• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak because I am feeling very sad. When I look at my good friend, hon. (Ms.) Chidzuga, a lady like me, having to suffer for no fault of her own, I feel pained. Hon. Speaker, we cannot put the Standing Orders before the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the Land. Article 47 of the Constitution says that if any institution - God is an institution in this case - has to take any action in as far as that action is administrative, the person who is taking ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the law demands that if any action has to be taken, any person has a right to be given an opportunity to be heard. The principles of natural justice are very clear. We cannot fight on the ground to get votes, come to this House, start law-making process and then we are threatened that we do not have self control. How can a party purport to instill self control in its hon. Members, just because they associate with other people? Hon. Speaker, I have travelled to Homa Bay and Migori for development reasons. I have not been de-whipped ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity, on my own behalf and on behalf of the great people of Meru County, to pass my condolences to the family of Gerald Otieno Kajwang’. In my visits to Homa Bay County, which I have done twice; each time I interacted with hon. Kajwang’, he would speak to me about politics and guide me as a brother. I speak about hon. Kajwang’ not just as a legislator but also as a senior learned colleague, who was my senior in the profession. He was a good lawyer when he served the great people ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: always remember him and shall be there to offer whatever little we can, to make the lives of those he has left behind better. May his soul rest in eternal peace! Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The first! view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this report that has been tabled in this House. We are seeking to give the TSC a chairperson. The TSC commands almost 300,000 teachers. Each of us in this House today passed through the hands of teachers. It is an important commission that takes care of our daughters, sons, sisters and brothers. It takes care of the family. This is the right time that we are giving the TSC, not only a person who is qualified for the position, but a woman to take charge. It has been proved ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Dr. Lydia Nzomo is qualified to the letter. She has passed through the systems and understands them. In her interview with the Committee, she stated that she is going to engage with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission to ensure that the teachers get better terms. We have been receiving threats from teachers every now and then that they want to go on strike because their terms of service are not good. This has been happening because they have not been listened to properly. Now, we have a qualified woman, who is going to give them the motherly care that they ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: One of the issues that have always disturbed me in as far as teachers are concerned is career progression of teachers. You will have a teacher who is a Diploma holder, who has educated themselves to the level of a degree and even a Masters, who still end up teaching in a primary school. Their talents and skills are not recognised by any institution. We are calling upon Dr. Lydia Nzomo to look into the issue of career progression for teachers. Once they get these certificates, they should be promoted and earn a salary that is commensurate to their qualifications. ... view
