• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as matter of information, we discussed this Bill last year and passed the Second Reading stage. Therefore, it is just a matter of procedure, so the Mover could be called upon to reply. view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I am here! view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just a small item on Head 834 on page 1133. That is on the--- 2638 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 18, 2007 view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: It is Sub-Head 0002 - Information Communication Technology Unit. My concern here is that, in view of the Government's stated policy on Information Communication and Technology and the importance thereof, I wonder whether the Minister is really satisfied that, in fact, this paltry sum of Kshs29 million for that section is really adequate, given the fact that, you need to actually put information technology at the forefront of education, so that you are not left behind? Are you satisfied or shall we give you more money? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is another item; Head 845 at page 1137. I am talking about the School Audit Unit. This is just the Head itself--- view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: That is on page 1137. The Head is 845. It is called School Audit Unit. Generally speaking, I am just concerned about the total expenditure on that Unit. In view of the fact that we are now building so many classrooms using the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), I think this ought to have been strengthened more. That is because the money allocated to it seems to be very small, indeed. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with respect to that particular Head--- view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my concern is for the good of this country. You are spending so much money-- Just like the Government is spending so much money on education, even Members of Parliament are spending a lot of money on education through CDF, particularly to construct classrooms. We need to ensure that the Audit Unit is strong enough to take care of that money. That is because the money has now been expanded. It is not the usual money that we used to have. Could you comment on that, please? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will be brief, but we must know how our money is being used. I would like to compare the item on page 1146, Head 827, Commission for Higher Education, which has a provision of this year of Kshs155 million, with Head 835, July 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2641 Directorate of Higher Education, which has a provision of Kshs194,782,135 on page 1147. I would like to know from the Minister whether there is any duplication between Commission for Higher Education and the Directorate of Higher Education and why the two Heads cannot be combined so ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I will be very fast, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman Sir. I want to address only one item, which is on page 1147, on the Directorate of Higher Education, Head 835. It is the last item on that page, Item 3111400 - Research, Feasibility Studies, Project Preparation and Design, Project Supervision. Last year, there was an allocation of Kshs81 million. This year and the following year, there is no allocation. Is the Ministry moving forward or not? Could the Minister explain that because he said that he would make sure that there would be more funds for research work? view
