• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to draw specific attention of hon. Members to the schedules, particularly the one on disciplinary offences. You will recall that in the retiring law, there used to be an appeals tribunal. I want hon. Members to look at this very carefully, bearing in mind that the power given to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to discipline teachers in Article 237 should not be taken at face value. The rules of natural justice apply equally to quasi-judicial as well as judicial bodies. Therefore, the disciplinary process must also respect the human rights of our ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by stating without fear that education is the path to lasting reforms for Kenya. Quality education will produce citizens and leaders who do not have to be persuaded about the Bill of Rights in our Constitution; or leaders and citizens who do not have to be persuaded that Chapter Six of the Constitution or any other dream that Kenyans had in enacting the new Constitution is a reality. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, education is the only pathway to real and permanent elimination of corruption; permanent elimination of negative ethnicity; it is the only trusted pathway for the elimination of hate speech and other undesirable practices, including drug trafficking, not to mention terrorism. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill will facilitate tremendous improvement in education, for without teachers and teachers who enjoy and love their profession; teachers who feel that they are appreciated by their country, there is no education worth talking about. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and I am very happy and lucky to have nobody less than a full professor, hon. Professor Anyang’-Nyong’o, to second this Bill. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for recognising me. This is a Motion from the Prime Minister’s docket but I recognise the fact that there is a Grand Coalition Government in which I also serve. Hon. (Prof.) Olweny is also a Minister, for purposes of business in this House. As far as I am concerned, if he speaks, it should be noted that he is a Government Minister speaking on the Motion, and that can be taken as the official Government response. I have no problem with that. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with due respect, this is a storm in a tea cup because this debate has just started, and it has been pointed out that when the time for a response comes and it happens that there is nobody from the Office of the Prime Minister, there will be a response. That is how I understand debate. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Yes, I am very well aware that Ms. Alice Wambui Kabugi, a teacher who retired on 1st September, 2008 has been following up on her benefits since June 2007 without any success. (b)My Ministry forwarded Madam Kabugi’s personal file, TSC No.73615, to the Treasury, specifically to the Director of Pensions on 4th March, 2010 for payment of the benefits. Allow me, before I conclude, to apologize to the hon. Member because I was only able to give this information to him early this morning but I have given him a copy of the ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I am not satisfied because I am well aware of the rights of these citizens but this information and the Question came only recently and I have not had an opportunity to check with the Pensions Department in the Treasury to find out the cause of this delay. If the hon. Member prefers, I am prepared to ask for a little more time so that I can discuss with the Pensions Department of the Treasury the reason why a file forwarded on 4th March, 2010 - it was not the only one but with several others ... view
