4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying that we need to live with the difficulties; I think we can manage. We have come a long way. My good friend, Midiwo, do not allow us to go back to the parties in briefcases, which were given a very big platform to say many things.

I think it is good for this country that we remain in this kind of managed situation.

28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to start by thanking the Member for Tetu for this piece of legislation. It is true that this is one of the key sectors. We know that the Asian Tigers have got to where they are in terms of development because they did recognize the contributions that come from this sector, the micro and small enterprises sector. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, any of the persons aspiring to be governors, and I am not one yet, would only perhaps be worth that position ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Dr. Otichilo for this Bill. I concur that it is timely. We need to have a legal framework to deal with this. The effects of climate change are with us about everywhere. I want to thank him for the work that he has done. If we ignore this, it will be at our own risk and at the risk of our future generations.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you most sincerely for this opportunity. I want to commend the Minister and the Ministry officials for this Bill that is before us. It is puzzling to see or remember that we have always said agriculture is the mainstay of our economy. It has taken us about 40 years to repeal some of the sections of the Act or even some of the laws that have made this industry not very useful to many who have tried a hand at it. All the same, I think it is better late than ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to thank Dr. Eseli for this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the human resource is one of the most important aspects of any enterprise. To do a registration which allows for the establishment of an institute and examination board for those people in human resource management is a commendable thing. It is true that this is one of the many areas within the business sector and working environment where we have many quacks who masquerade as people who can do everything, but in the process, ...

28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank the Minister and the Ministry officials, once again, for this Bill that seeks to consolidate a number of other Bills that were there before, but were scattered all over. This Bill is able to bring quite a number of institutions together, not less than eight. Like other Speakers have said, it is important that we undertake research in this country. I come from the County of Nyandarua which has a huge agricultural potential.

28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to oppose this Bill. Yesterday we were supposed to have been here in Parliament, but we were around talking to Kenyans for reasons that many of us can guess. When you go round this country in every shopping center, the young men who try to reach to you, you would do anything that is possible within the law including enacting legislation in this House to totally ban alcohol in this country. It has taken the population the wrong way. We are not advocating for total ban but levels ...

22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, given that the independence schools mainly within Central, Eastern and Rift Valley provinces were put up by the Local Native Council due to the shortage of mission schools then; aware that the councils were frustrated by the colonial Government giving birth to Kenya Independence Schools Association under the auspices of African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA), which took over the construction and administration of the said schools; noting that in 1952, the schools were taken over by the District Education Boards (DEBs) and that ...
