• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I trust my words that, that is very correct. Maybe the hon. Member was not in the Presidential campaign team of the ODM. That is a fact. There was that pledge that all constituencies would become districts. I was talking about the livestock sector. Every time a sector goes down, the Government chips in to revive it. It writes off loans, for example, in the coffee and tea sectors, to boost the sectors. However, in the livestock sector, there has never been a policy to restock or to boost that sector. I heard the ODM ... view
• 11 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. But I would like to inform the proposed hon. Members of the House Business Committee that this Tenth Parliament is unique in the sense that there may not be an Opposition. Therefore, the membership of the House Business Committee will be fully Government. We are interested in Private Members' Bills. I would like to request that the proposed Committee gives priority to Private Members' Bills and Motions. I know that Private Members' Motions are set for Wednesday mornings, but in the last Parliament many of the Private Members' Bills never saw the light ... view
• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion. First, I would like to congratulate the Ministry officials and other stakeholders who came together and drafted such a wonderful Sessional Paper. The National Youth Policy visualises a society where the youth have an equal opportunity, as other citizens, to realise their full potential. They will productively participate in economic, social, political, cultural and religious lives without fear or favour. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many issues that affect the youth of this country. But I just want to mention three ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. I would like to thank Prof. Mango, for moving this Motion. Last year, this House passed a similar Motion on orphans and vulnerable children, with regard to the provision of free secondary education. But that Motion was never implemented. Prof. Mango has moved in the right direction to seek leave to introduce a Bill that will cater for those important people in our society. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have over 1.2 million orphans in our country. As the Mover of the Motion ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need to implement Motions that are brought in this House, like the one I brought last year urging the Government to order schools to release certificates to secondary school leavers. We should put such a Motion in a legal framework. That will compel the Government to offer those poor orphans clothing, shelter, medical facilities and basic human rights. I hope this House will pass the proposed Bill before it is dissolved. If Parliament is dissolved after having passed this important Bill, we will have done justice to that section of our society. Mr. Deputy ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice in support of this Motion. First, I want to congratulate the Mover, Mr. Angwenyi, for bringing a very well thought- out-Motion. We have free primary education in our country. But a very big segment of our August 22, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3345 population is not able to access that free education. That is because, instead of starting it from level one, we started it from a higher level. The free primary education should have started at the level of early childhood education. Children ... view

• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just going to talk about one river in my constituency which is called Noolturesh River. This is the only permanent source of water in my constituency from which the Noolturesh pipeline diverted water, causing a lot of water shortage in that constituency. I would like to tell the Ministry that what was done at the source in 1990 was planned for a population which is now ten times more than what it was at that time. So, Loitokitok has a shortage of water and what we require at the source of the river, ... view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute in support of this Motion. Education is very vital for the development of any country. First of all, we want to appreciate the measures the Government has put in place with regard to the education of our children, starting with the introduction of the Free Primary Education (FPE) to the proposed waiver of tuition fees at secondary school level. However, there is still a lot to be done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now we are talking about the proposed free secondary school education, but there is a lot to be ... view
