14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very good Motion. I must declare from the on-set that there has been an intention to create Rongo District, a fact that many people from that part of the world support. It is also a fact that has generated animosity among the clans in terms of where the headquarters should be located. Districts, in the past and in the future, will remain areas of planning, development and fostering unity among their residents. I support and applaud the Mover of this Motion. The creation June ...

8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the reasons given for the migration of Kenyan students to Uganda is that there is a high cut-off points to join Kenyan universities. Is the Assistant Minister satisfied that compelling Kenyan students to get grade B-Plus and above is reasonable, because it allows only a fraction that is less than 10 per cent to go to the next level of learning?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had problems with the Attorney- General over another Question that was deferred relating to the referendum and the lawyers involved.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is true! This is the second time the May 4, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 945 Question is being deferred at the behest of the Attorney-General. Would I be in order to ask you to compel him to answer it next time and not look for excuses?

4 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the position that has been presented by the official rejoinder from the Official Opposition. Hon. Members of this House have been lambasted for earning too much and doing too little. If we officially agree to appear to be doing too little and earning too much, that will not be good for Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that there are several important Bills. They include the Sexual Offences Bill that needs the keen attention of this House. This House requires time to debate very serious Motions and Bills in order ...

3 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to May 3, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 863 contribute to this wonderful Motion. I want to thank Mr. Ojode for being mindful of the spiral- effect of the high cost of fuel in this country. Fuel cost is one of the reasons why we are losing a lot of foreign exchange. When I was the Minister for Energy, we had statistics to the effect that, we spent nearly Kshs40 billion importing petroleum products. At that time, and even now, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was gaining currency as an item that ...
