• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate them. view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of late, the Government has been trying to assist schools in development. I am grateful to the Ministry that they have been trying to take care of our national schools. Knowing that some of these contractors have really assisted many of our schools, could the Assistant Minister consider footing the bill as a Ministry? view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought I was very clear. I said; of late, the Ministry has been doing very well assisting in development and improving our schools by giving money to the schools to spend on construction. Given that this is one of the national schools where a majority of our children go to, could the Ministry consider footing the Kshs2 million directly? view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I participate in the activities of the Liaison Committee and I want to thank the Leader of Government Business for the steps he has offered to take. It is unfortunate that while we think that the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (COIC) has done a good job, it is the work of the Back Bench to scrutinize Bills. It is our work to involve the public after the Cabinet; the Government, has presented the Bills. It is unfortunate that this work had to be done by a Committee that is all inclusive of ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am equally shocked because the Government, which believed in the new Constitution--- Devolution means that the people of a region should manage their resources for the benefit of their region. I have listened to the Minister and he has indicated that once the governance at the county level begins to work, those officers will hand over the positions. My question is: If there are 1,000 people in Nandi County who are supposed to hand over, where will they go to? view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. In doing so, I want to thank the CIOC for a job well done. I know, as others have already indicated, there were a lot of Bills before then, but they were still able to find time to vet members of this Board. Again, I want to support it by indicating here that it is a very important Board given that in our country, we have three arms of government, and the Judiciary has been wanting. This Board is expected to vet judges and ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: This Motion could not have come at a better day than today. Today, you are aware that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is on live, I am told, all over the world, and Kenya is being watched from all over the world. Everybody watching that is wondering whether Kenya is a failed state. The reason why our colleagues are there is because everybody felt that the Judiciary in Kenya may not have dispensed justice. The justice that we need is eminent. I want to indicate here that by establishing this Board, we are moving in the right direction to assure ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: I want to thank our athletes for really having made us proud as a nation. In 2008, during the post-election violence, they went to the Olympics and changed the perception of Kenya out there. As the world is watching the ICC, today our two able Kenyans, Asbel Kiprop and Ezekiel Kemboi, gave us two gold medals. I really want to thank them for really helping this country have the name and the glory that we deserve. I, therefore, want to support these people. As earlier on indicated, I want to thank the panel that identified them to ensure that there ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, recently, we passed the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission Bill, which is now an Act of Parliament. I want to indicate here that if the Judiciary is vetted and vetted well to assure justice, and if the police will carry out reforms properly, I want to believe that at some stage, we may not require this other commission. All that we are doing is because the police have failed. So, I want to believe that we shall be able to save the costs we are incurring on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in the near future ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: I just want to make an appeal that as we form these commissions that are going to help this nation, we should always ensure that they are all inclusive, so that every region and community feels represented. I want to agree with the proposal that in relation to the bodies to identify people to do vetting or interviewing, there is need for some reorganization. There is need for information so that if ICPAK, the Office of the Prime Minster and all other offices are giving people, they should be able to declare the names of those people, so that they ... view
