• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I actually allowed the Member for Emgwen, because we share the same problem to confirm that truly these teachers have not receive the payments. I heard the Assistant Minister say that he is not aware and that he needs to go and check. It will not be in order for him to table a document that may not be truthful. For us to confirm that he tabled the right document and that the money was actually paid, I plead with you that you defer this Question, so that he can come back with a comprehensive answer to ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I ask the last question, I want to appreciate your concerns and sentiments. I want to confirm here that this Question came on 12th October, 2011 and I thanked the Assistant Minister for wiring the money because it was done in only two days. However, I am confirming now that 16 days down the line, my concern is that the teachers are yet to receive the money. I will really appreciate if he confirms that this payment actually reached the teachers. We are talking about teachers who have not received these honoraria for one-and-a-half years. It ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. Part “b” of the Question is asking the Assistant Minister what he is doing, especially in the small markets in the rural areas where videos are being shown. The Assistant Minister has talked about shortage of staff. How often does your staff go round market places to check what is going on and, if they do, how many have been arrested? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was here from the word “go”. The excuse that the Assistant Minister gave is shortage of staff. He said that he has asked for Kshs17 million to employ extra staff so that they are able to do the job. He did not indicate how often his officers visit market places in the rural areas and, if they do so, how many have been arrested. Is he in order to avoid answering the question? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As indicated earlier, this issue is in the public domain. Kenyans want to understand what is going on. They want to know its status. In order for us to interrogate it and come up with the best way forward, there is one document you are yet to give direction on – the document from the World Bank – and you have indicated that you are going to give direction tomorrow on the same. Would I, therefore, be in order to request that you, first of all, give us that direction tomorrow, so ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the status report from the World Bank. Some hon. Members are calling it “audit” but I have refused to accept the use of that word. I am referring to the interim report from the World Bank on the status of the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support this Bill. I also want to sincerely thank the Minister for bringing it before this House. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are in a very dynamic society. What goes on in our schools is book learning or book knowledge. Without practice, it is very difficult for one to confirm that he has actually gone through education and got fully trained to ensure effectiveness in our places of work. I want to thank the Kenyan Government for having initiated programmes that our Kenyan civil servants are able to go through as a way of building their capacity. I am also aware that the Kenya Government has been in the forefront in helping Southern Sudan to put ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the best way to learn is through practical skills in particular jobs. Work experience is part of learning. One learns more after finding himself in a position to serve. Many a times, as a nation, we have admired what goes on in the private sector. At some point, the Government felt that by attracting what we referred to as the “dream team” from the private sector, we were going to change this nation. The truth of the matter is that we need to learn from the private sector. But the real performers in the private ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want again to indicate that the private sector injects a lot into research and innovation. They do not just wake up one morning and initiate a programme that, after one year, you discover that it was a failure. Normally, they are very careful in starting any programme. That institution should ensure that the research department is empowered to ensure that there is enough research on any new programme. That will ensure that we start programmes that are going to succeed. Lately, we have seen the innovations in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT). As ... view
