• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to support this Bill, which, as my colleagues have said, is long overdue. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just looking at the long title of the Bill, which says that it is an Act of Parliament to review and update the law relating to the training, registration and licensing of engineers and the regulation of the practice of engineers. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Sorry, I was told it is the preamble or the long title. If you look at that preamble, you will appreciate that the role that is envisaged here is actually that of a stern gatekeeper and that, to me, is really not what we are looking for. We should now move, so that in addition to gate-keeping, we place bigger emphasis on the development of the practice of engineering. Why do I say so? You will excuse me in this case, because I may be speaking selfishly. It has been said in some quarters, and I agree, that if you ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion by the very highly educated and erudite, Dr. Wilbur Otichilo. I am not sure if I am deserving of the accolades he has poured on me, but with humility, I accept them. In seconding this Motion, it is, probably, an embarrassment to the people of Kenya that up to this point in time our country has no policy and law to promote the development and use of space technology which at the moment is at the core of every advancement in achieving what we can call modern living. A ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the House Broadcasting Committee on the Study Tour of the Irish Parliament between 6th November, 2010 and 13th November, 2010 laid on the Table on Tuesday, 11th October, 2011. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I second this Motion, I want to say that this is not a ploy by the peasants to marginalise the rest. I would like to thank my Committee Chairman, a man I sometimes call the Chair of Chairs, for eloquently moving this Motion. I stand to second the Motion and recommend that this House approves the list as submitted by our Committee. I want to echo the words of my Committee Chairman by saying that we all must truly, as Members of Parliament, appreciate the good work that the CDF has done in just over ... view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support the Motion for Adjournment. As I do so, I want to register my satisfaction, as a Kenyan, with what we have been able to achieve as Members of Parliament but also most importantly, with what our athletes did in the past one week. I think we take some of these things for granted. After we debated the Motion of Adjournment on the athletes, I watched the BBC in the UK where an athlete from the UK had won a silver medal and they showed it for a whole day. It was the ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: More fundamentally as leaders of this country and as we go on recess, let us borrow from our athletes. When the likes of Edna Kiplagat and Kemboi were winning gold medals, nobody cared which part of Kenya they come from. As politicians, let us borrow a leaf from what the athletes did and accept that come next year when we hold elections, only one person can be the President of Kenya and we must accept that whatever the result of the elections, Kenya has to remain as one unit. Let us borrow from our athletes and let us do politics ... view
