Hon. Speaker, the spirit of the ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: are not going right. There is hue and cry regarding all the major projects that the Jubilee Government has intended to undertake. Hon. Speaker, unlike the Public Audit Bill, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill is not being properly insulated from interference by the “big boys”.

The parents were called and engaged in some tet-a-tet and agreed that because the school wanted to do certain things, they would increase the fees by 40 per cent. When I called the students for evaluation at the end of the year, I found that there was a new structure again and I ... view

That was the late Gerald Otieno ... view
