• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether it is fair for Members to always be lamenting on receiving written answers in this House. Many times, as the Back Bench, we have raised this concern. The Ministers are supposed to provide written answers to the Questioners in good time, so that the Members do not feel ambushed. Could you give direction to the Leader of Government Business that this should not be a habit? view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support this Motion, I would like to remind Kenyans that it will not be lost. Many a times, when hon. Members filed Questions regarding IDPs, the Executive arm of the Government and especially the Ministry concerned, would put doubt as to whether IDPs exist in this country. They would contest assertions by hon. Members and real situations at times. So to say, this Committee, if not for anything else, can be lauded for giving a second opinion to Kenyans. Many a times, when we insist that, that situation should be resolved once and ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to be very brief for the benefit of the many hon. Members who want to contribute. I want to put it on record that we are not merely playing politics here. I want to remind the Minister for Education that education is neither a classroom nor a very beautiful school that is painted black, white, red and brown with other accolades. For our kids to get education, they must have teachers to teach them. I am a Member of Parliament today courtesy of teachers. From Class I to Class V, I ... view

• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since this is a matter that entails the lives of Kenyans who are serving in the military and the Assistant Minister seems to be non-committal; just giving an open statement that: “We are investigating”, would I be in order to request that you guide the Assistant Minister to give us a tentative date on which they expect to complete these investigations so that at least the families and relatives of these Kenyan soldiers can be assured that the Government would give a report within a certain time limit? view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware that youth selling water and other refreshments at the Garissa/Mororo Bridge are habitually harassed by police officers manning the bridge; and, (b) what measures he will take to ensure the youth are not harassed considering that they are engaging in a lawful business. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Assistant Minister understands the word “installation”. Initially, when the Government set up the bridge, it was not a military or security installation. It was for use by people to be able to cross the River Tana by foot or in vehicles. More importantly, the youth we are talking about hawk refreshments for the benefit of travellers, who are supposed to undertake long journeys to Nairobi. The hawking is not done on the bride but rather at the two ends of the bridge, when buses and other vehicles stop. So, could ... view
