• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Nyamweya has presented documents here with regard to the Bomas Conference, but these documents are so bulky. I would have wished that we benefitted from the information that he has, because he has only said that “he mishandled”, but I do not think this House will find time to read these documents and see how Mr. Lumumba mishandled that conference. Could we benefit from the information that he has by him telling us, in a summary, how he did mishandle the Bomas Conference? view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to also support the Bill before us, that is the Counter- Trafficking in Persons Bill, 2010. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me also to congratulate Ms. Odhiambo for coming up with this well thought out Bill that I think is timely. I think that, as a House, we need to support the hon. Member who has come up with this wonderful idea.

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Ms. Odhiambo made an allegation which I think is in order for her to clarify. I did not say that we castrate men. I only said we castrate men who misbehave by raping small children. view

• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) what informed the Ministry’s decision to employ intern teachers instead of hiring teachers on permanent basis; and, (b) whether he could use the 2009/2010 allocation, which was meant to hire intern teachers, to recruit teachers on permanent basis to meet the shortfall in understaffed regions. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when it comes to education of our children, I think a lot of care needs to be taken by the Government when they are making any decision.

• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will realize that the Minister could not answer my Question well, because he was giving a long and winding speech that you get confused along the way. I thought Prof. Ongeri was a Medical Doctor and could summarize. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, when two bulls fight, it is the grass that suffers. From the Minister’s answer, I realized that the Ministry has no immediate intention of employing teachers on permanent terms. The Government has been giving us very nice figures of how students/pupil population is increasing in our schools. Could the Minister ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is not the responsibility of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance to decide which district headquarters should be developed. The Assistant Minister has told us some of the criteria they used in deciding what district headquarters were to be developed. Could he specifically tell us why Nzambani District headquarter was not developed based on his criteria? What were the specific reasons? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister seems to be evading the Question, which is very specific. Could he tell us why Nzambani is not part of the 37 districts that are being developed? Is there a reason or it was arbitrary? view
