• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While appreciating the ruling from the Chair, I think it is a very considered ruling, I do not want the Assistant Minister to come back with incomplete answers. I want to point out to the Assistant Minister that the selection panel must be reconstituted. Who are the members of the selection panel? I want to prove the degree of correlation between the employed drivers and the membership and composition of the selection board. They are:- Mr. G.M. Ayonga - Chairman Mr. F. Atego - Secretary Mr. G. Atinga - Member Mr. ... view

• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a neighbour of Kapenguria. The 12th of December is Jamhuri Day; how did the money get stolen on a public holiday? In the first year of NARC Administration inflation was a single digit, but now, with the Grand Coalition Government, it is almost 30 per cent, which means that the value of that money is now very low. Could the Minister consider paying this money with interest in order to cushion the staff against the effects of inflation? view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs as to under what circumstances the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denies Members of Parliament diplomatic passports. What is the justification for this, given that Ministers, Assistant Ministers and their spouses are entitled to diplomatic passports? The same are denied to Members of the National Assembly! Furthermore, Judges and their spouses are entitled to the same diplomatic passports. Could the Minister further confirm that the one branch of Government, known as the Kenya National Assembly rather than Parliament, which is ... view

• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to commend the Minister for running this Ministry quite effectively. Even his performance from the Floor of the House is good. Whenever we asked Questions, we have always been very satisfied. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Permanent Secretary (PS) and his team for doing a good job. As one of my predecessors used to say, education is a great equaliser. Education is like democracy because, as you know, this democratic House affords us an opportunity, as sons of peasants, to meet ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to commend the Government for spending a lot of resources to promote education, particularly as a commitment to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDG No.2 is Universal Free Primary Education. To that extent, this Government needs to be commended for a job well done. However, the largest room is that for improvement. 2598 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 8, 2008 In my view, the Minister and the Ministry messed on a very fundamental issue when the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) could not add up figures, and even up to now, not a ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House brought a Motion and so we demand an official Government response as opposed to his own personal views. I wonder what it means when Ministers sign performance contracts. Does it include responding to hon. Members' Motions and Questions as part of their performance? At this rate, it looks like it is not part of their performance. view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While appreciating that we need to hear from the Assistant Minister, since he was unavailable at the time of the official Government responder, he forfeited that chance. So, he cannot even purport to be donating his time to another Member. view
