  • 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I sought your indulgence, hon. Deputy Speaker. This Statement was prepared a month ago. It has been pending but there is a new thing that has come up. view
  • 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I stand guided, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
  • 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. I concur with what the Chair presented before this House, but the problem is implementation of the regulations. What came out clearly is that the circulars are on the shelves, but implementation is not taking place. We also want to take cognizance of the fact that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) are like parallel powers. The teachers are under TSC and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is not ... view
  • 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Leader of Majority Party has informed us about the processes and the stages at which the matter has reached. What plans has the Government put in place to fast-track the appointment of commissioners to the TSC? view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank hon. Lelelit for coming up with this Bill. It is timely and I urge my colleagues to support it. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill seeks to devolve further, that is to the constituency, the money allocated to the Equalization Fund. Equalization implies that those who are behind should be pulled up to be at the same level with those who are already ahead. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Northern Kenya, or the ASAL areas of this country, which have the largest land mass of the country are highly marginalized. Unless we use affirmative action they will not be at par with the rest of Kenya; we will not talk about development unless we pull the ones who are behind to be at the same level with those who are already ahead. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at Independence, the founding fathers of this nation talked about the enemies of our people. They named lack of education, health facilities, water and roads as the challenges we faced at that time. Northern Kenya is still having the same problem. There has not been much change in terms of development in those vital areas for the last 50 years. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Mandera South Constituency, which I represent is one of the most marginalized areas of this country. It gets the highest allocation of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). If we go the way we are suggesting, we may be better off in the 20 years that are targeted for this Equalization Fund, and if it is devolved to the constituency level. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I therefore, strongly support this Bill. So that it is fast-tracked, we request all the Members of the parties from the CORD Coalition and Jubilee side to support it. We cannot talk of supporting those who are behind in development unless we say and do it; this is the time when Members of the National Assembly, who do not come from the regions which are behind, should support us. My request to hon. Members is to be with those of us who come from marginalized areas, so that this Bill is passed. view
