• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While commending the Controller and Auditor-General for a good job since Independence and rightly serving Parliament, why does the Assistant Minister continue to have this office as part of the Executive instead of transferring the Office of the Controller and Auditor-General in its entirety to be a parliamentary office? When will he do so to ensure the independence of the Controller and Auditor-General? view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Assistant Minister is considering to promote P1 teachers who pursue university degrees. I just want him to confirm that some ten years ago, the Ministry of Education removed all non-graduate Turkana teachers from positions of responsibility in terms of management to the classroom due to lack of university education. This necessitated a big number of those teachers to pursue university degrees. Could he assure the House that now that those teachers have acquired university degrees, he will appoint those teachers who are qualified to positions of AEOs, tutors and, indeed, District ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister cannot get away with this. Which employer can state that he does not care about his employees and their progress? What is he doing to provide incentives for his employees, so that they pursue their careers further? That is the question as asked by hon. Olago. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I expected my Question to be on the Order Paper for this afternoon but when the Order Paper came, it had disappeared. Rules of natural justice would dictate--- because when an hon. Member is absent from the House, the Question is dropped. When a Minister is allegedly absent, we are not even notified. Is it not only fair that both parties are consulted? I am not questioning why the Question should not be answered now but I have the right to know because I had to mobilize myself to come all ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also want to state from the outset that the Minister for Finance, who is also a Deputy Prime Minister, has done this country a great service. He has looked at the times and decided, wisely, that it is time to have the fundamentals now for a better tomorrow. Under such economic times, the normal words being branded around would be “economic meltdown and financial issues”, and the Minister for Finance would react. The knee-jerk reaction would be to increase taxes, which would not ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) if he could table the number, names and home districts of Kenyans awarded State commendations since Independence, indicating the various categories; and, view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: (b) if he could outline the criteria for such State awards and commendations. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister very profoundly for prosecuting this Question and answering it very thoroughly. When I asked about tabling of names and home districts, I only wanted to know where they come from. It was not a matter of saying that I wanted them to be apportioned to particular districts. In any case, it is a good practice. Every Kenyan hails from a particular home district. So, I think on that one, he missed the point. view
