• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, we are targeting about 18 million registered voters in the country and time is lapsing. If elections were to be done either in December or March next year, I think there is a lot to be done with regard to voter registration. This House really needs to release funds to that institution without further delay. The Commission on Revenue Allocation has been going round this country trying to come up with the criteria and formula of sharing resources between the national and county governments. That commission needs to be facilitated as ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The Commission on Administration of Justice also needs to be facilitated as fast as possible. That is because being in an electioneering year, together with the Commission on National Cohesion and Integration, they really need to do a lot in terms of ensuring that there is unity and peace during this campaign period in this country. Those are the Commissions that are really monitoring hate speech from any source and we must commend them. I would like particularly to commend the Commission on National Cohesion and Integration. They are now going country-wide, trying to really supervise or monitor everywhere. You ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: My colleagues have talked about defence and internal insecurity with respect to what is going on in Somalia, or even internally with the fight against Al-Shabaab and other illegal groups that are bringing insecurity to our country. We have only four days left. We need to give them money so that from 1st of July, they can still go on with those activities. Having said that, and without anticipating debate, the House might be going on recess this afternoon. We should not really delay a lot. We should release money to those institutions. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ongoing reforms in the Judiciary such as the vetting of judges, among others, cannot wait any longer to be given money to continue doing that work. Under the Ministry of Education, we have heard that our schools might be closed due to lack of funds and, maybe, if those funds are in this Budget, I think, as a House, we need to approve and release that money as fast as possible for our children to continue learning. The issue of election and voter registration is not possible without giving our youth national identity cards. ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister talked about the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and the funds meant for the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. Now that we may be going on recess and this being an electioneering year, I would really support what he said while moving the Appropriation Bill. He said all monies meant for CDF projects will be released by December this year. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge the parliamentary Committee in charge of CDF to make sure that once we pass this Appropriation Bill, this money will be released immediately. I hope by the time we break for recess, the schedule will be out for us to know how much is allocated to each constituency. That will be good enough for us. It will help us to know which projects to fund and incorporate our constituents’ proposals. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill. view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also want to add my voice in support of this very important Bill. As my colleagues have said, it is a very important sector for the development of this country. view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has got a lot of good things. If you look at Clause 4 on the guiding principles, where there is reference to Articles 10, 232 and 53 of the Constitution that will make the education sector universal for the whole country. Everybody will be taken into account on the issues of national values and principles of governance. I think it is going to be very inclusive and everybody is going to enjoy the fruits of this Constitution with respect to education. view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also very happy with Clause 6 on qualifications for the appointment of the Chairperson and members of the Commission. They are very clear and they have really taken qualification and education background of people into consideration. It is good that the right people are in the right places. Also, the functions of the Commission are very clear in Clause 11. I think it is a turning point because, first of all, the issue of formulating policies--- I think this time, we are giving the sector that is charged with education affairs to really come ... view
