• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has taken a long time to resettle these IDPs. Some of them have not even moved to transition camps for example the ones who are in Kedong Valley near Longonot. There are also some in Gilgil near Lake Elementaita. When will these IDPs be moved to transitional camps near their farms? view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for us to be seen to uphold the spirit of unity, we should not be seen to be protecting police officers. If we want to reform the police force, we should correct any wrongdoing. The Assistant Minister seems to doubt what the Member of Parliament has said and seems to doubt that the person concerned was a policeman, and yet Mr. Washiali seems to be very sure. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister in his reply has said that recruitment of teachers is district-based. Nine teachers from outside my district were recruited in my district by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in the current financial year and yet we have enough teachers in the district to recruit. Is the Assistant Minister aware that the rule of the district-based recruitment is being violated? This policy is not being followed. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to commend the President’s Speech. He expounded the policies the Government will undertake. The President mentioned various challenges which faced this country last year. He mentioned what the view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I asked for the Floor to support the Motion of Adjournment. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: When our recess was cut short, it was for a purpose. We came back with various things to do. The agenda was not long, but it was intense. Several weeks later, we have made some progress, but not as much as we would have desired. That, in itself, does not mean that all is lost. I can assure my friends, who know some of the things we were involved in, that we did them to our level best. We feel that, perhaps, it is time to take a break, reflect on past things, and come back with ideas on how ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, for one, would welcome a break at this time, because in my constituency, we are getting ready to plant again. While we talk about famine in the country, which is very serious, we can, in fact, try to do something about it by making sure that we plant our next crop early. Our biggest problem is, of course, the fact that we have not yet seen the fertilizers that will help us plant the right crop. We want to plant and produce more food than we did last year. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I want to be there to hold as many barazas as possible to encourage my people to plant more. It is no secret at all that maize farmers this year feel that we have not taken care of their interests. Personally, I want to encourage my own constituents, as I go round the constituency, to plant more, so that we mitigate the next confusion as far as food is concerned. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Government Minister, I want to support this Motion of adjournment because, indeed, most of us have been tied up in Nairobi in various Committees. My Ministry also does not operate at the headquarters only. Indeed, last week, we did sign an agreement with the Africa Development Bank on how to revamp our technical institutes around the country, and how to get some new ones started. We do not want to do things in a haphazard manner. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: It is my intention to spend part of the time I will get for recess to visit various areas where we have technical institutes to satisfy myself that they are, indeed, working in the manner they are supposed to work in. If some of them require more support, I need to see for myself, and satisfy myself that, indeed, the support that will go there is important. This is the time when Government works on the next Budget. As a Minister, I do not want to support the officers to submit a Budget I am not sure of what it ... view
