13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your generosity and magnanimity. I want to thank the Minister for bringing this piece of legislation. I want to particularly thank the Minister for promising to fix a bridge on one of the roads from Rongo Township to Kisii. That specific road is called Nyarach-Oboke-Rangwe Road. In December, the bridge was washed away and the people cannot visit one another. That curtails the right of movement of those people. The Minister, who is a very good friend of that part of the world, has committed himself to assist us, and may God ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that very good answer in so far as Awendo-Marindi Youth Polytechnic is concerned. Since the Ministry reckons that Nyasoni Youth Polytechnic is not captured in this financial year, when is the Ministry planning to operationalise Nyasoni Youth Polytechnic, so that the more than 50,000 youth, who need training can benefit from this?

29 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the Government's statistics, we have about 72 per cent of the population below the age of 35 years. So, talking of one youth polytechnic per constituency is actually tokenism. Could the Minister, together with the Ministry of Finance, take this youth crisis seriously and promise Nyasoni Youth Polytechnic that by the next financial year, we will be able to do about four youth polytechnics per constituency? If the Minister's non-commitment is based on financial constraints, then what are we telling the youth of this country? Could the Minister talk about the next financial ...

29 May 2007 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We know very well that the numbers that have been given to NARC to nominate five people constitute membership that is on this side of the House. If you hear Dr. Kituyi argue that hon. Members of this side of the House, particularly, myself and other hon. Members have been de-whipped--- Is it in order for him to use the numbers of hon. Members who are on this side of the House but when convening a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting for membership of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) to ...

29 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, there are no minutes for any such meeting. If you look at the rules we passed, under the definition of a party leader, We, as the May 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1685 NARC party, we are a very lucky. We have both the Leader of Government Business, who qualifies as a leader of NARC and the registered leader of NARC who is Mrs. Charity Ngilu. That very morning when the purported PG meeting took place, I had the honour of trying to enter the Old Chambers to consult with ...

29 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I am making is that when we went to the Old Chambers to consult, we were informed by the Clerks Department that the only meeting intended for the Old Chambers was that of the National Aids Control Council together with hon. Members of Parliament. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was no PG meeting. As a member of this House, I am aggrieved. I have a right to make known the person---
