• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support. I think in every constituency in Kenya there are thousands of students who have passed very well and who are crying for their results. However, I want to caution the Minister. He better think of how to cushion the schools because they have debts which have been making them behave this way. We need another measure to counter-balance, but I strongly support. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the Minister, the Committee and the entire House for passing this timely Bill, but I would also like to remind the Minister a related matter. The imposing of Value Added Tax (VAT) on M-Pesa transactions is going to adversely affect the education sector. That is how we send money to our children in schools for bus fare, and sometimes pay school fees. So, as we are doing one good thing with one hand, the other hand is withdrawing that good. Could he, therefore, liaise with his colleague to address those ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to order that the gravel be removed, having confirmed that he is aware the road is not motorable, instead of ordering for the gravel to be leveled? We already have a weather focus that the El Niño rains are coming. Is he in order to even cause more suffering to the people of Ikolomani, Butere and others who are using that road by ordering that the gravel be removed instead of being leveled? view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance:- (a) whether he is aware that 86 former employees of Kenya Commercial Bank Ltd. (KCB) have not been paid their pension dues; and, (b) what he is doing to expedite the settlement of their dues. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that answer, but point out to him that it is totally inaccurate. I have just received information through text that, indeed, the 86 were paid, but not completely because there are still disputes in the actuarial calculations and that the whole dispute was not just about the 86, but 690 people who are yet to be paid. What is the Minister doing to ensure that the actuarial calculations view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have told the Minister that the information I have just received from the claimants who asked me to ask the Question is that even for the 86, there is still a dispute in the actuarial calculations. So, their position is that what they were paid is not the rightful amount. I have asked the Minister what he is doing about that and he has not answered that question. I am willing to give him information on the 595 people. I wish to table the list of the tribunal case. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 19th September, 2012, I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in charge of internal security regarding an arson attack on the NARC-KENYA Governor aspirant for Turkana County, one Mathew Rogulale. The Ministerial Statement was to be given on the Thursday of the following week, which was two weeks ago. I am wondering whether it would be in order for the Minister to indicate when he can give the long overdue Statement. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had the privilege of seeing a copy of the postmortem report. It is clear that, that man was taken to the hospital by the police in comatose. He had injuries on the head among other parts of the body, by both blunt and sharp objects. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House whether the police have bothered to find out how he obtained those injuries; whether it was after or before the arrest, and if that is recorded in the Occurrence Book (OB)? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House when it is clear that he died from both blunt force and sharp force? I want to table a copy of the postmortem report that shows very clearly that both blunt and sharp object were used. He is, however, insisting on only blunt object. view
