• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Vote. Let me also thank the Minister and his team - the technocrats of the Ministry of Education - for running the Ministry in the most efficient way. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have only three points, which I want to highlight. The first one is in line with the Vision 2030. If we are going to achieve any important progress, the Ministry should approach the issue--- view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will try to be very fast. I was saying that in line with Vision 2030, the Ministry should look into the possibility of ensuring that we have constituent university colleges in every district, so that each district will be able to access higher education. The other very critical point is the issue of ICT. We needed all secondary schools to be provided with computers, so that they be at par with the rest of the country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, for the sake of children from poor families, the Government ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: bursaries provided to secondary school students by local authorities, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and the Ministry of Education, so that we can fund free education for all children, right from primary to secondary school levels. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that the people who were allocated plots at Olchurrai Settlement Scheme in Gilgil Division, Naivasha District, have been displaced by outsiders; (b) how many people have been displaced and why; (c) whether he could state the names of the people who displaced them and where they are from; and, (d) where the displaced people will be re-settled since they have nowhere else to live. view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to respond to the proposals of the Office of the President, as presented by the Minister. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are very much aware that the Office of the President is the nerve centre for national security. view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my view, proper funding should have been given to this Ministry. Insecurity level in our country today has reached an unacceptable level. The Government must address this issue critically, seriously and immediately. Take for example the situation in Mt. Elgon. Look at the Mungiki menace in Central Kenya and Nairobi. view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is part of insecurity. Look at the militia harassing people in Kwale District. Look at the perennial cattle rustling in East Baringo, West Pokot, Samburu, Turkana and Marsabit. Look at the cross-border raids from neighbouring countries in Moyale and Mandera. Look at urban crimes. Look at the inhumane eviction of humans from their land. Kenyans want to live in peace and this Government must provide that environment. We must understand that security leads to development and without security, there is no economic development. I am very surprised that for the last four-and-a-half years, this Government has ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Food security also affects national security. What is the cause of cattle rustling, for example? The Minister should tell us what are the root causes of cattle rustling, so that we can tackle them. Is it caused by food insecurity or lack of money? As we know, areas like West Pokot, Samburu, Marsabit and so on, are prone to drought. Of course, when the livestock in those areas die due to the drought, the communities there will continue raiding the neighbouring communities. That is a security problem. How do we address it? These are the ... view
