• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I came rushing to make a contribution to this Bill. Along with this amendment, we may want to consider broadening the Bill to embrace the aspect of continuous assessment. It is very important because some of those certificates and examination results are being politicized. If we have an opportunity for continuous assessment to be accommodated alongside the certificates, that will help us.

• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: There is also the awards programme. We need to stress on the awards programme within the examination process. It is where we look at the questions that have been set and say whether it is the candidate who failed the exams, the setter of the exams or the marker who failed. Some questions fail before they are even attempted. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of the rights of victims. Kenyans have rights. If a child was involved in examination cheating because the teacher initiated it, then that child should not be condemned. I support the idea of investigations, so that we can establish who initiated the process of cheating. I also want to support the issue of getting the students to be free from some of the mistakes that are made by school administration, examination inspectors and supervisors because the child has a right. We have incidents where children are denied opportunity to sit for exams because they are ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: I want to thank my brother, Hon. Agoi, for giving me this chance to contribute. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is in public knowledge that the amount of theft that is happening in the Government is immense. The Member has said that theft is happening. We cannot say he is cheating. He is right to say that because we know that these people have been arraigned in court. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on the President’s Address on the state of the nation. We know who the President is and you could see in his body language that he has good intentions. He seems to mean well. However, when you listen to what he conveyed through the State of the Nation Address, you worry for the President. There are people who are cheating him about the state of the nation. Our Constitution has set a very viable and clear roadmap for consolidation of Kenya as a nation, and it spells ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The greatest benefit that our Constitution brings to Kenyans is devolution. For a long time, Kenyans have toyed with the vice of marginalisation, exclusion and general underdevelopment. Devolution is what would mitigate these extreme vices like marginalisation. It is a pity that as we implement devolution, we have a lot of teething challenges. It is these challenges that make devolution a monster in some areas. Devolution now appears to contradict its own positive attributes. The idea of having a committee on devolution is long overdue. ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: However, we cannot say all has been lost. We have had some gains. In my constituency, we are experiencing the first kilometre of tarmac. For the first time, we are going to see tarmac because the main road that runs from Kisumu to Webuye just passes by and we cannot say it serves us. The first one that cuts across the constituency is happening courtesy of devolution, but it also has its challenges. When that is happening, on the other side, there is duplication of services among assistant chiefs, chiefs and Assistant County Commissioners vis-à-vis county administrators. The services which ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: As we review the progress that we have made, it is important to even revisit legislation. We should not be afraid of revisiting the legislation that provides for this, even if it means a referendum. We need to understand, from the outset, the worth of such an undertaking because some of these undertakings can be very costly. However, they cannot be as costly as corruption. One of the functions that have been devolved is corruption. People have changed their private lives courtesy of corruption and it enhances impunity in this country. We have small gods and goddesses around because of ... view
