• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are talking about the Government’s commitment to ensure literacy among its population. We are talking about Kenyans who have offered themselves to assist in providing literacy to the elderly of this Republic. In fact, the Assistant Minister has not even apologized to those teachers who have been working for one year and three months without pay and yet, he is talking about a policy change. Am I in order to request that this Question be deferred so that the Assistant Minister could go back and ensure that all policy ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Ministry for this move and I hope they can fast-track the arrival of these driers. The Assistant Minister has confirmed that we have driers in the North Rift, but right now, the farmers are being turned back with their maize because of the moisture content. Could he direct the NCPB to accept the maize and allow the farmers to use the driers, so that the cost of transporting the maize to and fro is avoided? view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. In doing so, let me start by sincerely thanking the Members of this august House for having ensured that we sat beyond normal sitting time to be able to pass all the Bills.

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, secondly, I am thankful for the very success story that we have had, as a country, this year.

I urge the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs to put in more money and focus in the Sports Department; as a country. That is one department that is taking us high up internationally. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: I only have one concern about our athletes going out. When they were in Daegu, this august House was not represented, yet we are the representatives of the people. I urge that during international and very important championships, we have, at least one or two hon. Members out there representing this august House, and, maybe, even bring a report to this House informing us of what went on for adoption by the House. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, some challenges that need serious attention have already been mentioned. One of them is the high cost of living. This is an area that should form the first agenda in all Cabinet meetings starting now because it is a serious time bomb. Today, you cannot go to a supermarket with Ksh1,000 and buy two items. Remember that very many Kenyans cannot even make Kshs1,000 a day. So, it is important that we seriously address this issue of the high cost of living. Many Kenyans have even sacrificed their lunch. They take breakfast and supper only. Of ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On the money for roads, I want to indicate that some parts of this country have been blessed with a lot of rains this year. As a result, many roads are impassable. So, I urge the Minister for Roads to release roads money immediately, so that we can utilize it immediately the rains subside. view
