• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It seems to me that Mr. Mwaita is moving an amendment. Is that the right way to do it since I am a little lost? Could I get clarification over this matter? view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. My point of order is in connection with the time. You told us that the time to contribute is over. I thought the Motion was supposed to be debated for two hours? view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have expressed my feelings to the Mover that this Committee needs to amended as some of my colleagues talked about. There are unemployed youths of this country who have been misused by politicians. It is my wish that politicians who use youths to campaign for them and protect their communities because they feel insecure, should be exposed. This Committee should help us to expose these people. Madama Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had groups of thugs in this country. Sometimes back we had groups like Angola Msumbiji . There are several organised thugs in these ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, according to the Ministry of Lands, there is no district called Nyando. That is a serious omission of my district from the map of the Ministry of Lands, yet Nyando District--- If you look at Nyanza Province today, my district has the highest number of squatters. We have almost 10,000 squatters in my constituency, Muhoroni. Some of them have been squatters for well over 40 years. They have no land! When you talk of the people who suffered from the ethnic clashes of the 1990s, it was people in my constituency. The people who are landless ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let him read the Ndung'u Report, which was displayed in this House when he was a Member of Parliament. 1980 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 22, 2008 view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ndung'u Report was displayed here. He has a copy. He knows the names of the people mentioned in the Ndung'u Report. So, I do not need to substantiate the obvious, which the hon. Member already knows. Early this year, we had a serious problem after the general elections. Some of the causes of those problems are related to land issues. The land problems in this country have made people to shed blood. It is something which we should not deny. Go back to the colonial days. The Mau Mau uprising was connected to the ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion. The Government is seriously focused on engaging the youth in socio-economic activities in our societies. It has set aside Kshs465 million for training the youths through the youth polytechnics. The money is not sufficient given the amount of work that we expect this Ministry to do but the problem is that we have limited resources. I would like to have, at least, one youth polytechnic per location. This is because we have many youths in this country who are actually idle. Majority of them already have basic ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Kiptororo Secondary School in Molo District has not been provisionally registered by the Ministry. (b) The Ministry will effect provisional registration of the school upon receipt of the District Education Board's (DEB) approval and submission of all documents required for registration. Consequently, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will post teachers to the school based on curriculum-based establishment. view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the registration of this school was delayed. However, the delay was not because of the Ministry's problem. The problem was with the school itself. They had made incomplete application and those documents for the application were not forwarded to the DEB in the previous year. Right now, of all those documents, that are needed for the registration of the school, will be tabled in the DEB of Molo District, which is a new DEB. It will be inaugurated on 21st July, 2008. That day, those documents will be presented and then forwarded to ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by the hon. Member is slightly different from the one we are dealing with. In this particular case, the school did not indicate the sponsor. The local authority did not give its approval on the application form. The local authority should have certified that there is no question over the land on which the school is built. All these papers had not been presented to the District Education Officer (DEO). That means that the Ministry was not aware of the existence of the school. Not a single document had been presented to the Ministry. ... view
