• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the intention here is captured, but you can see that they have enumerated several places where smoking should not take place. This is not exhaustive. The proposal by Mr. Kajwang improves it. But then, when the Assistant Minister says in the last part of the amendment "---except in designated smoking places", in this Bill, there is no clause which is enjoining any person to designate a place as a smoking place. In other words, we may have a situation where smoking is banned in all these areas, but nobody is forced to designate a smoking area. So, ... view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, now that the further amendment was intended to August 9, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3129 improve Mr. Kajwang's amendment and it is not there, so, it cannot improve what is not there. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that the Ministry has issued instructions to the effect that the ongoing recruitment of primary school teachers should not give preference to applicants residing in the respective districts? (b) What is the role of the District Education Boards (DEBs) in the ongoing exercise? view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the recruitment of primary school teachers by the DEBs is an exercise that was done last year, the year before last year and the other year. Are there new rules that are different from the rules that applied last year, the year before last year and the year 2003? Are the rules the same as those in the recruitment exercised held in the past? view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know very well that recruitment is being done all over the country, and every person resides only in one district. The gist of the Question is that we want to have an assurance that DEBs, and the hon. Members who sit in DEBs, are not just going to sit there and rubber-stamp names that come from areas that they do not approve. Every applicant has an entitlement and a place from which to apply for the job. I wanted to get an assurance from the Assistant Minister that the DEBs have the absolute power to ... view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister on the passage of this Bill. I also want to congratulate hon. Members of this House for the bi-partisan approach they have given to this Bill. I want to appeal to the media to lift the standards of journalism in this country, so that the quality of reportage of news can improve. I also want to encourage the media to be responsible and less injurious to members of the public and institutions in this country. I beg to support. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that a bridge along Nyarach-Oboke Rangwe Road (D13) has been washed away by heavy rains; and, (b) what he is doing to re-construct the bridge. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. You notice from the answer that this "injury" was occasioned on 3rd February, 2007. Could the Assistant Minister tell us, exactly, when the repair or reconstruction of the bridge will commence so that my people, who are good Kenyans, can also celebrate? view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Rongo Constituency was formerly lumped together with Rangwe Constituency. Rangwe is a major market. This is the only road that links Rongo to Rangwe market. Pupils can also not go to schools on either side of River Nyarach. Pupils cannot go to Nyaboro Primary School. Since the Assistant Minister knows the procedure, and assuming that they get money next week, could he inform the House when the actual construction work will start and be completed? We all know February was quite a while ago. These people cannot live in anxiety forever. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion for bringing a Motion that is going to grant leave to him to bring a Bill to this House, to abolish capital punishment. In this country, capital punishment is permissible for three sets of offences. They are: Treason, murder and robbery with violence. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, everybody knows that everyday, one person or many people get murdered. Murder has become a very prevalent offence. Likewise, robbery with violence is occurring by the ... view
