• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have nothing against the members of NCCK. However, I believe very strongly that when they are in the umbrella body, they will represent the interest of that sector completely. If you break it and remove two out of that basket; the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) and Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), there is nothing that will stop the Evangelical Association of Kenya (EAK) from saying, "can we also have our two most important members in this Committee". So, why should we go into a ditch for no reason? Why should we get ... view

• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to correct the Minister. He has just arrived in the House and wants to be knowing all these things immediately. If you look at my letter to the Speaker, it says SDA is a member of the NCCK and not evangelical group. 3258 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 4, 2008 view

• 30 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) how many secondary schools and pupils were affected by examination cheating or leakage in 2007, (b) in what form and nature the examination irregularities were, and; (c) what steps the Ministry has taken particularly this year, to ensure the irregularities do not recur. view
• 30 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for a comprehensive and elaborate answer. As you will notice, the number of schools involved in irregularities is 243 and the children are close to 1,900. That is a huge number and it is putting the credibility of our certificates in primary and secondary schools in jeopardy. I hope that what has been promised will be undertaken by the Ministry. However, the KNEC Act has been reviewed. I would like the Minister to indicate when that review was done. I was in this House in the Ninth Parliament and this ... view
• 30 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with that response, I am satisfied.

• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister indicate that the medical allowance for those hard-working Kenyans is Kshs980. I hope the Assistant Minister is aware that the consultancy fee alone is Kshs1,000! That is the amount that is charged by all the doctors. That medical allowance of Kshs980 is for one person, and those instructors are also married! They have children who have got to be looked after. I am not talking about their wives. What is the Ministry doing to improve the medical scheme for those people working in the polytechnics? view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect, we are also standing at the back, please. view
