• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the new Standing Orders, we, as hon. Members, are expected to scrutinize the Budget and interrogate the same. So, this is a special adjournment, whereby the hon. Members of various Departmental Committees will move into Committees so that they are able to find enough time to discuss and deliberate on this. This, therefore, means that Ministers and Assistant Ministers will be relatively free to visit other parts of the country. I encourage our Ministers in this Government to move out and inspect the projects that fall under their Ministries. We have been talking about ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to fully support this Motion. I want to sincerely thank Mr. Kaino for bringing it forward. Education is key to any family and child of this country. It is the wish of every citizen and parent in this country that their children get quality education. It is always the wish of every family that their children get opportunities in schools where there are facilities. It goes without saying that our national schools rank first in terms of having almost all the required facilities in this country. During our ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The concern that we have today is that the state of our public primary and secondary schools is wanting in terms of development. Most schools are poorly constructed. Some of the buildings are made of mud and yet as a country, we keep talking about realizing the Vision 2030. We cannot talk of realizing Vision 2030 if at that time, we shall still be having some of our schools made of mud. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of our public primary schools are seriously under-staffed. These are the schools where the children of the poor go to. It is ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the maize in the NCPB depots is bought from farmers in this country. Some of these depots are located in the same area the Government bought the maize. In some of the areas, people do not have maize and they would like to buy it. Could the Assistant Minister reconsider his position? Sometimes it is painful to the local people when they know that there is maize in the depots but they cannot access it. Could the Assistant Minister reconsider selling part of the maize to the people in the locality? view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a depot at Kipkaren which is in my constituency. The maize in the NCPB stores was bought from farmers in the area.

• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Twenty nine years is a long time ago. I have listened to the Assistant Minister. He expects the hon.

• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) is a very important body for this country. It was formed to stop corruption and that is the job that we want to see it doing. As I stand to support this Motion, I want to say that corruption in this country is still high. Two members of the KACC cannot change the situation in this country. We must come and think of reconstituting the whole KACC. The two people mentioned here have been out of KACC for ... view

• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the introduction of the free primary funds and free day secondary funds is a noble decision by this Government, and it should be applauded. But the delay in the release of this money has caused a lot of problems in schools. Could the Minister confirm to this House that the delay in the release of these funds has compromised the quality of education? What is he going to do to ensure that in future, the release of these funds is not done one month after the schools have opened? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Minister enumerate very well the procedures and the requirements to be followed in order to convert a day view
