• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Ugandan security forces still occupy Migingo Island in Lake Victoria despite an agreement between the Governments of Kenya and Uganda, and that the Uganda Government has continued with expansionist policy on Kenyan soil and waters by illegally taking occupation of Ugingo, another Kenyan island next to Migingo? (b) Why has the Government failed to reclaim Migingo Island even after Parliament passed a Motion urging the Government to use all means possible to reclaim the ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realize that this is a Question by Private Notice. This Question came before this House more than two weeks ago. The Minister wrote a letter requesting that this matter be deferred until today. Now, if this Question is, again, deferred because the Minister and the Assistant Minister are away, then we will not have done justice to my Question. This is an urgent Question. For a Question to be classified as a Question by Private Notice, it must be urgent in nature. Certainly, from the reading of this Question, it is urgent. So, I ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to state a point that I did not raise in my earlier point of order. At that time, the Minister even indicated that he needed time to consult with other Ministers. I expected that even if the Minister for Foreign Affairs is not present, then one of the other two Ministers could have answered the Question. However, meanwhile, if the Minister for Public Works is really and truly representing the Government side, could a corrective measure be taken? Could he guarantee this House that my people are not going to be harassed ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just concerned and maybe, the Minister can explain this. I am concerned about someone serving for ten years. What is the Government policy in terms of temporary appointments? Is it procedural for one to serve for ten years on temporary appointment? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted just to plead with the Government to understand that Kenyans are fatigued and they want the Constitution to be implemented. We are not moving. It is really sad that this Government proposes such kind of measures on these Bills. Can you allow this country to move? Let us finish with these Bills, as Mrs. Shebesh put it. If you look at The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill, you will find that it has been extensively debated--- view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government does not take this country seriously and this country wants things to flow. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for a very long time Nyanza has not been doing very well. But because of investment, maybe from the CDF, Nyanza schools have come up. I have just heard the Minister talk about making Kanga and Maranda national schools. Maranda made Nyanza for the first time produce the best performance in Kiswahili. Minister, this is not going to be acceptable to us. Maybe--- view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if he listened I was going to that. I am asking the Minister to nullify this exercise and sit down with stakeholders, so that we can identify which schools to improve. Take the worst performing schools and make them national schools. If you take our schools that perform well like Kanga and Maranda, which admit 80 per cent of our children, only ten per cent of our children will view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: get access to those schools. This will affect education in our place; we cannot accept it because we have suffered, for a long time, deteriorating academic performance. Please, do not touch Maranda and do not touch Kanga. Look for the worst performing schools. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
