• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand up to join my colleagues in supporting the appointment of Gumato who I personally know as a very competent person – a mother and a social activist and who participates very much in the development of a very difficult area in North Horr. I think her joining the Commission will go a long way in not only bringing equality but also bringing a role model to those girls in difficult areas that they also can achieve entry into high commissions like this one.

We would also, therefore, like the counties to participate. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to join my colleagues by saying that this is a very important time to have such an important Bill. I just want to add three points. One, before A-Levels were abolished, we had pre-university/National Youth in-take, but it was not well structured. Although the competencies of the people who trained those students were not well thought out, the idea of having a pre-university/National Youth Service in-take was an excellent one.

• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the House that we are ready to answer the Question. We were ready on Tuesday but there was that point of order. We are ready even today and we will be ready on Tuesday. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matters of drought, off-take, and funds applied to mitigate the drought are before the said Committee. We had presented our issues. There were more issues for clarification. I think the hon. Member who is also a member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, should have raised his issues at the Committee level. view
