• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: It comes out clearly that some of the persons who sit on school BOGs are appointees of politicians. So, execution of the education management mandate is interfered with. It is, therefore, important that we, politicians, desist from this practice. We should create a good distance between ourselves and institutions of learning. It, therefore, goes without saying that, when we have incompetent Board of Governors (BOGs) which are not able to deliver the required services--- They have, at times, caused the strikes that we have experienced in some of our schools. Incompetent BOGs will not be able to provide physical facilities ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Maybe, by way of concluding, I would like to remind all the stakeholders in the education sector, particularly the churches, to play their central role in instilling or providing the pastoral care in our schools. Once again, they should introduce chaplains in our schools. That is because it is felt that spiritual growth is lacking in our students. It is, therefore, important that they take their responsibilities very seriously. view

• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to ask a small question to the Assistant Minister. He has indicated properly that Naivasha Constituency enjoys 13 vehicles and one unserviceable vehicle. What criteria was used?

• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Firstly, I wish to remember the people who came to assist us in this unprecedented crisis. I wish to particularly remember Dr. Kofi Annan, the President of Uganda, Mr. Yoweri Museveni, President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, President John Kufuor of Ghana, and others.

• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to mention in particular the role played by the Prime Minister, and that played by the President of this nation, Mr. Mwai Kibaki. We should also not underate the important role played by the Serena Team. As we continue to look into this document, we need to address the issue of violence very critically. I recall that in the period between the years 1952-1958, the people of this nation fought the colonial regime, which was a just and right cause. Why did our people, in 2007, turn against one another? view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: This is an issue we need to address, so that the future and peace of this nation will be guaranteed. This violence seriously affected our people in the whole country. Unnecessary sufferings were experienced on this land. Some of the sufferings and atrocities that were noted in this nation would have been prevented if the security organs of our Government were awake and active. Officers in the Police Kenya were partial. They were not ready to respond to those areas which were potential with threat. Therefore, the issue of the Police Force must be addressed critically. The Police Force must ... view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We note from this Report that the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) made very strong recommendations, giving insights on what was likely to happen. Why were the recommendations of the NSIS not followed? Why was the Executive not responsive to the view
