• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do agree that this Coalition Government is a government of collusion, collision and confusion. But the selection panel was appointed by the Executive - the two Principals. The hon. Member, speaking as a Cabinet Minister in this Government, comes to the House to complain and lament about wrong things done by the Executive without resigning. Is it in order? view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it seems this Assistant Minister does not have any child either in primary or secondary school. If he has any, then they are learning in private schools and that is why he does not care what happens in public schools. You see the way he is casually answering this Question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes teachers in this country are treated as beasts of burden. But even beasts of burden require some sympathy. The Government of Kenya made a commitment with the teachers in 1997, but it was varied in 2002. Could he tell this House and the ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to claim that he does not know how the NTA does their rating yet his Assistant Minister view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to evade addressing a legitimate challenge to him to explain and give us documentary evidence that the Attorney-General gave him the advice to seek advice from the PPOA? What we have are three letters from the Attorney-General with the same opinion. We have a letter which I can also table from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The letter reads:- “The preliminary investigation has not returned any findings to warrant delay in implementation of the project. You may proceed with the project as planned and ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The only document that the Minister is relying on for holding this process is the purported communication from the Attorney-General’s office. I think it would be in order for this House to get a copy of this letter from the Attorney-General, telling the Minister specifically to refer this matter to PPOA. This House is entitled to the truth and facts. I request that the Minister is compelled to table the communication from the Attorney-General’s office because we do not have it. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, credibility of examinations in any country is very critical and important. I even wonder why the Ministry continues to retain the same management of Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) yet every year we have problems with them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, C minus and D minus is just a mean grade. Each subject has a grading tabulated which gives you the mean grade. For one to get a C minus, the grades must be materially different from D minus. Therefore, there could be differences in grading system which then resulted into differences in the ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that the Assistant Minister is owning up to tell us that he is not even sure, whether the response he has given from the KNEC is authentic. Is he in order then to come and report to this House view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The question by Mr. Olago was clear that the Public Procurement and Disposal Act stipulates a condition that before an award of a tender, or even initiation of it, you have to first ascertain that you have the view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he is aware that the owner of M/s Echalco Contractors was to be paid Kshs525,181 and the total cost of the suit file and interest against the Medical Superitendent of Suba District Hospital; and, (b) when he will be paid. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular contractor comes from my constituency and they are just beginners who we are trying to encourageto do business. They have tied this amount of money in this contract. This case was determined in January this year. From January to date, the contractor has been waiting for this payment without any success. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House when this contractor will be paid because all the information he is giving us is about one Government department doing something? Could he tell us comprehensively when this contractor will be paid for the amount that the ... view
