• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the ones who get C plus or C plain in their secondary examinations consider to advance their education by doing bridging courses and later on join diploma colleges. For that reason, we have not been able to get young people from North Eastern Province to join teachers training colleges in order for Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to employ them. I believe that we can get students from that province who are able to go to teachers training colleges and become teachers. We had a policy of the Government to establish a teachers training college in Garissa. ... view

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I truly appreciate the contribution of the hon. Member, who is actually a member of the Committee. I think that he has done sufficient justice to the Report in terms of his contribution. Would I be in order to request that you call upon the Mover to respond? That is in the interest of time. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. This Motion is timely and I want to thank my friend, hon.

• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this important Motion. I rise to support the adoption of this Report. This Report, if used properly and in the manner designed by Justice Waki and the Committee that did it, has the potential to recreate this country. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we do not implement this Report to the letter; if we do not take advantage of the spirit provided in this Report, I have a fear that we might lose this country. We almost lost this country and that is why, today, almost every institution that we create has a foreign component. In fact, I think we have, to an extent, lost our sovereignty! The Commission had a foreign component. This Tribunal has a foreign component. Therefore, that tells us that we should be extremely careful on how we continue to manage this country. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: My only worry is the lack of political leadership that is required to drive this process to its logical conclusion, particularly when this Report might contain names of individuals in high places and businessmen and women. If there is no strong political leadership in this country, it might be very difficult to realise the essence of implementing this Report. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Therefore, I want to plead with the President, as the leader of this country - because Kenyans voted for him to lead this country - and together with the Prime Minister now that we have a Coalition Government, to provide the necessary political leadership required in order to ensure that this Report is implemented to the letter. If that is not done then, perhaps, Kenyans must find a way of communicating with the President of the United States of America to also provide the necessary checks, balances and the necessary pressure that will be required to push the political class ... view
