• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not that bad, but if hon. Ethuro is struggling like that--- view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, wengine wetu tulisema kuwa Shule ya Upili ya Maranda isifanywe shule ya kitaifa kwa sababu sasa ni hawa ndio wanakuja huko na watu wetu hawapati nafasi ya kutosha. Ukienda Maranda sasa utapata watu kutoka Mombasa, North Eastern na Kakamega. Wamechukua nafasi zetu zote. Kwa hivyo, view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter in question is so important because every Member is being asked: What are the academic standards? The courts have ruled. We have said here before when the standards were being put that hon. Members of Parliament should have a degree as a minimum. I remember I refused. Hon. Wetang’ula, a renowned lawyer, refused because we knew what the effect of that would be in the Constitution. We questioned the constitutionality of that process but, nonetheless, we lost. Why is the Minister avoiding it? This is not the first time the Minister is avoiding to ... view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been here for ten years and I understand. I want to be clear because there is another issue which I want to ask you to order the Minister to also clarify because this House passed the rules concerning elections. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had furnished us with a draft as required by law. Some of those things like certificate of good conduct, clearance of the examinations council and bureaus that deal with debts and such things like the Credit Reference Bureau, we took them out of the regulations and until today, ... view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. All these Bills as have been alluded to by the Leader of Government Business have a bearing on the registration, nomination processes and the elections. I only want to point out that it is important that we note the concerns and anxieties of Kenyans around the country about the uncertainties. This is a new process and it is important that we go through it with as much confidence as possible so that we do not have Kenyans worrying about the incidences or the instances of the last election. So, all working ... view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am happy he has supported but it is good to guide us. I thought we were debating a Procedural Motion. I am in the know that Mr. Ruto is one of the mischievous politicians who would want to do this. In fact, he has chased away his opponents for the governorship in Kericho because he has all the URP cards and that is the mischief we are trying to cure. We will never let you, Sir. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, not exactly. It is four years and 11 months. So, I withdraw and apologize. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second the Procedural Motion. view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank hon. F.T. Nyammo for this noble Bill. You will realise that we are devolving to counties. Most parts of this country do not have industries. They will have to begin from scratch. I would like to see this Parliament or the next Parliament establish a special fund where small and medium enterprises will go and borrow start-up capital. As you know, the banking sector is anti-small business. It will be good to put it in law that people can have access to basic start-up capital which is least costly. It is better ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this noble Bill. As has been alluded to by the Mover, whom I thank very much, this Bill seeks to put a regulatory framework on how we run the profession of human resource. As you know, the job market in the country today is flooded by people who call themselves experts, but they are generally quacks who purport to know anything about human resource. This is because there are no standards set on what these people should be doing. So, I want to thank the hon. Member for trying to create a ... view
