• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On the issue of the cost of treating, it is not an issue, because the police will establish who shot the victim. As of now, the police are still investigating. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I want to make an appeal through the hon. Member that this is a gazetted area. It is a dangerous area. I want to appeal to him to prevail upon his constituents to avoid this area when live ammunition is being fired. We have continued to alert the Provincial Administration, politicians and elders to inform these people whenever we start training. It would be of much help to the Government and also the community, if the area residents ensure that they keep away from this area during the training period. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to say that I support the Motion. In supporting it, I want to echo the words of previous speakers who have spoken and urged all of us that we leave aside partisan politics when it comes to passing the laws that are ahead of us. We have many Bills which are coming up and it is only through us not being partisan that we are going to be able to pass them ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, particularly I want to address myself to the issue of infrastructure. Perhaps, the only Government Ministry that can be applauded for evenly distribution of infrastructure is the Ministry of Energy. I believe the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) has done a commendable job. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Wherever you go, you will find rural electrification going on. However, we are talking about roads infrastructure. The President talked about it. Yes, it is a good thing. We have good roads coming up in the cities and some rural areas. It is good to have this infrastructure. However, these roads that everybody is talking about are not to be found in Turkana. They are not found in Mwingi and North Eastern Province. They are just concentrated in some areas. As long as the Government does not consider fair distribution of resources and development, we cannot claim to have reached ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also reminded about shortage of teachers. I have been in my constituency. I went round and took stock of the number of teachers in both primary and secondary schools and you will be surprised. Despite this, when the Minister for Education starts allocating places in July/August, he will do it as if all areas are the same. I want to challenge the Minister for Education to state the shortfall of teachers per constituency, so that we are able to see which constituencies have no teachers. I am speaking about this very passionately because ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, as we move to devolution, there is one class of politicians that we appear to have forgotten; councillors. Some councillors have been serving this nation for decades as councillors. We are about to replace this class of politicians with another class called county representatives. I believe these are likely to be fewer. Inevitably, many councillors will remain without any jobs and nothing to do. That is not important. What is important is that these people have served the nation. There is nothing we are saying about how they will transit from county councillors to ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The number of persons recently recruited to the Kenya Defence Forces cannot be disclosed for security reasons. For this reason, I wish to invoke Standing Order No. 43(11). Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the Member for Gwassi. However, as it should be appreciated, matters of the Defence Forces are not to be discussed openly. For this reason, I still maintain that it will not be prudent and in national interest to discuss numbers and the gender of recruits to the Defence Forces. Yesterday, you will recall, there was a Question regarding recruits to teacher training colleges. We cannot equate the recruitment of members of the Defence Forces to other institutions. This is bound to disclose figures and strength of the military which is not in the national ... view
