• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: No, I do not want to speak. I had said that is why hon. Members are not worried. Members of Parliament have already been prejudged by the media. That is why they are not in the Chamber. However, when I raised the matter, I was told to sit down. Now, you can see what is happening. view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. I wish to begin by thanking the Mover of the Motion, Ms. A. Abdalla. I reckon that this Motion came to this House during the Eighth Parliament. It was unanimously supported by the hon. Members who spoke. It underlies the problems of drug abuse in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when people hear the words "drug abuse", they tend to think about drinking of chang'aa, smoking of bhang and use of cocaine. People forget that the issue of drug abuse is big business. It is a big ... view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I wish to very strongly support this Motion. view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that all teachers in the country are deducted Kshs50 by National Bank of Kenya (NBK) to have their salaries credited to their respective bank accounts; (b) given the total number of teachers in the country, how much money the deductions amount to per year; and, (c) what steps the Minister will take to ensure that teachers' salaries are channelled directly to their individual accounts to avoid the said deductions. view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. He does agree that, indeed, there are delays occasioned by teachers, first of all, being paid through NBK before their salaries could go to their respective banks. He also does agree that this is paid as one cheque. According to the answer, this one cheque accrues to Kshs138,973,400 for a period of one year. Is he telling us that by paying through NBK, 12 cheques in one year, the deductions for clearing those 12 cheques amount to Kshs138,973,400? Is the Minister not able to see that this ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell this House when this new arrangement will come into effect so that these huge deductions, through unnecessary bank charges, come to an end once and for all? view

• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is wise. What I have is a shoddy answer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that he goes back to the "kitchen" and comes up with a better answer. view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister confirm that the question of corruption in the KPCU and mismanagement has been long standing. For how long will the Government, through the Minister, continue to watch public resources being squandered as it waits for a Question so as to confirm losses? view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to be counted for supporting this Motion. I consider this a very important Motion whose time should have been yesterday. The question of giving legal space to the various contentious groups in this country cannot be gainsaid. I know and wish to state that no country in its right senses can ignore the role of this productive, dynamic cohort of its population. Indeed, I want to submit that the destiny of any country squarely lies in its youth. For a long time, Kenya, has kind of, not given the right position or treatment to ... view
