29 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member wishes to delete any other name from this list, he is free to bring another amendment. The point I am making is that as an hon. Member of this House and a loving member of the ruling party, I am entitled to participate in the proceedings of nominating members of the ruling party to the EALA. I was denied this opportunity. I feel muzzled by the list that has been brought here---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that four teachers at Kanyimach Primary School in Rongo District were interdicted last week?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the school has 11 streams and now has seven teachers. This means that if the teachers were to teach from Monday to Friday, there will always be two classes of pupils plain. When will the good Ministry ensure that these children are taught as provided for by the free and compulsory education that is under the Children's Act?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can hear how unsatisfactory that answer is. The Ministry of Education is actually responsible for the wellbeing of pupils in schools. If they are sexually molested or assaulted by agents of the Ministry who are teachers is it in order for the hon. Assistant Minister who was a lady and is still a lady to condone this kind of behaviour by saying that they can only interdict teachers who have molested girls when we have the law to address this issue and she has the power?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Gogo Falls where electricity is generated belongs to KenGen. We are aware that there is corporate social responsibility and local people in areas like the Turkwell Gorge and Kindaruma have benefited immensely from corporate social responsibility. What corporate social responsibility does KenGen have in mind for the Gogo area and the Kuja Basin, both in Uriri and Rongo constituencies?

23 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that amendments be allowed to delete Rule 8(3) because of the following reasons. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reasons are very similar to those advanced by Mr. Muite. Every hon. Member of this House would desire to have an opportunity to approve or disapprove of any name suggested by any political party. If we delete sub-rule (3), we will be left with an opportunity to augment these rules using the Standing Orders. The Standing Orders will entitle hon. Members to treat the list that will be brought to this House as any other Motion. It will ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that anxiety has gripped South Nyanza Sugar Company Limited over the impending June, 2007, lay-off of all casual workers and some permanent employees? (b) In view of run-away unemployment and poverty levels in the area, could the Minister direct that the intended lay-off be put off? (c) What plans does the Minister have to ensure that the original objective of SONY Sugar Company limited, namely to provide employment and create wealth, is maintained?

22 May 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only way people who gave away their land for this factory to be put up can get employment is through being hired as casual workers or permanent workers. Part "a" of the Question says that there is a plan to lay off all the casual workers. Could the Assistant Minister unequivocally confirm whether in the budget of the company, which will be there in June, all casual workers will be laid off?
