• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am just wondering, can a Member speak twice on the same issue? view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, when the Constitution itself invites us to legislate further, what is it asking us to do if we are to confine ourselves to the argument that whatever the Constitution has set out, that is it? We are supposed to give flesh to the Constitution. The Constitution can only give us the principles and boundaries of the broad aspects. It is for us now to do the details. What is this Implementation Commission expected to do? What would be their principle purpose? It is to help in preparing Bills and laws for the National Assembly to legislate. ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am a Member of the Committee and the thinking here relates to the earlier one. If this Commission’s sole purpose is to help us in formulation of legislation, how does it help any of their members? What advantage would it give to any of the members in terms of an electoral position? One can understand the argument about the Electoral and Boundaries Review Commissions where you can see that there is conflict of interest in the sense that they may curve out something that might be advantageous to themselves. But in terms of ordinary legislation ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to put it on record that there is some matter which we should not have passed. If you look at the Schedule, particularly No.28, it asks: Have you ever been charged with a criminal offence in a court of law? So, it does not matter what we are doing today; if you were acquitted, it now becomes part of a record whereas my understanding of jurisprudence has been, it is a conviction which forms part of the record. I think it is really very sad that we are introducing this thing to our ... view

• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wish it to be on record that this is opening a window which will be used for witch-hunting to disqualify people who will want to seek offices. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Minister’s answer with regard to what the Ministry is doing. He is doing a good job, but I would like him to change to a user system like the one used for CDF funds. There are some areas which are more needy than others. There are some areas which have better roads than others. There are some constituencies which are bigger than others. So, instead of giving a uniform figure of Kshs27 million, he should create a formula where he allocates funds according to the needs and the size of each constituency. view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education, the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the Kenya Primary School Head Teachers Association (KEPSHA) held an Annual Conference in Mombasa between 3rd and 8th October, 2010? (b) Could the Minister explain why the Ministry allowed the Kenya Primary School Head Association (KEPSHA) to hold the annual conference while they should be in their respective schools to prepare pupils for the KCPE examination? (c) Will such a meeting affect the performance of the KCPE examination and end of year examinations for all classes? view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the point I want to raise with the Minister is the following; At this time, students are preparing for exams. For them to be in the right mind, headteachers and all the other teachers are supposed to be in school to guide, help and counsel them so that they can prepare for exams. When headteachers leave and pupils know that they have gone to Mombasa, what comes up in the mind of a young person? What does the young person think about that; that the headteacher has travelled to Mombasa for a meeting? Finally--- view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister deny or accept that holding this conference is against the policy of the Ministry, that there should be no activities taking place in schoolsl in the third term? view
