• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: It is Kshs1 million. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually, he wanted to inform the rest of the House that I served in that said capacity. I did not deny that I was a magistrate. But, even as a magistrate, you are enjoined to follow the law as it is. Those who are lawyers will confirm that the Positivist School of Law holds that you have no business applying the law as you think it should be, and that you should apply it as it is. Nevertheless, I do not think that, that would water down the position. I think that today, there is ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I hope Mr. John Michuki who agonized a lot here, should keep his cool! view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member on the Floor in order to misread the Motion which seeks to abolish the death penalty and insist on referring to me as the Motion? view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Item 3111400 on Research, Feasibility Studies, Project Preparation and Design, Project Supervision, the allocation is slightly Kshs4.9 July 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2801 million, if I see it correctly. When the Minister spoke here he laid a lot of emphasis on the question of research. I am just wondering, within the area of development, is he satisfied that the allocation of Kshs4.9 million is enough for all these works; research, feasibility studies, project design, preparation and project supervision? view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say one or two things about this very key Vote. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that if Vision 2030; even though we have not had occasion to debate it here in the House, will have meaning in this country, then it must incorporate very serious issues that are addressed by the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am grateful that the Minister indicated, among other things, a programme called Roads 2000 Programme. We have been told that it will ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Under Head 847 - Primary Teachers Training Colleges - Headquarters - the last item there is on scholarships and other educational benefits. This is at the level of primary teacher training colleges. Last year, it is clear on that Item that there was an allocation of Kshs20 million. If you are talking about scholarships, could the Minister explain why that figure has come down by half? This year, you have proposed to allocate only Kshs10 million! view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on Page 1144, Head 836, Item 2210700 is on Training Expenses. Yesterday, I described this item as terribly wanting. You can see last year, this year, next year and the year after, it is proposed that Kshs50 million will be spend on training expenses. However, the Minister has spent a lot of time explaining the importance of quality assurance and standards. Could he explain who it is proposed to train with this meagre sum of Kshs50 million? Where will this training take place? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again on page 1144, that is now Board of Governors Maintained schools, I want to raise an issue on Item 2510100, Subsidies to Non- Financial Public Enterprises. Last year, there was no provision. This year there is a provisional sum of Kshs2.9 billion. Next year, it is proposed to be Kshs4.3 billion and the year after, Kshs6.5 billion. Could the Minister explain what this huge provision is all about? If, indeed, this is part of the payment for the certificates which are being held by schools, we need to go home singing halleluya. What is ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 1145, Head 827, there is a sub-vote on the Public Universities Inspection Board. I think it requires slightly younger people to see the figures which are in a very thin print. I want the Minister to explain whether the Public Universities Inspection Board has been abolished. Why is it that there is no provision for it during this financial year, or the years to come? I just want to have that clarified. view
