• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that we do not need particularly to collect this Excise Duty here to get the money the Minister needs to finance Government expenditure. I would like to call to the Minister's attention, an article in the DailyNation today by Jaindi Kisero, which I think will answer most of the questions the Minister was concerned about. If he really wants to raise money for the long term development of infrastructure in this country, then he had better read the article by Jaindi Kisero. You are much better off raising money through long-term bonds, ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the spirit of this Motion should be understood by the Government; that we should move towards making kerosene much cheaper and LPG cheaper than kerosene so that we do not use our forests for fuel. The forest cover in this country is less than 1 per cent. This is a crisis of monumental proportions. My former Minister for Water and Irrigations says that it is 1.7 per cent. In fact, I think she was better off in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. She is being wasted now. She was doing a good job for ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ask the Minister one question. In his presentation, particularly about the drought, I did not hear him talk about the opening of abattoirs in the ASAL areas. This is something very central in dealing with the livestock industry in areas faced with drought. What is the Government doing about the opening of abattoirs in the ASAL areas to facilitate the de-stocking system that he is talking about? view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support the Sexual Offences Bill. I would also like to thank hon. Members who are lawyers. They spoke very informatively on this Bill on Thursday afternoon. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Kembi-Gitura, Mr. Kajwang, Mr. Muturi and Mr. Wetangula. As one who is a layman in law, I learnt a lot about this Bill. I learnt a lot about the necessity to improve it. One hon. Member said that we can make better ideas to add value to good ideas. ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in rape cases, and I am sure my lawyer colleagues will testify to this, the kind of evidence given to court by those who defend rape offenders, is quite astounding. I have read the East African Law Reports on these cases and it is pathetic. It shows that either they know that there is no good law that will defend rape victims and defend their rights or they know 826 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2006 that there is no institution in our nation that is given the responsibility of educating law enforcement agencies as far as ... view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. Given the debilitating shortage of teachers in Nyanza, could the Minister explain why Mr. Amos Pande, former headmaster of Majiwa Secondary School in Bondo District, continues to be interdicted for an alleged misappropriation of school funds after he has clearly shown that the allegation was due to errors of omission in the cash book entries. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, you will notice that the audit inspection was done in September, 2004. We are now in April, 2006. All this time, the former headmaster has provided the Board of Governors (BOG) with all the information that is necessary to clarify those two issues. Why has the TSC and the Ministry not taken the advice of the BOG and reinstated the former headmaster? The local community needs the service of the former headmaster, who to my knowledge, has cleared himself. view
