• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not exactly what I am saying. I am not saying they are relocating so that the main campus begins another programme. I am saying in the Strategic Plan of Moi University 2005-2015--- view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the hon. Member allow me to respond to the Chair’s concern so that it is very clear? From the Strategic Plan of 2005- 2015, this school was going to be relocated anyway. At the time it was being relocated, Chepkoilel had become a university college. Even when you have a campus teaching education you can also have education being taught elsewhere. That has happened in other universities where you can start a programme and also initiate a new one. It is how you want to rearrange it. However, the main reason why it was moved ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I have the document then I can help the hon. Member. It is very misleading for the hon. Member to say something that is not correct. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Strategic Plan which is on page 12, we have the proposed department. I hope you have not changed my pages! On page 12, there is a proposed School of Environmental Studies. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks is sufficient, so that they can look for any information they wish to have. I also want to inform them that there was a meeting of Moi University Council on 19th August, 2010 and there are minutes which I will be able to provide if they will help the Committee. They will show that the meeting of the council approved the transfer of the School of Environmental Studies to Chepkoilel University College. This was just a fulfillment of their own strategic plan. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: I also want to mention to members of the committee that, as a Ministry, we would not like to distort any strategic plan that has been developed by a university. The reason is that you allow the growth of a university in a dynamic manner. If Chepkoilel had not matured into a university college, we would not have been privileged to see the strategic plan that they have. All the universities have their strategic plans. They are spreading currently to smaller colleges; we are very careful to ensure that does not destroy the national good. So, I also want to ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: We should not destabilize something that is already stable. There are some who left the same day happily because they had been waiting. I also want to mention that the transfer of this college was discussed exhaustively by the different faculties. It is the schools themselves, the School of Forestry and the School of Environmental Studies that, in 2005, said they must be one. So, again if you so wish, those minutes will be availed to help in the decision. Thank you. view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence to answer this Question later on. This Question had been sent to the Ministry of Agriculture and was re-directed to my Ministry on Monday, a day before I was sworn in and I saw it on Tuesday. The answer that we have currently requires a little bit of depth, especially on part “c” of the Question. I have already consulted with the Member for Eldoret South and I seek your permission to come back in two weeks because we need to address this issue of GMO thoroughly. So, I request that I come ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is for that reason that we want to be very thorough in our investigations. More so, our officers and ourselves will appear before the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives because there is a pending appointment between the Committee and us. I want to assure you that we will be thorough in the way we look at the issues so that we harmonize everything that is known. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to oppose the amendment. There is mischief sometimes during elections and you find that after you have your advertisement, other people run other advertisements in different colours in your name. It becomes very difficult. Even when the material has been published by yourself, you should say who you are. Even if it is your own, you must have an address, so that if it is authentic, people can address it somewhere and we can handle that. Before nominations, we have heard people saying that somebody has withdrawn and others have defected. Now that ... view
