• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mbagathi Way is a very important road in this city. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is satisfied with the way the drainage system is being done. It looks as if the contractor is not competent to do that work. Could he confirm to this House that they are getting value for money? view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that in August, 1991, a teacher, Mr. Gibson 888 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2007 Gathuthu Karuru, TSC No.134182, was ordered by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to report to the District Education Officer (DEO), Nakuru, in October that year for posting, but the DEO did not comply with that order; (b) why the Commission did not act on that matter despite Mr. Gathuthu's several visits to their headquarters; and, (c) what is the fate of the said teacher and when his dues will be paid. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! I wish to apologise to the House. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way the Minister has answered this Question is very sad. We are talking of the plight of a teacher who, because of tribal clashes, was forced to flee from his place of work and was suspended by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). However, after those two months, he went and appealed. They accepted that they would change his station of work. Mr. Gathuthu was told to report to the District Education Officer (DEO) for posting. The Minister is saying that he did not report to the DEO. For the last 16 years, Mr. Gathuthu has ... view

• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you have noticed, the Minister has not - maybe, it is because he is not the Minister for Education - answered any of the questions that have been asked. I do not know why we should be asking Questions if the Ministers are not serious. I have asked if he could produce a letter of posting. He then said that it is the teacher who is supposed to do it. Is it the teacher or the Ministry who is supposed to write that letter? Mr. Waithaka has asked him to produce, at least, a letter ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we ask Questions here is to ensure April 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 891 that issues are addressed. So, if the Minister says that it is the teacher who should produce the letter of dismissal and yet it should come from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), it is for the Chair to give guidance so that we can resolve this matter. Could the Minister bring the file here so that we determine whether this teacher was dismissed or not? Otherwise, we shall just be asking Questions for no reason. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the water hyacinth has been a great problem in Lake 786 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 19, 2007 Victoria. The project involving the beetles has been there for a very long time. If you overfly Lake Victoria, you will see that the water hyacinth is actually increasing. In fact, we do not know whether it was the beetles which have been eating the water hyacinth, or whether it is the other way round. Could the Ministry consider physically removing the water hyacinth from Lake Victoria? It seems that this project has already failed. Why can the Government not ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious issue, considering that the safeguard measures will come to an end in 2008. You have heard what the Minister said about the future plans that they have. I would want to know whether our factories will be able to produce 738 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 18, 2007 sugar competitively and survive when we open our market to competition in 2008. The Minister has talked about future plans, but we have less than one year before the safeguard measures period comes to an end. What is he doing? Are we sure that our ... view
