• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: (b) whether he could state the number of school-age children not attending schools and the reasons thereof; and, view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: (c) what urgent measures he is taking to address the serious shortfall of classrooms, teachers and the attendant infrastructure. view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister was my good professor at the university. He has consulted me. He has developed a very good habit of consulting hon. Members. So, I have no problem waiting for two weeks, except just to mention that, being a professor himself, and Assistant Minister for Education, he is aware of the existence of the ICT policy and e-government. So, this information should be readily available, but I give him the benefit of the doubt. Two weeks is not too long. We will be meeting here, hopefully. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Arising from Standing Order No. 46, in terms of the Minister seeking leave from you, you will also notice that the entire Front Bench does not have a single cabinet Minister. That means that this Government is treating this House with utmost contempt because it is not taking our work seriously. You will need to invoke some serious measures to deal with these Ministers, according to the provisions of the Standing Orders; where a Minister should be declared as having committed gross misconduct, that should happen. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rose on a point of order Standing Order No. 46 to support hon. Kilonzo and Minister Yusuf Haji contradicted me. I think it is only fair that I state that the hon. M.Y. Haji is a Minister of State in the Office of the President. His sitting position confirms that he lacks the confidence to be on the Front; that is why he is hiding behind there. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is talking about hiring them on 1st April, 2010. The information that has been put out there is that they would be hired by 1st March, 2010. Is he in order to mislead the House that it is now April and not March, even without explaining why he is changing from March to April? We need those nurses badly! view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to start by thanking the Prime Minister for reading the mood of the House and making a Statement on a topical matter like corruption. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I just want to confirm one thing from the hon. Prime Minister. Since he did not consider petty corruption, could he confirm or deny in this House that a Grand Coalition Government can only deal with Grand Corruption? Is it one and the same? view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point or order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Ordinarily, I would be very angry with the Assistant Minister, but he happens to be my friend. He agreed that he was going to share the Statement with me, but it is not true that I was not in the House. You are my witness that this morning, I have even asked supplementary questions to other Questions. I saw him and he saw me. So, he cannot claim that I was not in the House. view
