• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we should believe in the principle of one man, one job or one woman, one job for that matter. If we are talking of ourselves, as the Members of this House, to occupy two or three positions, what about the councillor down there? Is he going to be allowed to vie for councillor and Member of Parliament? We will balkanise this country, if we go that way. I would rather we unite this country. Let Kenyans be given a chance to chose who they want, from the few Kenyans that will present themselves for election. view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not only North Horr Girls Secondary School which has a problem regarding the ESP money. At the moment, we are about to close the Budget making process. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House how much the Ministry has requested from the Ministry of Finance with regard to this school and many other schools in the Republic? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister, Prof. Olweny, is seated next to the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife. He should have used this time to consult. However, my concern is this: Could the Assistant Minister inform the House whether the schools we are talking about are registered by the Ministry at the moment? He just stated here earlier that they do not register schools which do not own land. If they have been registered, how did you register them? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are quite a number of containers and probably Kenyans would like to know the contents of the containers. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are talking about the lives of almost 2,000 people who will lose their jobs. When the council decided to demolish the structures, did they think of any other alternative arrangement to ensure that those people continue with their livelihoods? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is advising Kenyans to carry out crop rotation as a cure for this disease. I would like him to give us the reports from KARI and Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS) for us to see what the cause of this disease is. According to KEPHIS, the disease is in the seed that we plant. So, can he give us the reports from the two organisations? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to respond and in my response I want to start by thanking the Assistant Minister for the assurance he has given this House. I want to thank the hon. Members of Parliament who have very ably agitated that the teachers deserve to be paid this money. I also want to thank the teachers, both the ones in service and those who have retired for working for Kenyans without any kickbacks the way it is done elsewhere. When we talk about teachers’ pensions being delayed, it reminds us of the money ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the question before us today is not whether or not there is money to be paid. Money is there because Kshs3.34 billion was voted in this House to pay the teachers during the current financial year. This money is with the Treasury. The Minister has come here and he has said that the money is there. The question is bureaucracy in paying this Kshs3.34 billion to the teachers who actually deserve it and it is good that the Minister has assured us that this money will be paid. We are calling upon the Attorney-General and the ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, teachers as other workers deserve better treatment. We are not only talking about the delay of teachers’ pensions but we know other colleagues that have done very good jobs in this country who are not being paid the pensions that they deserve. We talk about the police and the armed forces. These are people that have defended this land and when it comes to their pensions, they have a problem. When we come back to the teachers, a Chief Principal who retired about ten years ago is given a pension of about Kshs15,000. A P1 teacher ... view
