• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for confirming that he is going to post an officer to Kabiyet.

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, music is not an extra-curricular activity. It is a core curricular activity meaning that it is mandatory that the children of the Republic of Kenya are given an opportunity to participate in music and explore their talents. This House having realized that this money given for Free Primary Education (FPE) is not enough, resolved and passed that this amount be doubled so that the children of the Republic of Kenya can access and actually go through and acquire quality education. This Government has committed itself to giving FPE to our children. Now that from Turkana to ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When this matter came to the Floor of the House two weeks ago, the Government confirmed to the House through the HANSARD that the Government had communicated; it had written a letter and I requested the Chair to defer this Question so that that letter is tabled before the House. Today, the Government is running away from a commitment that they made in the House. I seek your indulgence for direction on the same. Is it that the Government is now withdrawing the first statement that they had actually written a ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to hon. Sonko, he has made very serious allegations that some Members of Parliament and police officers have met their death. Could he substantiate that for the House? view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. First of all, I want to appeal to those who give advice to His Excellency the President. One of the reasons given – a court case – is so dangerous for this House that in future, it will be very easy for anybody to go to court to stop a matter that is procedurally before the House. Secondly, the wisdom behind this amendment then was that we are in a transition. My good colleagues who are now partyless did not contemplate it. It is courtesy of the transition that we are in. We wanted ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to support this amendment. I want to make it very clear to my colleagues that this amendment does not in any way allow a member of a political party to go and nominate a member of another political party. We have not opened that. All that this is saying is that this independent candidate who may be an independent candidate based on other reasons--- In our Constitution we are envisaging a situation and a time in this country when each and every voter shall be a member of a political party. If we are in ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have just made it very clear that we are envisaging a situation whereby we shall have all Kenyans being members of political parties. We are talking about just a simple advantage of an independent candidate at the nomination. The truth of the matter is after nomination all the candidates shall now go out and seek for support from Kenyans across the divide not from their own political parties. I want to plead with my colleagues that this amendment does not in any way open up the window to discourage or spoil. In any case it is ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to say much, but I want to support this and remind the Minister that he should--- If this is what has been keeping him from releasing the money to schools, he should do it like yesterday. I support. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me first of all, to sincerely thank the Minister for having fast tracked the introduction of this Bill to this House. There has been a lot of agitation out there because the management and the running of the TSC, at the moment is in jeopardy unless we pass this Bill. Allow me to also thank the Minister for the many Bills that are in the pipeline. I want to say and confirm that this is one very active Minister that we have worked with as a Committee. The TSC is a very ... view
