• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, aware that the Ministry of Education is currently giving bursaries to schools and further aware that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is also being used to supplement bursaries, yet this is still inadequate, could the Ministry consider giving special bursaries to these students whose certificates have been held for, at least, more than three years? view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to say that there is a directive when he is quoting that the directive asked and not directed the head teachers to release the certificates? Is it a directive or request? view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I want to start by saying that we are seeing impunity perpetuated. Kenya is a new Republic today. We are in our Second Republic. Therefore, we will not allow this impunity to continue. The law is clear. The law says not less than 2.5 per cent. The Minister continues to give us less than 2.5 per cent. This is impunity. We demand accountability from our Minister on behalf of Kenyans. I am glad that the Minister is here. We want this money immediately. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why this House is going to be very unco-operative with the Minister is that we recently passed a new Constitution. The new Constitution is very emphatic on devolution. The most critical element of devolution is financial devolution. With these trends, we fear that Treasury has no respect for this devolution.

I want to ask the Minister to guarantee to this House ... view

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House? I know for a fact that the Ministry of Education takes 10 per cent of the Kenyan Budget. The Department of Defence takes 4.6 per cent. If you want to calculate percentages, you calculate the percentage of the total. If he is in order, he should table which law allows him to subtract before he calculates the percentages. Otherwise, the intent and purpose of the law is to address the total ordinary revenue. There is nowhere that it says that ... view

• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the Motion by taking cognizance of the fact that I represent the people of Rangwe, and as I represent the people of Rangwe, I know there are many, many deserving people there. On the issue of representation, we cannot all be there. As an hon. Member of this Parliament, I feel adequately represented in the Committee. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I want to say that this Committee is a true representation of the House and the fact that we are in the second Republic is, indeed, a pride to every hon. Member of this House. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this early opportunity to congratulate hon. Members of the Committee. But I want to urge them to ensure that they are guided by utmost patriotism when they are doing their job. The days when we used to be guided by parochial issues are over. We are looking forward to this Committee on behalf of the House to ensure that the implementation of this new Constitution is true to the letter and the spirit. We want to ensure that the joy and the happiness that was promised in this new Constitution is realized soonest ... view
