• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: genuine contractors. As the Chair said, we have had a series of meetings with the Director-General of NYS. They have paid most of the people they were supposed to pay. There was a multi-agency team that was put in place to sieve the pending bills to ascertain who should be paid and who should not be paid. As he indicated, before it goes to whatever Committee it has been committed to, it is very important that consultation with the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is done so that they are given a report on the progress of what ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, on the Petition by Hon. Sara Korere on the land that was alienated in Samburu, I would wish to indicate that much of the theories that states on land ownership is the first occupant theory. The theory suffices that those who settled first in a place become the owners of the land. The Samburu are just victims of the colonial land ordinance that began in 1902 and proceeded all the way to 1918. They lost their land but they are lucky. Hon. Sara’s people are lucky because their land was taken to the public. There are those who lost ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: With those few comments, I support the two Petitions. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me begin by indicating that the Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Education is out. I actually talked to her this morning and she indicated that I step in for her while everything will be going on. Having said that, it is a very dear Petition but we should also look at the other courses which are affected in a similar way. Furthermore, also call the Engineers Board of Kenya to see if they can give these students another test. I know it happens in other professions like accountancy and that can actually solve the ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A similar Petition was in this House just last week or two weeks ago. I think I spoke on it and I expressed how I know Hola very well having travelled to those areas when doing the other things for teachers, and the suffering of the people courtesy of the fact that the irrigation scheme has taken so much land. I think last time, there was also a connotative conflict with the wildlife. What I really wanted to mention was on the first Petition. We did some calculation from the employers’ point of view and ... view

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.318 of 2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the status of investigations into the recent shooting of the following three students by police officers: Alfred Odaba Kutwa, a Class Seven student at Esalwa Primary School, Eric Munala Julius, a Form Four student at St. Peters Itumbu Secondary School, and Geoffrey Obwanga, a Class Seven pupil at Itumbu Primary School, all in Emuhaya Constituency? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the steps the Government is taking to deal ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very frustrating issue. Therefore, the Question asked by the Member is very relevant. There is a problem with the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Education. He is trying to relate the number of teachers in schools viz-à-viz the number of schools that should be available. He seems to be moderating the number of schools in the country with the number of teachers who are employed by the TSC. The truth of the matter is that majority of the schools have teachers employed by their Boards of Management (BoMs) and the parents themselves. Therefore, ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Given the weight of these issues and the fact that the Chairperson is not here, and I will have to consult him, I ask you to give us seven days. If Tuesday fits within the seven days’ notice the better. I know if we give him a notice that is shorter than seven days, he will have a chance to wriggle out. So if you can give us seven days from now, I will tell the Chairperson to call the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Very well. view
