• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to commend the Senate for the input, the National Assembly Committee for passing this Bill in this House and the comments that have arisen. The differences between the National Assembly and the Senate are few. That means that as we move on, there is more and greater concurrence between the Senate and the National Assembly. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment by the Chair of the Committee. I support ranking of schools because it brings the spirit of competition. We all want to perform better than other schools in our neighbourhood. As we put ranking in place, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should ensure that the aspect of cheating in exams is contained. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, I support the inclusion of co-curricular activities in ranking, but in the criterion of ranking, which will be developed by the CS, we should establish what percentage goes to academic performance and which one goes to co-curricular performance. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like to say that it is good for the Ministry to keep an updated register of equipment in the respective schools. There should be an affirmative action in the schools which are not well equipped in order to raise them to be at par with the rest. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this very important Motion, which is focusing on the provision of water to public facilities. First, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your new appointment as a member of the Speaker’s Panel. I know you well and your capability. I know you are going to add value and offer good service to this Parliament. I support this Motion. This Motion is critical in a way because it touches on water. According to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have been ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to focus on public places. I will start by ranking them in terms of schools, markets, bus stops and public parks. The Government of Kenya has already succeeded in connecting over 95 per cent of both secondary and primary schools in this country with electricity. It is only important that we as a Government move to the next level and ensure that water is available in all primary and secondary schools and all the other public places like public parks and bus stops. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, water is life. It is going to ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We must start subsidising consumption progressively as we move forward so that, by the end of the day, once you achieve a certain level of development, each one of us can afford those facilities. Then they can be sustained and become a way of life. Therefore, I want to end there and support this Motion. I congratulate the Mover, my friend Hon. Mwadime and I propose that he should push this Motion to be a Bill. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important and timely Public Appointments (County Assemblies Approval) Bill (Senate Bill No. 20 of 2014). As I start, I support the Bill. The three years we have had county governments have been a very good and valuable lesson. We have seen things being done in a way they have never been done before.

Time has come for ... view
