Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to recognise the important role that Kenya played in hosting this very important Assembly and also to recognise the valuable participation and contribution of the Kenyan delegation during the general debate of the Assembly whose main theme was: "Promoting democracy and helping to build democratic institutions". The IPU ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he was. I apologise. But if you recall, I said: "Among the following". Therefore, you may be omitted and I apologise inadvertently, but that was not a conclusive list. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was reading the items of the agenda of the conference. The third one was: "The role of Parliaments in the environmental management and in impacting global gradation of the environment". The fourth item was: "How Parliament can and must promote effective ways of combating violence against women in all fields". The Assembly passed numerous resolutions which are highlighted in the appendix of the Report ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another subject discussed by the Assembly has got to do with sustainable development, finance and trade, and the role of Parliament in environmental management and combating global degradation of the environment. Again, a resolution to this effect was unanimously passed by the Assembly. The Report, as tabled, gives the resolutions on democracy and human rights and what Parliament can and must do to promote effective ways of combating violence against women in all fields. The resolution was adopted by consensus by the Assembly and recommendations are contained on pages 29 and 40 of the Report. ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I wish to congratulate the President for his Speech. But before I comment on His Excellency the President's Speech, let me thank you and join my colleagues in thanking you for coming to the defence of hon. 78 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 22, 2007 Members and elaborating the role that we play. Last night, Messrs. Angwenyi, Muturi and I spent the best part of the evening on Nation Television (NTV) trying to convince the Kenyan public that Members of Parliament actually work. However, I regret the perception out there is ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: He should concentrate on fighting devil worship in the PCEA Church and leave us alone. That is all I would like to say because it is such kind of people who have continued to damage the reputation of hon. Members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also thank you for appointing me to a sub-committee to review the Standing Orders, as you mentioned. I want to assure hon. Members of Parliament that we are doing everything possible to ensure that we consult as widely as possible in the task you have given us. I want to urge hon. Members of Parliament ... view

• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I keep reminding hon. Members that I also have a constituency. It is necessary that sometimes I get an advantage. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. First, I would like to support this Motion. I would like to congratulate the Minister for his presentation. However, let me remind my good friend, hon. Katuku, who has alluded to the fact that the Government is not providing free pre-primary education because Kenyans rejected the proposed Constitution. I would like to remind him that this has nothing to do with the Constitution. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will protect me because when hon. Katuku was speaking, I said nothing. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to continue along that line because little did hon. Katuku know that he is arguing with a man who is well versed with the Standing Orders. I want to start by stating the necessity for the Government to introduce free pre-primary education. This has been said and we even approved a Sessional Paper here on this issue. When the Minister stands to respond, I would like him to tell Kenyans exactly when we are going to have free pre-primary education in the country. We should have free education from pre-primary upwards. ... view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that, this time round, when the Minister comes to reply to this Motion, he will address this issue. I listened to him very carefully and for 30 minutes, he never said a word about this issue, despite the fact that it is a matter of great national importance. I would like to request the Minister, when he eventually replies to this Motion, to address this issue squarely. He cannot run away from it, because it is there. A million kids are at home, they cannot access employment and yet we stand up and ... view
