• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think hon. Karua has not read this report. If she did, then she has forgotten. If you look on page five, it is very clear that the Committee faced serious challenges. The first was the attempt by the then Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, hon. Karua and the Member for Gichugu, to stop investigations by the Committee on the flimsy ground that the issues the Committee sought to investigate were subject of investigations by the Executive appointed Commission of Inquiry led by a former Commissioner of Police, Mr. Shadrack Kiruki. The Member talked about ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I still have time. Why should I be harassed? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really do not want to go back to the point of order that has been raised by hon. Karua because I have already made my point. She has talked about raising a point of order. However, there is a letter which cannot be equated to raising a point of order. I just wanted my colleague, who is a very good friend of mine and a very strong Member of the Opposition, to be ready to take responsibility for what she did previously. This report is about the Government. The Member should accept that she was ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. You heard the Deputy Prime and Minister for Finance say somebody is using unparliamentary language in the House. In this House, there is no somebody. We have hon. Members. Is it in order for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to refer to an hon. Member as somebody? view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister list all the engineering courses currently offered by Egerton University whose graduates are not eligible for registration by the Engineers Registration Board of Kenya (ERB), provide a list of all the graduates of the respective courses and explain why the Joint Admissions Board (JAB) continues to admit students to those courses? (b) What steps, including inter-ministerial consultations, is the Government taking to ensure that JAB admits students only to engineering courses whose graduates are eligible ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when our children pass their Form IV examinations, the hope of the parents is that they have made a major milestone towards a better future. However, if our children are lured to do courses which are not relevant and not acceptable, then it is a cause for concern to the parents and the affected students. From the Assistant Minister’s answer, it is very clear that the curriculum being offered, especially by Egerton University with regard to those courses is deficient in terms of the requirements of the ERB. For those students who graduated before the revision of ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that the university wrote to the ERB in February and up to date the Assistant Minister is not sure of the action they took, and given that universities continues to admit students for these courses, what is he doing to make sure that once they complete their training they will be employed and that they too will be registered? view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to keep on referring to investigations, yet the principal has even refunded the money? That is confession of guilt. What is this investigation that the Assistant Minister keeps on referring to when the principal has accepted and refunded the money? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House that his actions depict him as Kenyan, yet we know very well that since he became the Minister for Transport, of the three senior appointments he has made, he has only appointed people from his ethnic community? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate your ruling, but I think what the hon. Member was canvassing was the conduct of Ministers, who are public officers and are entitled to accountability to the Kenyan public. So, hon. C. Kilonzo was not imputing improper motive but probing the conduct of Cabinet Ministers in discharging their duties, which they are entrusted to do on behalf of the people of Kenya. view
