I think it is not right to say that I did not come up with the measures to eliminate this outbreak. I did that and very eloquently so. On the issue of assisting the students, I think the hon. Member knows very well the provisions of the Fourth Schedule in our Constitution. We ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo’s question. I sympathize with the situation and I will ask the Cabinet Secretary in charge to liaise with his counterpart in the Ministry of Education to see if there is anything that can be done to alleviate the suffering by the students and to see if the bursaries can be provided to the 30, 000 students.

• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my understanding is that the statement belongs to the House. I gave a very firm undertaking. If you remember very well, because of the urgency of the matter, you wanted me to issue this statement in a week’s time and I requested for two weeks. Two weeks elapse today.

I will supply the written statement to the Clerk’s office so that Professor Lonyangapuo can also have a look at it. view
