• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with what is being proposed by Ms. Abdalla. I believe she should have added the words “and” so that it is “election officials and observers”. If you add the word “observers” immediately after the words “election officials” it will now be reading “election officials observers”. I believe there should be a connecting word “and”. It is just some editing. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: I will do it in English today and not that I am not proficient in Kiswahili; I am. I also rise to support this Motion of adjournment. While doing so, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the officers concerned for the appointments which we have approved for the new members of staff of the National Assembly and the Senate. I also want to thank the outgoing Clerk, Patrick Gichohi and I want to disclose that we were at the university at the same time. He has done a good job. I wish him well wherever else he is ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only got challenged by hon. Benjamin Lang’at. I want to confirm to the House that I will do everything within my powers to make sure that we receive funds from the Exchequer in order for me to disburse it to the various constituencies, and we will be able to utilize those funds before things happen. So, far, I have released Kshs7 million and I want to follow it up with more, as quickly as possible. view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. I believe this Bill is long overdue because of what has been happening to us either here in Kenya or outside Kenya because we relate to our neighbours in East Africa. While supporting this Bill, I would also want the Minister to consider very strongly having consultations with other relevant Ministries in order for research funds to be appropriately allocated to the institution so that as and when they find a situation that is threatening, they should be able to do their own research, survey, analysis and assessment of the ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Education, be it basic or higher education, is a critical aspect in economic development of any people. It is a social economic issue to a people. We must all educate our children if they are to compete fairly with other children within and outside the country. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Recently, we yielded to a demand by the teachers to pay them more. We are now in a bid to pass a Bill on the management of education. I would like to use this opportunity to say that the teachers must also appreciate that they have been listened to and, therefore, take their work seriously. I am aware a couple of them would want to indulge in activities that militate against the education of our children. We must reject this and condemn it in the highest language possible. My other concern is the issue of the graduates of Standard Eight. ... view
