• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, research is very important and key for this country. The proposal to add Kshs300 million to the National Council for Science and Technology is a wonderful proposal although, as a country, we must invest more in research, so that we can move this country forward. I look forward to a time when we shall give them, at least, Kshs3 billion. I was in Germany last week and found that they give Kshs1.1 trillion to research programmes in their country, and we are talking of less than Kshs1 billion in Kenya. view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that some regulations are not clear when in Butali Sugar Company the investor was given all the requirements and he adhered to them. In fact, the foundation stone was laid by His Excellency the President, but when it came to getting the licence to operate, he was frustrated for one full year. Is he in order to mislead the House? Is the Government really serious in ensuring that they are committed to helping investors to come and invest in Kenya? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the performance of the Ministry of Education is dependent on the motivation and hard work by teachers. Where teachers feel that they are being unfairly treated courtesy of the fact that in one area of the same environment, teachers are being paid hardship and others are not, that affects the performance of the teachers. That problem is not only in that area. It cuts across the Republic of Kenya. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The Minister for Education cannot run away if he sincerely wants to tell this House that he is ready to perform to the best of his ability. I want to thank you for deferring this Question, but I want to add that the Minister should come with a comprehensive answer to ensure that he deals with all those cases once and for all, so that we do not have many other Questions coming to the Floor of the House. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to the answer from the Assistant Minister, you may think he is talking about private schools. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question is specific to public schools which fall squarely on the Republic of Kenya and the Government of Kenya. This Ministry has lost so many schools to private investors courtesy of the “do not care attitude” towards helping the children in public schools. Could the Assistant Minister, now that he is indicating that the power is vested in Parliament, consider being the father of those children, go out there, get all the information and bring this issue to Parliament for approval, so that those schools can actually enjoy the benefit of having land that ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Sir, the Assistant Minister is referring to frustrations. All these schools have been writing letters and they are being frustrated. He keeps on referring to and pointing at the Minister for Lands, and also to the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife. Would I be in order to request that this House be informed by the two Ministers, so that this issue is handled once and for all? They are here and they are Kenyans. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for the direction, but you will note that the Assistant Minister actually did indicate that he was not going to answer the Question. Could you, kindly, guide us on who is now going to answer this very important Question? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same note, you notice that as the Assistant Minister was walking out, he kept on throwing his hands up. By refusing to answer this Question--- Would I be in order to move that he be named under Standing Order No. 97? view
