• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to limited time, allow me to just thank hon. Members for their contributions, and also thank the Assistant Minister for what he has said. It is good to pay attention to the figures that he has mentioned. We are now saying that we are able to take 70 per cent primary school graduates to secondary schools with a budget of Kshs134 billion. How would the remaining 30 per cent cost Kshs448 billion from Treasury? The workings are not quite accurate. If they look at it again, they should see the reality of it. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, considering that Education is a fundamental human right and every child is entitled to it; mindful that when we ensure that children have access to a rights-based, quality education that is rooted in gender equality, we create a ripple effect of opportunity that impacts generations to come; acknowledging that education enhances lives and ends generational cycles of poverty and disease and provides a foundation for sustainable development; aware that quality basic education better equips girls and boys with the knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to socio- economic challenges and enables them take an active role in social, economic ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support this Bill, I want to ask my good friend, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to be kind to us, especially when he talks about Members of Parliament in public forums. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I appreciate that this Bill provides that the names of three persons who are qualified for appointment as Auditor-General or Controller of Budget, as the case may be, will be forwarded to the President. What we have witnessed in the past, especially when we were dealing with the appointment of the Chief Justice and the Deputy Chief Justice, was that the appointing authority is really a body other than the President. It is important that this scenario has come out clearly in this Bill. It is important that more than one name are sent to the President, so that if ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to concur with the sentiments raised by hon. Martha Karua, when she said that you can also manipulate this process very easily. You can collude, as panellists from one side of whatever divide, and eventually give marks that elevate one person not because of his or her qualifications but because you belong to a particular persuasion. So, there is need for a standardised way of doing these things, because we could, again, start playing to the gallery. We could pretend to be vetting people to come up with the best candidate but collusion could ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: It is important that the process of vetting is given some thorough attention. It is important that as we embrace this movement to liberation as a nation, at the end of the day, we do not end up suppressing the truth and some very progressive moral values that revolve around the family. If that happens, we will have to pay the price. The United States of America is doing it, after 50 years down the line. We should be careful and awake to this fact. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this Procedural Motion. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Many of the reasons for the extension have already been adduced. The interest of the public is enormous. There is need to allow the people to participate in this process. The issue of integrated IDPs has been overlooked. Whenever we talk about IDPs, there is the narrow definition to cover only those within the camps, but we have IDPs within the country living with other people. It is important that the long-term effects of those who have been displaced from their homes are looked into. This impacts very heavily, especially on the young and the aged. The school going capacity ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of noise behind me. view
