• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: As I have said, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think DEBs will allow such a thing as a school charging fees to the tune of Kshs50,000. Even Kshs30,000 is a little on the higher side for public schools. We, however, have no control over private schools view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, every student will benefit, so long as we are given the information. It does not matter whether they are registered today. Let us just have the information and they will get the money. view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Shakeel to move from where the Chair is straight to where he is sitting without bowing to the Chair? view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Motion that has been presented by the Minister for Finance. We need to support the Minister because today, many Government departments especially in the districts, are having problems to operate due to lack of money. I remember recently, I had to get out some money from our CDF kitty to help repair a vehicle of one of our DOs in my constituency. They do not have enough money at the moment. I know that the country has had a lot of problems since last year's elections. We are ... view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity you have given me to support the Motion. To me, it is a great one because it will help in facilitating the operations of the CDF. Without the Board of Management, a lot of things will get stuck. So many things will not be done, because everything starts from the top, moving downwards to the constituencies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as many hon. Members have said, the CDF is a great development for this country. For people in some parts of the country, the CDF is the only opportunity through which ... view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Minister, you are talking too much! I want you to listen to some of these things! We want the Minister to bring the amendment here. We want to increase the percentage from 2.5 to, at least, 7 per cent. view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Another thing is that, the percentage that is indicated in the Act does not mean that, that is the highest he can give. You can still go a little above that. So, in the next financial year, it is my request that instead of making it 2.5 per cent, he should go slightly above that. He can go to even 10 per cent! That is because 2.5 per is very low. So, he should consider that because, even in his constituency, that is the only Government fund that his constituents are happy about. That is why they elected him. I ... view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was not here when you people were contributing. Mr. Deputy Speaker had not seen me. He has just seen me now! So, let me finish my contribution! So, it is my suggestion that when the Minister brings other amendments here, let him include something, just little, for the members of the locational committees. That will be an incentive to them for helping in doing a good job. Otherwise, since I hear that a lot has been said, let me stop at this point. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support the Motion. These two Reports that are on the Floor today are actually more than five years old and they are here for us to discuss. I am wondering what purpose they are serving because if at all there were problems reported in these Reports, some of the people who committed these crimes are out of the service. They have retired. 576 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 22, 2008 There is very little we can do to them today. So, the PAC Reports should be brought here in good ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. It is a very important Motion in this century for this country. Plastics are some products of science which are very useful to us. However, on the other hand, they are very dangerous. If not properly disposed of, they can cause serious problems for us just like glasses and metals. That is another dangerous product which if not properly disposed of, is another problem for the environment. All these are products of science which we are taking advantage of. Unfortunately, in this country, we are ... view
