8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This issue has raised a lot of complaints, not just in Vihiga, but also in Trans Nzoia as well. In Trans Nzoia, the DEB, in the last recruitment had set a certain date after graduation; the teachers who were to be recruited were given up to a certain year, which only the DEB was aware of. In the recent recruitment, this was not taken into account and, as a result, the recruitment that was done benefitted people from outside and not the locals. In view of these complaints, will the Minister consider actually reviewing this ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Bill and I wish to congratulate Mr. Affey for bringing another brilliant piece of legislation that he is proposing. It is only recently in the last session, that he brought another Motion proposing that we should have rotational sittings of Parliament so that we could see places like northern Kenya where life has been very different from other parts of Kenya. Indeed, looking at this piece of legislation, it is a shame that we have had it in our statutes for all this period. Indeed, with the proposed Bill, we ...

33 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) books. One of my favourite books was one by George Orwell; âThe Animal Farmâ. That book tells you of a story of animals that kicked out the master from the farm. When the master left, the animals took over and wrote a set of rules. They said that the first rule amongst all the rules they set was that all animals were equal. It was until some animals started getting some privileges they were enjoying and discriminating against other animals that these rules started changing. One morning as the other animals went back to the ...

8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a discriminatory piece of legislation that is also unconstitutional. When you look at the provision of Section 82 of the Constitution, it provides that no law shall make provisions that are discriminatory either of itself or in itself. It also says that no person shall be treated in a discriminatory manner by a person acting by virtue of any written law or in the performance of the functions of a public office or a public authority. Section 82 of our Constitution goes further to provide that in this section, the expression âdiscriminatoryâ means according ...

8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly:
Under Section 3 of our Constitution, it says that if any other law is inconsistent with this Constitution, then this Constitution shall prevail and the other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void. Therefore, as we are speaking about this Act of Parliament, it is not only unconstitutional, but also void. So, we must strike it out from our statute books so that it should never be seen by our children or our grand children to know that as a country, we have had this particular provision in our statutes for all this time.
