• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Minister of State for Internal Security is very competent. That is why he is running two Ministries. Why has he given this responsibility to hon. Githae, the Minister for Finance, who is causing confusion in this House? Could we demand that the substantive Minister – the real Minister for internal security – who knows what security is all about, takes over and runs this business? view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me put it this way: My understanding is that if you give the council the power to discipline and all this, it does not mean that the council will always be sitting there to do discipline. What it, therefore, means is that the council will be responsible for these procedures. I want to give you an example and I am sure many of us have passed through public universities. For example, in the University of Nairobi (UoN), the discipline of staff is the function of the council, but the DVC A&F, disciplined staff on ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that you have given me this opportunity. Actually we have really been sacrificing our time. I think sacrificing five more minutes would not do us more harm. I have three comments to make. One thing that impressed me in discussing these Bills was the kind of objectivity that this House exhibited in all the six Bills. In the past, I used to see this House divided along party and ethnic lines, but today, for the last three days, many a times we showed that we were arguing objectively. Secondly, let me thank the Front ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Assistant Minister to clarify something which he has not clarified. The grades that he has read are perfectly giving a D- (Minus) as the mean grade, based on the final certificate. Could he tell us the specific grades in the result slip which resulted to a C- (Minus)? Why are they different from what was in the final certificate? He should explain why there is that discrepancy from a D- (Minus) to a C- (Minus). He should give us the specific grades, for instance, in English, Kiswahili and Mathematics in the result slip. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to evade answering my question? This House deserves to be told why the KNEC gives different grades in the result slip for all the subjects? If it was just a mistake in the mean grade, one would understand, but if you give different grades on the result slip from what is on the final certificate, we need to be told what happened, which misled this student that much. view
