• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in line with the principle of maintaining macro-economic stability, the Committee further recommends that the following areas be rationalized to create savings so as to fully fund the above mentioned priority areas. This is to ensure that the funding proposals that the Committee of this House is recommending are not necessarily overshooting the curve of the Ministry of Finance, which is at Kshs1.15 trillion, but are only endeavouring to shift, reallocate and apply resources where there is value for money. view

• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, noting that Article 7(2) of the Constitution recognizes Kiswahili and English as the official languages of the Republic of Kenya; aware that this provision will adequately address ethnic disharmony in public offices if implemented to the letter; appreciating that Article 7(3) of the Constitution requires the State to promote and protect the diversity of language of the people of Kenya; concerned that the use of indigenous languages in public offices and national institutions is a major contributor to disharmony, suspicion and discomfort in public offices in the country, ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I bring this Motion to attempt to entrench the value of nationhood as is well contained in our Constitution.

When you sign the forms for employment, you usually indicate that you ... view
