• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that I want to raise is somehow related but perhaps not exactly the same as what hon. Mbadi has raised. I would like the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government to clarify the issue of eligibility as opposed to embezzlement. Could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government please clarify whether in an interim report, final report or any report of any nature that has been presented or will be presented, whether the issue of embezzlement has come up or it is the issue of eligibility, which is very different?

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting, I want to thank the Minister for bringing this Bill. I will be very brief. Like the other Members who have spoken, it is not enough to bring a Bill. There must be real change. We do not want the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) repackaged. We know that the KIA has done a reasonably good job under the circumstances that it has operated, but we are competing with world class and competing world class, we must provide cutting edge education to our civil servants. About three weeks ago, I was in a ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: classes. If, as a country, we can pick up something that another country has been doing and perfect it for the betterment of this country, that is the innovation that we are looking at this institute to provide. It is not that we have come with a new Constitution and all that we are doing is repackaging the old institutes. Even the Bible says that if you put new wine into an old wine skin, it will burst. So, we must put new wine into new wine skins. I heard a Member talking about how impressive it is that our ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us go to our African culture that taught us to let other people thank us, and not to ask other people to thank us. What culture is this where somebody has done me a good turn and I am the one who asks them to notice what view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I have done? If they have not noticed, then they are bad characters; forget about them. Let us change this country. By the time we will be teaching people ethics at the Kenya School of Government, it will be too late. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I would like to ask the Minister for Public Service to talk to his counterpart in the Ministry of Education. These are things that we must start at the early childhood education level; at the time we are training Government officials about ethics, it is very difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. If the only way the dog knows for getting water is to wag its tail, then it will only do so. So, let us not get the dog wagging its tail, which it has been doing all its life, and then tell it that it can ... view

• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to ask that this Ministerial Statement be deferred because of what hon. Members are saying – that the boundary issue is part of the cause of insecurity in that area. So, if we have the Assistant Minister not responding to the issue that is causing the conflict, it means that he is not well versed in what the problem of insecurity in that area is. So, my request is that this matter should be deferred to give the Assistant Minister time to get more information and consult with the other Minister. view
