• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.80. There has been a lot of repetition in the debate on this Motion. Could we go by the Standing Orders so that you now put the Question, considering the time? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether he is aware that KEPHIS land and staff houses belonging to Kitale Research Station have been grabbed; (b) whether he could inform the House how many acres of land have been grabbed; and, (c) whether he could table names of the grabbers and state what urgent measures he is going to take to repossess the land. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, I would have expected him to read out the first ten names on the list, in the interest of the public, to know who these grabbers were. The 47 Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) scientists are living in very poor conditions. It is like the Government has neglected their welfare. What steps is he taking to rehabilitate the staff houses at the KARI in Kitale? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had demanded that the Assistant Minister reads the first ten names of the land grabbers in that area. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take time to read it. This KEPHIS land is the hub of researchers who actually determine the Kenya seed quality, especially with regard to maize. How soon is this implementation going to take place? The allocation of this land to private developers was actually executed by the Provincial Administration. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the answer given by the Assistant Minister. Mr. Too was a Director of the CID and he knows that area very well. Why does he want to teach somebody who knows that area very well? Mr. Too says that the police post is situated on a security buffer on a cattle rustling route. What measures is he taking to protect people who are affected by this cattle rustling? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the interest of the House, and noting that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is an important initiative, could we defer this Question? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. Education is the beginning of life. I have looked at this Motion keenly and would like to go back to the old days when students in Kenya used to go to South Africa to do an examination called Matriculation. This was because there was no way forward in this country. There were so December 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4181 many limitations. For so many years, the highest primary education level attainable was Standard Four. At that time there was an examination called Competitive Common Entrance Examination. Some of the ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard what hon. Karaba has said. However, I would wish to elaborate further. When a student goes for a school certificate, he starts to get a taste of the "A" level of education. This will enable the student do an English test meant for foreign students. That examination is the only way forward for a student who is aspiring to go overseas for further studies. However, without a proper foundation, it becomes very hard to force a student who does not have relevant education material to advance his or her studies overseas. Such ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: . We had a book like Students Companion with proverbs. Students in the 8-4-4 System of Education are raised in a cosmetic lab lifestyle. They are overburdened with the 15 subjects they take. However, what do they gain? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am told that the number of candidates who sit for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) per year are 600,000. They do the same thing. I beg to second the Motion. view
