• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: There is the issue of capacity building. When it comes to corruption, it is not only public servants who are involved in corruption. We also have partnerships and performers in the private sector who initiate corruption practices. The Auditor-General should have the freedom and powers to sue such institutions. We need to capture this very clearly in this Bill. Empowerment, therefore, of the Auditor-General’s Office is very important. This House should find it of interest to empower the Auditor-General. If, indeed, he has to bring order even in the private sector then he must rise above board so that he ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family of hon. Muchai. I am also doing this on behalf of Shinyalu people. I had the opportunity to travel with hon. Muchai to Mombasa and I had moments together with him. The memories of what he said will remain very clear in my mind for a long time. It was saddening to imagine the agony that the family went through as those gunmen felled down our brothers one after the other. We have adjourned many times and discussed the issue of insecurity. It is high time we took ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I speak on behalf of Shinyalu people, my own behalf and on behalf of Senator Kajwang’s family in Shinyalu. Hon. Senator Kajwang’ is our brother-in-law and he has never hesitated to associate himself with Shinyalu. As we speak, there is mourning in Shinyalu for this man of humour, a mentor and a people’s representative. May his soul rest in eternal peace. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The appointment of Dr. Lydia Nzomo is long overdue. I want to observe that the Kenyan populace has been denied essential service by the absence of the Commission. The Commission should be in place, so that the Kenyan public can get education services, which are fundamental. This has taken a long time. We have issues pending like the recruitment of teachers. We are now experiencing a deficit of more than 90,000 teachers and decisions on this have not been made comprehensively because of the fact that the Commission is not in place. The appointment ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We took cognizance of the fact that Dr. Lydia Nzomo is an educationist per excellence. Upon her initial retirement, she took up teaching duties at the Kenyatta University (KU), where she served efficiently. We think when she brings her experience to Teachers Service Commission (TSC) we will serve Kenyans effectively. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to specifically point at her orientation as a reformist. Dr. Nzomo is a reformist and we were very happy with her position on the issue of performance contracting. She positively thought that teachers need to be put on performance contracting, so that we ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Leader of Majority Party, hon. A.B. Duale, for granting me this minute. I would like to thank the Leader of Majority Party, hon. A.B. Duale, for granting me this minute. This is very important Bill because the Public Service is the face of Kenyans, the Government; the Bill is an answer to all our challenges. Kenyans entrust all their commitments to the Government, and it is very important that we have a Public Service that is value-based and that provides servant leadership, and not one that ... view

• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Water as a resource is very fundamental to the well being of individuals and society in general. I would like to commend a Minister for Water and this House in 2002 when they came up with water sector reforms. This provided a basis for improvement of water provision. But the need for alignment of these reforms to constitutional provisions now is very important. For that reason, I would like to support this Bill, especially when it comes to the management of water resource areas. We have many challenges here. We have been discussing the ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: strategic irrigation schemes that can enable us to have a sustainable food security programme. Water is central in all this. We have many times spent a lot of money in managing our infrastructure like our rural roads. When the rains come we are happy because they enable us to have food. However, the rains wash away roads. We are all the time using money to construct and repair roads. It is very important that when we are reviewing these policies we see how we can invest strategically even in the construction and management of all-weather roads. This way we will ... view
