• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to support the deletion as proposed by the President. You know we must have a disciplined democracy. We should not have a situation where you move from one party to another, stay there for a few seconds and then jump onto another one. At the end of the day, you will find that a Member of Parliament has moved to three parties. Even leaders of parties have moved to other parties – three of them – in less than a month. What kind of democracy is this? We are not going to use parties ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to congratulate the Members of the Joint Committee, who pointed out some of these things. I do not know whether they are computer errors or mistakes like the ones we had the other year. I would like to tell our officers at the Treasury that it is high time they put us in a position to trust them. They are technocrats. They know what they are supposed be doing there. We just cannot have all these errors. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, they may be whatever they are but can you imagine the amount of money that we have put here in the form of amendments? It is Kshs200 billion. Thank you. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also beg to support. It is well known that we have two major businesses to deal with in this House; the Public Financial Management Bill and the President’s Memorandum that he has brought back to us. It is also known that we have really done a lot of work and some of us need a break so that we are back with our constituents to start our campaigns early. So, I support the Motion. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to support the amendment. This reflects the transparency that we are introducing in the reforms. So, competitive recruitment is part of the reforms that we are introducing. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have Papers here to lay on the Table. But before I do that, I beg to give my apologies to the Chair and the House for what transpired last week on Wednesday, during the morning Sitting. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question by hon. Muoki was already handled, but I want to table the letter that we have written to the Permanent Secretary, the Ministry of State for Public Service requesting the Ministry to take action and advise my Ministry what is to be done with regard to hardship allowance for teachers in Mwala District and other places which deserve to be categorized as hardship areas. That is the furthest I have gone and there is no response yet. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the policy regarding the hardship allowance is in another Ministry. Some time back, the Minister of State for Public Service, hon. Otieno, handled a similar Question here, namely, on hardship allowance touching on teachers. Until his Ministry gives us a response, there is very little information that I can give to this House. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the harmonization of hardship allowance that was done as per the date the Member is talking about, as far as I know, was put on hold because of the request of the teachers themselves through the KNUT. They wanted the original one to be maintained because the new system was leaving out so many places which were originally categorized as hardship areas. So, they wanted the original system to be maintained. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us be fair to my Ministry. This House has always redirected Questions to other Ministries where they belong. Why can this Question not be redirected to the Ministry where it belongs? view
