• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you will permit my language, this is a prompted amendment in the sense that some of our colleagues who are surveyors got the opinion that there were many times when engineering services tend to misuse the word “survey”. Personally, I agree with the Minister that the word “survey” cannot be a protected word. It ought to be generic. We do all sorts of surveys. We do poverty surveys, economic surveys, et cetera .

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take as little time as possible. Allow me to start first by thanking my good friend, the very learned hon. Member for Emuhaya, Dr. Wilbur Otichilo, for bringing forward this very useful and timely Motion. view

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: So, I support this Motion because we will be able to reach this useful information at our fingertips to be able to make key decisions. I laud my good friend, Dr. Khalwale, for bringing the issue of our heroes who have passed through here. In this year and age, it should be possible, for instance, if I want to know about Jean Marie Seronei. I should be able to just type the name Seronei and it should be possible for me to see both his contribution in text, audio and video. This is the area that we need to go. ... view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I think if we have an interactive information portal for the whole country, it will be one of the ways to try and fight the cancer of illiteracy which has dogged our country for a long time. As I walk around the countryside, I have noted that many problems that we have between Kenyan communities come as a result of misinformation. I remember that there is a day I was talking to one hon. Member and I told him the need for us to be more open minded in the way we ... view
