This will also involve our rural folks to get into this wonderful art of the Kenyan woman. They should do their kiondos and perhaps go to higher levels of production.

• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy 430 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 15, 2008 Speaker, Sir, I have heard you. However, due to the prevailing circumstances--- I know that Dr. Kosgei, the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology is here but she has not been sworn-in. Similarly, I am sure that the Assistant Minister who is supposed to have answered this Question has not also been sworn-in. I want to plead with the Chair to give the Ministry more time to answer this Question. As the Leader of Government Business, I do not have the answer. That happens to be the naked truth! view

• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.98, this House orders that the publication period of the Accountants Bill be reduced from 14 to seven days. The reasons for this Procedural Motion, to the majority of us in this House, are very clearly elaborated. If we do not reduce the publication period today, it is likely that the request by the hon. Member for Isiolo South Constituency, Mr. Bahari, will have to be complied with because then we will not have any business. We will have no option but to adjourn. ... view
