6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, let me recognize the good work that it has done so far, led by Mr. Kibunjia. We have noted recently that the Commission has been addressing national interest, desires and concerns of Kenyans. That Commission has, to some extent, even given warnings on lack of harmonization in public and private sectors concerning the employment imbalance in Government offices. That is an area that the Executive and private sector must try to address. That is because if ills are pointed out by a very credible organization like that one ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the political Parties Act, it has taken long to appoint a substantive Registrar of Political Parties. However, the current Acting Registrar has given good service. But it is important that His Excellency the President, in consultation with the Prime Minister, should appoint the Registrar and Assistant Registrar so that the entire Political Parties Act is implemented to the letter.

6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, concerning the vetting of judges and magistrates, the panel led by Sharad Rao has done a commendable job. It is important that they are given more time - probably one year - to complete the remaining process in order to clean the judiciary system. We have seen the good work that has been done by weeding out the bad eggs in the Judiciary. That way, the lost confidence will be reclaimed and gained and the pending number of cases in our Judiciary will be addressed. We have seen some people who have filed cases dying ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief on this Motion. Let me start by thanking the Mover of this Motion, hon. Pesa, for heeding the cry of teachers. This Motion is very critical, aware that the retired teachers have rendered invaluable service to this country. They have already used their energies and contributed immensely in shaping the development of this country. After that, the teachers have been unfairly treated by the Government. They have been denied their justice and this should not have been the case. Teachers in this country have made a big mark ...

6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, retired teachers are at an advanced age. They need care. They need to educate their children. They also need to keep their families fit and enjoy life. The teachers are languishing in poverty. They are stressed and depressed. Therefore, it is important that the current consultations between the Office of the Controller of Budget and the Attorney General be concluded immediately so that the Kshs3.4 billion is immediately released to the teachers. Even the remaining Kshs14.2 billion, the Government must borrow, if the Treasury does not have money. That money must be borrowed and released ...

6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. Let me start by thanking the Mover of this Motion, Mr. Midiwo, for bringing a Motion that is very timely, and which addresses the high casualty rates that we have on our roads. The boda boda sector in this country must be regulated. Although it creates employment for the youth of this country, they must wear the necessary equipment required on the road. The other critical issue is that there must be adequate road discipline in the entire country. Kenyans have lost lives. Innocent lives have been lost and ...
