• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has talked about the efficiency of issuing ID cards. I think last week, I also asked the Minister about how long it takes for the youth in Kapsabet or in Nandi County to receive their ID cards and he mentioned 25 days. I have here with me a waiting card which was issued on 19th November, 2011. The youth has not received the ID card. In fact, the Ministry is just registering the youth without issuing the ID cards. The youth are now with the waiting cards but they do not have ID cards. ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While listening to the Assistant Minister, he has said that the youth in the North Eastern Province take about 45 days to get their identity cards. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House how long it takes the youth in Nandi to be issued with identity cards? This is because I have some youth who have not got identity cards since March. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to inform hon. Members that Kiminda is in my constituency and Kapsabet is also in my constituency. When hon. Dr. Khalwale said that there is discrimination--- The councillor for Kiptuiya comes from the Luhya community while the chief for Kapsabet comes from the Kipsigis community. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose the 48-hour period because even the Minister knows that logistically, it is not possible to organize the Government within 48 hours to do the profiling. So, I oppose. We would leave it at 90 days. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister, the Committee, hon. Midiwo and all my colleagues for the wonderful work that we have done. Kenyans are always known to have the best ideas and laws, but we are poor implementers. I urge the Minister to make sure that the laws that we have passed today are followed, so that we can see the difference and changes. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill because of the changes that it makes. We understand and know that there are very many issues in our traffic rules that have cost the lives of people. On the clause that says that drivers should be tested yearly, I thought that whenever someone drives, he or she gains experience and becomes better. I think the best test can be done after two or three years to confirm whether a driver is conversant with and seriously follows traffic ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ask you for more time because I think the issues that are necessary were never mentioned by the Prime Minister--- view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Prime Minister tell us why the athletes went to Oregon and London early when Farah who won gold in 10,000 metres and 5,000 metres was training in Iten? The athlete Kiprotich from Uganda was also training in Iten while the Kenyans went to Oregon and London very early wasting a lot of time and money. Secondly, the athletes never got the right facilities. For example, Ezekiel Kemboi was running wearing female sporting attire. It is very shameful. The short for men has a lining while the short for the women has no lining. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: It was very embarrassing that when some of us were watching Ezekiel Kemboi running, we could see very many other things. Another issue is that they changed the training techniques. How can you employ new techniques at the expense of the Kenyan team? The new techniques should have been tested on other people and not on the Kenyan team. The athletes also competed in too many races in the Grand Prix. The Ethiopians took their athletes to the camp and they paid them while our athletes were running abroad, chasing for money and those were the athletes that we were ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: The management and the Government! Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue is that the Kenyan team took 84 officials and only 40 athletes. These people went with their families while some athletes were left behind. I think it was a tour for these people who never take this issue seriously. I think the Government should plan and employ some of us to give advice on techniques and other matters. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
