• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to confirm that it is not only the four schools in Butere that have not received tuition funds. In fact, over six schools in my constituency have not, up to now, received these funds. As you are aware, there have been conflicting statements March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 359 from the Ministry of Education to the effect that classes which do not have 45 pupils enroled will not qualify for tuition funds. We have also heard denials from the Minister that, in fact, this is not true. Could the Minister, once and for ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with the good professor, because by appointing this committee he is doing too little too late. The credibility of the KNEC is now rated at zero. The Minister has not even addressed the issue of examinations leakage, which occurs before students sit for examinations. It is high time he addressed all the issues connected to the KNEC, so that the credibility of that institution is restored. The KNEC is a great shame to this nation! view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I stand here to support the Motion on the Address by His Excellency the President from the Chair. Let me also, as it is the tradition, thank the people of Mwingi South for electing me for the third time. Certainly, this confirms that they have confidence in me and I will definitely do my best to serve them. Let me also, and I think it is not late, congratulate all my colleagues for having been elected to this august House. I am sure we ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that we have passed the National Accord and Reconciliation Bill, I think we owe ourselves some congratulations for taking very positive measures towards reconciling our nation. All I want to say this evening is that I am reminded--- This Tenth Parliament will go on record as having taken a bold step which will go a long way in eturning this country to normalcy. I do hope that those who will be lucky to get responsibilities of leading Ministries will move with expediency to ensure that Kenyans live peacefully. We do not want to ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. I hope that I will not be repetitive. I would like to talk about three things. First, I would like to talk about the issue of pensions. As you are aware, in the year 2003, this House passed the Pensions (Amendment) Act, 2003. I want to fault the Minister for Finance for failing to implement this Act, which this House passed. The House amended Clause 16(a) to read as follows:- "A person to whom a pension or other allowance is payable under this Act shall be ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. Coming from an ASAL district, I want to differ with my very good friend, hon. Wetangula, who has opposed this Motion, perhaps, because he does not come from an ASAL August 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3533 district and, therefore, does not know the kind of problems that are prevailing in those areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the majority of the poor in this country live in ASAL districts, and these are areas with a high potential for development. Perhaps, for historical reasons, successive governments have ... view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Tobacco Control Bill and approved the same with amendments. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support the Motion. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister and his staff for the very good work they are doing, particularly with regard to Rural Electrification Programme (REP). We know where we are coming from. We know that the area of rural electrification has been neglected for a long time. It is gratifying to see that, over the last two years, the Ministry of Energy has stepped up its efforts to ensure that rural electrification is not only revived, but it is put in ... view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. At least, hon. Members can, for once, allow me to represent my people of Mwingi South. I stand here to support this Motion. July 31, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2853 Let me start by commending the Minister and her staff for the work that they have done, and that they continue to do in many areas. We know where we are coming from. We know that not too long ago, we had run-down health facilities. We know that we had health facilities without drugs and, I want, particularly, to commend the Ministry for the ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. From the outset, I support the Motion. This is my tenth year of standing here to support the Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. I visited the library this morning and looked at the HANSARD of last year. My contribution, sort of, followed the lines of my friend, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry. I even donated the Kshs7 million that I got to Mr. Kimunya. But I am sorry to say that this year is no better than last year! But ... view
