• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: A nation without educated people is a nation in decline. This country is famous for sending students overseas for learning. If the Government were to open a HELB office in every district headquarters as department of Government within the Ministry of Education, then we will be expanding opportunities. This will ensure that we do not have to conduct harambees every single week to support our constituents to go overseas for studies. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many institutions in this country that are providing first class education facilities, but we have this fixation with international education. People spend huge sums of money sending their children outside this country that cannot provide as good education as is provided in this country. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Part of the reason for this is because the HELB is not taking its mandate seriously. I would suggest that for every student who goes out of this country, the HELB should require that the money that is being paid to foreign universities be channeled to the HELB, so that we can reduce the number of students going overseas and also ensure that the money that we are raising locally is used to educate our children locally rather than sending money out of the country then these children change courses.

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that the Prime Minister does acknowledge that the Attorney-General is also a Minister, and given the fact that the Attorney-General does not find time to be present in this House most of the times, could the Prime Minister consider advising the appointment of Assistant Minister in the Office of the Attorney-General, so that we can get answers to our Questions when the Attorney- General is away? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I join those who have congratulated our sportsmen, women and the Minister for the gallant performance of our athletes, may I recommend to the Minister to persuade her Cabinet colleagues to change the policy of putting the portraits of our Head of State on our Kenyan currency notes and, instead, put the portraits of those men and women who have done so well for this country. That is one way of getting people to recognize them because they are better know all over the world and they have made greater contribution to the ... view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me at the outset and as the founding chair of AMANI Forum, congratulate the Mover of this Motion Mr. Ethuro for finding it fit to bring the Motion for official recognition.

Indeed, Mr. Speaker is the patron of the organization. So this is long overdue. What Mr. Ethuro has done to bring this Motion to officially acknowledge the presence and need for AMANI Forum is a matter that needs to ... view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, there are some minor correction on the Order Paper, Madam Minister, which we must point out. The year is, of course, ending on 30th June, 2010, and not 30th June, 2009 as indicated on the Order Paper. So, let the Order Paper indicate, in respect of all the Votes, “the year ending 30th June, 2010.” view
