• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. While many of us are new and have been very much encouraged to sponsor Motions, will you allow these Motions to materialize? I know our system of Government has completely changed; we are in a presidential system. We will really love to see one or two Motions implemented. With all this bureaucracy of 60 days, we will really love to see one of them implemented; from past experience, it the House can just become a talking shop. We just talk and talk and nothing materializes. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, Sir. We are getting more confused because the Committee of the whole House was sitting. There were interruptions, which we argued that we wanted a ruling on, whether we should continue or not. That was the problem. From what I have learned on the Floor of the House, hon. Midiwo was saying that he consulted you and then there was this and that. We are saying that we must follow the law. We wanted to continue and dispose of this issue. That is why we have been seeking that Division. You have put ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was not demanding--- On 4th of this month, I asked for a statement concerning the gold issue, and you gave a directive of three weeks. Today the three weeks have lapsed. I wanted a way forward because up to now I have not been summoned and nothing has been done about it. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the amendment. Kenya is celebrating 50 years of Independence but during this period, we created two countries in one: a Kenya that has everything and a Kenya that has been marginalised. It is shameful. Over the last ten years, ASAL areas were recreated to an extent that Turkana and Nyeri counties have been put in the same category. For instance, the illiteracy rate in Turkana is almost 90 per cent, while the literacy rate in Nyeri is 90 per cent. However, if you look at the number of teachers, for ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: What this Motion is really about is the fact that there are Kenyans who have been marginalised since Independence. We know that our new Constitution has given 30 per cent of public appointments to the female gender. We are unable to provide even the 30 per cent because our women are not educated just because they lacked the necessary infrastructure. For example, we have no nurses or teachers. Even in the security area, we cannot provide enough women to take up their quota because the security agencies need women with Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) qualification. We have multiple ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what we are saying is that ASAL areas have unique problems. They have a low enrolment. For instance, in my constituency, the percentage of school-going girl child is only 25, while in my counterpart’s constituency of Tetu is 90 per cent. So, we cannot compare those two constituencies while trying to create space in ASAL areas to boost enrolment of the girl-child through establishment of boarding schools for her. It does not make sense for one to say that they also want this facility. These are people who want to “kill” this Motion. I will tell ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is well known that we have Kenya whose infrastructure has been developed properly and another which does not have a single kilometre of tarmac. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that this amendment is not good. This is because it will dilute what we really wanted. Therefore, I urge this House, especially Members of Parliament who feel that they have a moral obligation to protect marginalized places, to vote against this amendment. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 18 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. We must take this House very seriously because we are being watched by the country. A serious allegation has been made by a Member of Parliament. I would like to say that this is not a miraa session! view
