• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: My point of order is to implore the Chair to take this Motion seriously because it involves the life and functionality of this Government. Could the Chair defer this Motion until next time? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: I am talking about the Appropriation Bill, which involves the Ministry of Finance. In the absence of the Minister, we are incapacitated. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was surprised when the Assistant Minister said that they are upgrading schools to higher levels of excellence depending on buildings. In the absence of good examination results and, in the wake of theft of school examinations, how will the Ministry arrive at upgrading of schools--- view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was surprised when the Assistant Minister said that upgrading of schools to centres of excellency will depend on the quality of its buildings and fixtures. In the presence of bad governance in examination grading systems in schools, and the prevalence of theft of examination papers, what steps is the Ministry taking to curb this situation before upgrading of schools to centres of excellence? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order, under Standing Order No.8. Since the debate on this Bill has consistently been repetitive, May I, please, request that the Mover be now called upon to reply? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is a very interesting one.

Dominion Farms Ltd injected the knowledge of farming science in the youth by setting up a youth camp in Yala. With the help of the area Member of Parliament, Mr. Weya, there is need to inculcate in the youth knowledge ... view

• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a wondrous story from the Ministry to ration teachers in schools when they know that free primary education has increased the number of entrants in secondary schools. What plans does this Ministry have particularly for the students in secondary schools who are endeavouring to get to university? Do they expect these students to go to university without proper education? view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think that the Minister's answers are very cosmetic. The first thing is that the design only cost Kshs8.3 million and consultancy cost Kshs5 million. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that the money spent on documentation was enough to make TARDA come off the ground and fulfil the projects that were abandoned? view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to revisit my discussion yesterday on the ills of tobacco as a crop promoted by multinational companies. This is done not withstanding the constraints caused by the tobacco industry. These cannot be left without challenge. We have heard statistics as provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO). We have been told that tobacco, as a crop, has only 15 per cent lead. The lead is traced to atoms that are not understood by those who smoke.
