• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank you for directing that. I oblige. I will ask for the Ministerial Statement tomorrow. But while here, the reports coming from the constituency is that the situation between the two constituencies is very volatile. I was asking that the matter is brought to the attention of the Minister. The communities might just go for each other. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, occasionally, we have problems in many estates. Does the Ministry have a mechanism of assessing the problems that it has regarding water issues around all estates? Does the Ministry have a mechanism for informing the residents on what to do during such crisis? view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek clarification on two issues. We know that ordinarily the allocation for CDF in any constituency is not divided equally. What are the factors that are considered in arriving at equal distribution per constituency? Could he also clarify whether the amount of money allocated has any tie with the normal allocation for CDF such that if any constituency the whole amount of the normal allocation then they cannot receive this amount? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. In seconding, I do not want to belabour the importance of education not just in this nation but in the whole world. At the start, I just want to remind myself that at one time when I was at the University of Nairobi, we were only 22 students in class.

Having looked at the growth of the students who were aspiring to join universities countrywide, I cannot fail to support this Motion. I am persuaded ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: If you look at the poverty index in Kenya that we are just discussing about and the cost of living, you will find that it has become very heavy on most of Kenyans. Eighty per cent of Kenyans are actually living from hand to mouth. However, when it comes to admission of students in universities, you find that the scenario is the opposite. This is because most of t hem are required to pay much more than those ones who are under the regular programme. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to believe that we require expansion of facilities in the universities, but also implore on the Government to explore the option of e-learning. I was doing a course and in e-learning, I did not have to go and sit in a lecture theatre.

After that, they are able, first, to give marks on ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I have been looking at the requirements, including in the institution of Parliament where I am a Commissioner, and I can see the kind of qualifications required even for small jobs. The minimum qualification is a university degree. How will these students who do not have access to university education even get these small jobs? So, it is important for us, as a nation, to know this nation will not end with our lives, but we have to leave something for posterity. That is the fruits of what we shall have planted for our children and our children’s children, and ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question to the Assistant Minister is; there are arrears which pertain to the nurses employed in Masinga Constituency. Was this the scenario in all the other constituencies, and if so, has that been addressed to date? view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion as amended. view
