• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the education system in this country has been left open, so that everybody participates in acquiring education and knowledge to compete fairly with each other. If we propose a Select Committee of Parliament today, what that Committee will do is to make the politics of this country more divided than they are today. It is going to be headed by politicians who will not have balanced minds in terms of tribal considerations. Therefore, this Motion has already been overtaken by events. That is why I raised a point of order. The proposed Select Committee is ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the hon. Member for that information. Let us look at the Public Service Commission (PSC). The PSC is supposed to be an independent body. The same is also true for the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). We are soon going to have the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

Therefore, what ought to be taken care of is making ... view

• 28 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is because the operator of the machine was not looking at this side. So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say the following: In the current corrupt world, I think it is very important for us to have a written foreign policy. That way, when a new Minister comes in with his staff, there is something to guide him or her as Kenya's foreign policy. That would be very important and very beneficial to Kenya. That is because any incoming Government would know there is a policy to be followed. But now, ... view
