas as per the terms of reference of this programme? view
