• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard how the Assistant Minister has answered that Question. He is very casual! This is the way the Government has been treating the freedom fighters. The Assistant Minister cannot say that he is not aware about the issues raised in the Question. He is a Kenyan and he knows that there is no recognition that has been given to our freedom fighters. There are very many of them, for example, the late Dedan Kimathi, Koitalel arap Samoei, Fred Kubai, Bildad Kaggia and so many others. There is nothing that the Government has done since ... view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way the Assistant Minister is answering this Question is very sad. He is telling us to go back to our districts. This is a national issue. It has nothing to do with the district. We are talking of people who fought for this country. I am happy to hear that the Assistant Minister has undertaken to bring a Sessional Paper. view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other day, I saw some Kenyans in Nandi trying to build a monument for the late Koitalel arap Samoei, yet the Government has done nothing--- 3372 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 2, 2006 view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister consider setting up a committee that will deal with this issue once and for all? view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: I want to know from the Minister which policy is used in the distribution of that money. There are some constituencies that receive up to Kshs20 million. Others, receive almost nothing. We want to know from the Minister why they have allowed dishonest people to handle that money? That is why some constituencies did not receive any money. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened carefully to the Assistant Minister, you will realise that he is engaging in a public relations exercise for the KNEC. On one score he says that there is no leakage, but on the other he is saying that the examination papers were leaked just a few hours before they were sat for and so the effect is not there. However, this information did not come from the Ministry. It is the newspapers that revealed the leakage of examination papers. One of the newspapers stated that they were even able to purchase some of ... view
• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the October 31, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3239 Ministry of Higher Education. We all know that excelling in exams in this country determines who you will be in life. Exams are also an issue of competition. If there are those who are cheating--- view
• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister knows that there is a Minister who is in charge of Education in this country. That is where I am directing my request for a Ministerial Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know cheating in exams kills competition. Could the Minister confirm to this House whether there are students buying examination papers or not? Is it true that there are people taking advantage of the very poor students who cannot buy the examination papers? view

• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that answer is very short. However, there is a company called "Midlands" whose directors have appeared both in the print and electronic media. They have said that the Minister has given them a licence to process pyrethrum products. Could the Minister confirm that his Ministry has no deals with this company? view
