• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to inform the hon. Assistant Minister that passenger cover relates to the cover of the insurance for the person who is paying fare while third party insurance only relates to the motor vehicle insured and not the passenger or the goods carried therein. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told the House that China Roads and Bridges Construction Company was not blacklisted at the time this contract was entered into. Is it not true that the parent company was blacklisted on the 14th of January this year when the Kenya Government entered into commitment on 20th January this year? Our Government knew that this company was blacklisted by the World Bank! view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the list that has been provided by the international instruments is not complete, as the Minister has said. The fundamental issue is that some of these international instruments have such serious ramifications for our country. However, before the Cabinet approves them, they should be brought to the House for debate before we commit our country. Recently, the Cabinet approved the Rome Statute without bringing it to the attention of the House. Later on, the House ratified it by the domestication of the International Crimes Act. However, we are now seeing how serious that matter was, that ... view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week, I asked for two Ministerial Statements; one from the Attorney General and one from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. They are both here and they have informed me that they are ready with the statements. However, I am informed that the question that I had directed to the Attorney General on the issue of international instruments was transferred, by consent, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has said he is ready, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that relevant provisions pertaining to the hiring of teachers under the Teachers Service Commission Act will be contravened if teachers are recruited by the Ministry and/or Board of Governors? (b) What steps is the Ministry taking to ensure harmonized remuneration and other terms of service across the country to ascertain that no teacher is discriminated against or is underpaid? (c) What is the basis for this shift in policy in the hiring of teachers? view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard the hon. Assistant Minister’s answer. The policy on the implementation of this is very wrong. In answer to part “a” of the Question, the Assistant Minister says that he is not aware that the TSC Act is being contravened. This answer is based on ignorance because the preamble to Chapter 212 of the Teachers Service Commission Act says that it is an Act of Parliament to provide for, among other things the determination of remuneration of teachers and purposes connected therewith. In addition, Section 13 of the same Act gives the provision for the establishment ... view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that the hiring of teachers in primary schools will be done by SMCs when he ought to be aware that SMCs are not bodies recognized in law? They can neither sue nor be sued? view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this is the view of the Ministry of Education, based on the economic stimulus package announced by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, why is the Ministry, clearly, putting these teachers through internship at salaries much lower than what is paid by the TSC? Is that not modern day slavery and taking advantage of these teachers? view
