• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as hon. Kigen has rightly said, we leave our places of residence very early and come here to transact business. Maybe, what you have been giving as punishment to the Government side has been very soft. Could you please give us one hour’s rest so that the Minister who is here can look for these people to come back so that we resume after one hour, because they are wasting our time? All the Backbenchers have asked Questions and no response has been given. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a very interesting Bill which has come at a time when so many things have taken place. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we hear Members talk about Kenyans not being able to get their identity cards. Can Members issue them to themselves? Who is responsible for the issuance of ID cards in this country? view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the Government. Whether it is ODM, it is the Government. I want to plead with Members here not to play into the hands of the Government. All these time, there have been complaints that there were no funds to give Kenyans ID cards. If you are going to rescind now and accept that we let this Bill go through, it will mean that the Government is going to succeed in the game they have been playing all along. In that respect, I want hon. Members to really be sober when they are discussing this ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is a very important Bill for this House and we must be thinking about it very soberly. Many of us need more time to actually look at the Bill and, maybe, propose some further amendments. Therefore, I would like to plead with the Chair that this Bill be delayed to tomorrow afternoon. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the same line, I had sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education regarding employment of teachers as they leave college. He was supposed to be informed of the request by the Leader of Government Business. I can see the Minister here. I do not know whether he is ready with the Statement or not, or whether he has got the information. view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister and his commitment to visit Migori, and in particular God Ngoche Girls Secondary School. One of the factors that the Assistant Minister has mentioned, which is bringing this disparity in all the eight constituencies in Migori County is early marriage. This could be sorted out if we had schools for girls. Could the Assistant Minister consider putting up more girls’ boarding schools in Migori apart from God Ngoche and two others which exist, especially in my constituency? view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having been given that good answer, I just want to inform the Assistant Minister that when he goes to Migori, he will find that, that school has one classroom. It is being shared as a staffroom, laboratory and another thing that I saw when I went there. So, when you go there, please, could you consider in putting up a laboratory in that school? That way, those girls can actually learn sciences because science is the future of Kenya. I want to welcome you to Migori and when you go, please, let me know so that we ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister make three contradictory statements. First, he started by saying that he will take care of this hospital when funds are available, and this has been used by many Ministers before. Secondly, he said that there is money that he has requested in the Budget and lastly, he has just said that he will go to the Ministry of Finance this afternoon. Will I be in order to ask for your indulgence that this Question is deferred until the Assistant Minister comes back with another ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) What the comparative statistics of girl-child education and that of the boy-child at the end of fourth form in Migori County are; (b) What the reasons for the disparity are; and (c) When the Minister will improve the infrastructure at God Ngoche Girls Boarding School to cater for those girls who were scared after the 2008 skirmishes along the Migori/Trans mara border. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Minister has resolved the teacher’s strike and today he has made another announcement on postponement of examinations without consultations, I thought he would be available today because this Question has been appearing on the Order Paper for a long time now. You can decide when it can come back on the Order Paper. view
