• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we appreciate that the Minister has put some effort to explain the work done, the work started in 2004, if I got him right. The works have continued in 2008, 2010, 2011 and will move on to 2012. Could the Minister state, specifically, how much money has been allocated for that project? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer given by the Assistant Minister contradicts itself. If this officer was away in November, 1999 and he was dismissed in April, 2000, how come the Public Service Commission promoted the same dismissed person in July, 2000? Could he confirm that this officer was promoted after he was dismissed? view

• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has said that buying and selling of these houses will go to those who can afford. Could he tell us whether the Government has a policy to cater for the low income groups that are getting into their unplanned settlements in the urban areas, more so, in Nairobi? What measures have they put in place to cater for the low income earners? view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier on in this House, the Minister stated that the infrastructure in our schools and, more so, in our primary schools, were not affected. Today, he said that the loss would affect the infrastructure. Could he clarify the effects that, that kind of abuse will have on infrastructure and, more so, with regard to improvement and construction of primary schools? view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware of the dismissal of Mrs. Jennifer Kimani, the CEO of NACADA on 25th October, 2010 and, if so, what the circumstances that led to the dismissal were; (b) whether he is also aware that NACADA Board passed a resolution recommending that Mrs. Kimani be offered the position of National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of NACADA Authority on 25th February, 2010 and, if so, why did NACADA advertise the job on 2nd March 2011; and, (c) whether the Government could consider deploying her appropriately ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Motion. The idea is noble. When the Minister for Education will be ready to respond, he will clarify some of the issues that have been raised by some of the hon. Members. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the meaning of basic education is right from Early Childhood Education (ECE) up to the time the child exits at Form Four, at the age of 16, 17, or 18 depending on his or her background. Again, I would expect the Minister to comment and advise this Parliament that this country is a signatory ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who are opposing this Motion should be able to answer this question. What education are we giving our children? Are we giving our children education for life skills or for them to pass examinations and exit and get into the society? I would want to congratulate hon. Kioni. This Motion is about social and economic changes. We are all ready to support Vision 2030. Again, which country will ever realize what we are trying to achieve if we have inadequate and poor education programmes? Basic education in this country has not been given the ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, issues have been raised about infrastructure in our schools. We know that some of the areas may require support to put up more schools and classrooms. We have an issue here. Rather than this Government saying it does not have funds, the issue is mismanagement of our resources in this country. We are capable. We are talking about giving our children support and skills to enable them fight poverty and yet we are not even able to manage what we vote for this Ministry in this Parliament. A good school would require adequate facilities. We ... view
