• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Vote. view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister clarify why the Ministry is hesitant to respond to the plight of the people of this nation? I recall when we had a crisis in our schools and the students spoke against the quota system. All the stakeholders came forward and resisted the whole thing. Even the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology recommended that a review must be made on this one. Why is the Ministry unwilling to hear the grievances of the Kenyan people? If the situation continues, we are likely to have a recurrence of the problem. view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. First, I wish to thank the Minister, the Assistant Ministers and the Permanent Secretary who have executed their mandate in the interest of our people in this country. Time and again, we have noted the Permanent Secretary articulating issues. The manner that he has presented his views has been appreciable and that spirit must be maintained. view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Regarding the film industry, the Ministry should give more funds to that sector because it is a sector that could create many employment opportunities for our people. We have very active youth in this nation who are very idle. We can also produce very good actors, almost equal to those who are performing in Hollywood. But nothing has been done since Independence to pay more attention to this sector. I urge the Ministry to release more funds and make sure that the youth of this nation are engaged in that venture. view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, concerning the performance of KBC, we are a bit apprehensive. For quite sometime, we have seen an exodus of presenters moving from KBC to other media houses. What is really happening? We need to rediscover that we are not giving funds and more attention to our presenters and the other staff at KBC. Our people must be retrained so that we can control that exodus. One way of controlling them and giving the necessary motivation is to review their salaries. Why can we not review their salaries like it has been done by the Kenya ... view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: We should also thank the Ministry for being the first one to broadcast live the proceedings of Parliament. They have taken the right direction and we support them in that regard. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, time and again, Members have talked about the quality of the work being carried out on our roads. The Assistant Minister has admitted that the contractors did a shoddy job on that road. What measures will he take against those contractors? view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Firstly, I wish to thank the Minister for Medical Services for ably presenting his estimates to this House. We note that the entire Ministry was very much under-funded to the tune of about Kshs13 billion. This amount, if it was allocated, would have gone a long way in improving the health care of our people. To indicate one area that would have benefited tremendously is the KNH. The KNH is the biggest hospital in Eastern Africa and we recognize the best brains and the ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to air my observations on this very important Motion. First, let me thank the Minister for ably presenting her Ministerial estimates. Before I proceed, I would like to thank the Minister for her personal intervention when our nation was faced with H1N1 flu virus threat. She personally addressed the nation on the issue. That really gave the Kenyan people some kind of hope in the fight against that threat. I would also recommend that the nation should be updated not only on that threat but also on other ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Regarding the establishment of the health facilities in every constituency, this is a very welcome move. I would urge from the outset that contractors and quantity surveyors should be involved so that the facilities that we are going to develop will be for now and the future. It is, therefore, important that this Budget should be given a faster speedier approval so that the money could also come to our constituencies. We remember in certain areas, we have been able to identify land for the construction of these facilities. Therefore, the sooner we have the money, the better. view
