• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. One, if we allow committees to do regional balancing in public appointments, we will not get it right because each departmental committee only deals with a few selected cases of vetting. The Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) has requested the two Principals to give us the names of the people who have been appointed to public bodies, indicating the regions they come from, since the promulgation of the new Constitution. From that information, we will know which regions have benefitted more than the other regions. In the absence of ... view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of intolerance in this House that should not be allowed. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Duale should have been patient and waited to make his own contribution at his own time. Hon. Duale did not listen to me. I said that the two Principals have been given the appointing authority, and you cannot take it away from them. They have it. What we are supposed to do, as Parliament, is approve; that is what we are doing today. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: You are eating into my time! Can you sit down? view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still have time. This House is guided by rules. I have not seen the red light at the Table. I still have time, and I cannot be harassed to finish. The people who are harassing me have given their contributions on this Motion. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this lady already knows that she has been given a job. Do not mess her future through pettiness. We should not be petty. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to proceed by supporting this amendment further. It is high time we gave this lady a job and she starts doing this job. You cannot have the whole commission with people from one region, the eastern part of Nairobi. It is not acceptable. This commission must be balanced. We are not going to allow this Parliament to undo the good work of the Principals. I beg to support the amendment. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice.

• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure that the Assistant Minister is aware that Article 53(1) (b) of the Constitution guarantees the children of Kenya free and compulsory basic education. There is no basic education more than ECD. Why is it that the Government is discriminating against the very young children and only concentrating on primary school children? If you have little funds, why does he not start with the young ones? Why does he not provide education to the young ones first because that is the most basic education that one can ever think of? view
