• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, unless something is done, I am afraid cattle rustling is not going to end. So, it is really the work of the Government to look into the issue of cattle rustling. Let us not pretend that it is a culture, it is not! It is a way of earning a living. If you have nothing to do--- For a young person who is idle and does not have animals, the option which is there for anybody to earn a living is cattle rustling. If there are no other activities there, they will adopt that system. ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, let me say that I sympathise with the Minister. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not understand how I would be out of order in relation to the point that has been raised. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is clear that the Ministry has been awfully under-funded. Part of the reason for this, as we have been told, is that during categorisation of the Government, the Ministry was not put in the category where it should be. This is a security related Ministry. We are talking about its face to the rest of the world as being important, but if we do not fund or equip it, how do we expect it to carry out the functions we would want it to carry out? I have had the privilege of going round ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we do say that, indeed, we have moved to economic diplomacy, and that is the way we must, what is it that we are actually projecting out there? If you visit the missions, you will find us only dealing with tourism, coffee and tea and yet we are beyond that now. We provide services in this region. We are an economy which gives you anything that you require in the world but we do not see that being reflected out there. If you control the whole of Africa in terms of the air transport, ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other aspect which we are not utilizing properly is that everybody talks about our strategic interests and how strategically we are placed in the coast of East Africa but do we get reciprocation from our partners? I say this because sometimes, they get carried away when they lecture us. What is it in return that they are prepared to contribute towards Kenya’s responsibility in the Indian Ocean and East and Central Africa region? I do recall, and I think the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons was telling us the other day about ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I sincerely thank the Mover of this Motion for bringing it up for debate. This Motion is very important because education, as far as I am concerned, is the key for any development activity which we may have as a nation. The parents have sacrificed so much to educate their children to go through secondary education. The start of the parallel degree programme at the university was a very noble idea. It helped many students who were deserving and could not get ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the moment the enrolment under the parallel degree programme stands higher compared to regular students. That means that our universities now concentrate on parallel students. If the initial purpose of this programme was to help the few students who missed the chance to join university but now it helps the majority, it means the system has failed and it has to be re-looked into properly. The Government should come up with a better policy to finance education. As things stand now, the HELB is inadequately funded by the Government. It should be funded better. ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: The other issue is that students attend classes in the evening. I think the parallel degree programme should be for mature students. It should be for people who work or did not qualify to go to university for one reason or another. So, they would understand what they are being taught and take it more seriously. The challenge there is the performance. How are the results co-related? How do they come out? At the moment, you will find that all the universities are moving to all towns looking for a place to open a college. To me, universities are meant ... view
