• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, I was actually interrupted when I was still making my contribution. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to repeat what I said. I want to thank the Government for the first time for making it very clear that our chiefs and assistant chiefs are not going home and that their jobs are protected. That is because those people play a very critical role in this Republic. There is one group of people that is always forgotten. These are village elders. For avoidance of doubt, knowing and aware of the important role that they play, I ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I want to thank the hon. Minister for bringing this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is destination in Africa and it is absurd to note that some countries do not allow our direct flight from Kenya. I was in Israel in 2010 and they raised serious concerns about our airports. They said that the exit and passengers coming in mix without vetting or checking. Therefore, the issue of security, I believe, is going to be addressed. Therefore, I support. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Report. I do not know Mr. Halakhe in person, but looking at his credentials, I think that this is a man who is very qualified and I believe that he will save this country. We are aware of what is going on in the Commission. They do not have an active chairman as we speak today. Without a CEO also, the operations are paralyzed. This view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the report of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology on the consideration of the nomination of the chairperson and members of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 2nd January, 2013. The TSC is a very important Commission, being an independent Commission under the new Constitution. It deals with issues on the management of teachers who ensure and assure quality. Therefore, it is a very important Commission for this country. Under the new Teacher Service ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: I am coming there, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was trying to explain why I dissented, in the first place, to interview those people. However, at the end of the day, we carried out the interviews and our report recommends the Chair as indicated and the three members as indicated. I just wanted Kenyans to know why I dissented. I beg to move and call my good friend, Mr. Njuguna, from Lari to second. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by thanking hon. Members for their contributions and, especially, those who now share my concerns. My understanding and the implication of this - and that is why I really needed this House to tell us - is that Dr. Nzomo is the CEO of Kenya Institute of Education (KIE). My understanding is that by by-passing that, we would be actually saying that she is guilty of the offence and, therefore, she should actually step aside from wherever she is now. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate your ruling, but looking at this Question and being aware that we are coming to the end of our term, could you consider asking the Minister for Finance to give us some details maybe at the Order on Statements so that we, as hon. Members, could prepare ourselves to know whether we actually are going to spend this money or not? view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also thank the Minister for the good news. But aware that earlier the Minister had given an undertaking to release this money by 30th of November, and now it is coming in January, could he indicate to this House that he has liased with his colleague to ensure that this is utilized up to latest 4th March and not 14th of January. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to sincerely thank the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister for giving us that Statement on tributes to the Tenth Parliament. Many a times when you listen to what goes on outside there you wonder whether anybody really recognizes and appreciates what this honourable House has done. Sometimes I even think that the Executive does not consider and look at how much this Parliament has done. This year alone, if my recollection is correct, we have been able to pass over 100 Bills as compared to only 17 Bills in--- view
