• 22 May 2013 in Senate: A minimum of Kshs400 billion should go to the counties, and then we get to the second level of distributing between the counties. So, Madam Temporary Speaker, we have to take our role as Senators seriously as our constitutional duty. We should not be beaten by any person because ours is to deliver. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know I have very little time. The way this budget has been organized is the traditional method. Those officials are actually very busy.

• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I also want to thank my good friend, the bull fighter, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, for being the very first Senator to bring a Motion to this Senate. A Motion on a very important subject, that is education. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am supporting the Motion on principle. Education is no longer a privilege to be enjoyed by a few rich and powerful people. Education is a basic human right to be enjoyed by all Kenyans irrespective of their economic, social or ... view

After this Motion is successfully moved, who from the Government side will respond on behalf of the Department of Education? view
