• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: It is important that we relook at our national curriculum. The difference between development in countries is in terms of the focus and content of their national curriculum of education. Countries like Cuba have gone a long way purely because of education. Turkey just recently took off on account of its revised focus on content on the national curriculum. It is important that we take this opportunity to get the focus and content of our curriculum once and for all. It is also very important to appreciate that education makes us what we are today. What we are today is ... view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support the amendment but, in doing so, I want to bring to the attention of the Minister the fact that there has been an earlier response in this House by his Ministry to the question of operationalisation of the newly created 80 constituencies. The verdict was that those constituencies were not valid for the purposes of the next general election unless hon. Mutula’s amendments were carried. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Being a new clause, I thought this one required seconding. Would I be in order? view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support these new regulations in the amended forms. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to propose that regulation 33(a) be considered in its amended form by deleting “(2)(b) other logistical considerations.” When we talk about Kenyans in the diaspora, we are saying that we will have Kenyans in Somalia, Uganda, Tanzania and far apart. When you bring in other logistical considerations, they vary with every country. It is liable to abuse, particularly when we are just indulging in this for the first time. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the second one is ... view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you have already ruled. How do I go back? view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was not following. I do not know to what extent the Schedule runs, but I want to get it from hon. Amina Abdalla, just for information. I was not here when this was being clarified. I am looking at Form C, APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION AS A VOTER, where we have “Registration Officer, County, Ward and Registration Centre”. I am not seeing “Constituency”. I do not know the wisdom behind that omission. So, if the hon. Member could enlighten me and the House, please. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support this amendment. I think it will go a long way in addressing these issues including in foreign appointments. I also want to emphasize that we need to bring this in so that even at the village level where recruitment is done, cognizance is taken of the constitutional requirements, that there is a regional balance. I support. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have heard the Minister, but allow me to say this, on account of the amendment I have proposed. The Minister is under siege today at Treasury. He needs a lot of money. Any avenue that can give him legal money should be encouraged. My amendment goes beyond his amendment. I think it hurts nothing. A study has already been done on this matter. You will remember that Capital Gain Tax was suspended, first, in 1978. There was an attempt to bring it back as late as 2006. Today, we have seen the industrial unrest ... view
