• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is okay. If he is not ready to find out whether the person is not reinstated in two weeks, he can ask the Question then. There is no problem. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support, but in supporting, I would like to urge a compromise. I think it is important for the Government to be able to sit with the teachers and the Ministry of Education to be able to reach a compromise that will resolve this crisis for the sake of the children that are not in school and have nobody else to speak for them. It would be good for our education system if we reach a compromise, especially for the majority of schools that are public and are ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why did the hon. Member think I was lamenting? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a national issue, whether you are in the Government or not, and I would like to remind the hon. Member that I am not the Assistant Minister for Education. He should remember that since the Grand Coalition Government was formed, we have split many of these Ministries and there are some he might not even know. Mine is a different Ministry. I am the Assistant Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Exactly! Mr. Ethuro, I think Mr. C. Kilonzo referred to me as the Assistant Minister in the relevant Ministry. Anyway, that is neither here nor there. I think it is an important matter. He should be glad that I am supporting an important national issue rather than complain that I should not talk about it. I want to conclude by saying that it is important that, even as we employ more teachers, to also improve their overall teaching conditions in terms of salaries so that if they are better paid and their salaries are competitive, it would not be necessary ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you for calling me to contribute but not as a Seconder, if that is the problem. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: No, no! I am going to support if that makes some Members happy. I would like to say that--- view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seconding. I am as proud as many other Kenyans have been in the last one week about the great success of our heroines and heroes. Like many other Kenyans, I was asking that if we can be so successful, compete with the best in the world; the biggest powers and go side by side with Russia and the United States and do much better than most of the industrialized countries, why is it that we can only be among the top in sports, but not when it comes to economic development, governance and ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a clarification from hon. Mwau. The team has already been appointed. Unless he says that was an illegality, then we would have to start there. Secondly, it is on the basis of those appointments that you are replacing one of those, who is not available. Is hon. Mwau saying, according to the law that we should neither have appointed nor have replaced? Otherwise, what would be his recommendation? view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support the nomination of Rev. Kobia. I was in the committee that discussed this name. The Committee, as we were told earlier on, was quite unanimous on this matter for a number of reasons. One, the history of Rev. Kobia in terms of the liberation of this country is well known to many of us. It is an appropriate time and he would be the right person to be part of the change that we are witnessing now; a change that he has contributed to. Secondly, coming ... view
