• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology has done a good job. They have done a good Report after observing due diligence. They considered education, qualification, relevance and suitability. For the House’s information, Dr. Lydia Nzomo scored 80.3 per cent in that interview amongst many men and women of this country. So, she is extremely qualified. It is not easy for someone to get a PhD. In this House there are many PhD holders like hon. Naomi Shaban, hon. Millie Odhiambo, hon. Kaluma, Eng. Gumbo and hon. Kajuju. To get a PhD is no joke. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: They told me that when we were taking tea. However, I withdraw. Dr. Lydia Nzomo joined TSC as a staffing officer for secondary schools. She rose through the ranks for those 23 years until she got to the very top. She did an impressive job during her ten years at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). All Kenyans agree that she also increased the budget to over Ksh1 billion from Ksh230 million in 2004. If the House approves the appointment of Dr. Nzomo, the country and the teaching fraternity will be very happy. Everybody is waiting for this appointment ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. The TSC has a lot of say in how much teachers are paid. However, we also know that this Parliament appropriates budgets. It is upon us to allocate them adequate money. Everybody has been through school. Our children go to school. Teachers are very important. Let us try and make sure that we have a big budget for education so that teachers are paid well. Without good pay, there will always be problems. It is Dr. Nzomo who can effectively do this because she has risen from low ranks to the ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. I want to start by saying that I support this very good Motion. When Jogoo and Ladhies roads are expanded, congestion will be eased. There are reasons why we have traffic jams and the biggest reason is the roundabouts. If the question of roundabouts is sorted out in the urban centres, traffic jams will have been controlled by 90 per cent. However, if roads are expanded and there are no overpasses, where there are roundabouts, there will always be a gridlock and vehicles will ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I want to echo my support to the sentiments of my colleagues and especially the Leader of Majority Party who has made it very clear. While I was seated here, I was wondering why the belligerence. Why is the Senate fighting everybody? It is not the National Assembly alone. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: It is not the National Assembly alone. There is the Council of Governors, the Judiciary, the National Assembly and by and large the Executive. Why fight everybody when you cannot win? My advice is: Let the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate sit together with the leadership from both Houses and sort out this problem. Kenya faces a lot of problems. When we see the Senate fighting in the media, Kenyans will not understand. They face the problems of unemployment, insecurity and poverty. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I want to support the idea that if the Senate feels they have to go to court, let them The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: use the lawyers that we have. We have good lawyers and we do not have to spend money hiring private lawyers. However, before that level is reached, I urge the Speaker of the National Assembly to take the initiative. He should invite the Speaker of the Senate and they can sit over a cup of tea. I am sure they will break the ice and we will move forward. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: This is a problem that can be solved. When we promulgated the Constitution, we all agreed that 20 per cent was not good. We decided to pass it and review it afterwards and correct the 20 per cent. Could it be that time has come for us to ask ourselves whether we need the Senate? It is duplicating what the National Assembly is doing. I am surprised that they have formed Committees parallel to what we have in the National Assembly. We have to do soul searching and come to a conclusion. Even if it requires a referendum, we can ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I want to end by sending my condolences to Myles Munroe who had an accident in Bahamas. This is a man who touched many Christians. view
