• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to also join my colleagues in supporting this document. The section that I would like the hon. Attorney-General to consider withdrawing is the one on amending the Energy and Communications Act with regard to vandalism and allow me to give my reasons because over the last couple of years, the number of incidences of vandalism and sabotage affecting telecommunications and--- view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The effect of vandalism has been far reaching and not only affecting the service providers who lose revenue and pay dearly for repairs but also suffer reputation damage which may at times not be quantifiable. Similarly, corporate organizations that are cut off the electricity and communications grid suffer losses in billions of shillings every year in foregone revenues. Moreover, some organizations in the manufacturing sector are put under strain to meet their service level obligations with the lives of patients in hospitals being placed under risk. Of course, the biggest loser of all has been ... view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you remember the recent incident where power was cut off at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) due to vandalism of electrical cables and also a major blackout which engulfed and, in fact, it was even worse in Mombasa. The Statute Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill has several provisions. One is amending the Information and Communications Act and the other amending the Energy Act. However, the Energy and Communications Committee--- view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the section that deals with vandalism on the Energy and Communications Act to be left for the Bill that we are bringing in tomorrow in its stand-alone unit. I have already discussed this with the Attorney-General and he is in concurrence with that. view

• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to congratulate the Ministry for a well thought out idea of computerizing schools, but I want to say that this was not the right way to do it; if the Ministry was going to do this, surely, they should have made themselves ready to supervise and make sure that computers were delivered to schools in a timely manner. Nonetheless, I can see from the communication between--- view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Ministry to take action to make sure that Gendia Secondary School gets its rightful computers regardless of what they cost right now. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the hon. Minister confirm to this House the plans that her Ministry has towards accommodating students that have C+ and above, and especially the girls? I say so because I tried, as an example, to take a girl that had a C+ and she excelled in every single subject and has graduated with As.

But in Kenya, they are limiting it to Bs and above. ... view
