• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should look at the bigger picture as to why we want to give laptop computers to school children. Let us find a solution rather than kill the idea because I believe that this House has committees which can bring better ideas. With those remarks, I beg to support. view

• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to support this Motion. First, I want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for leading us during this historical time when we will be putting in a lot of---As the Budget and Appropriations Committee and as a Parliament, our House has been given the priority to re-allocate funds. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when the budget proposals came to this House, you know very well that you could only change the budget by 10 cents; something which was really ridiculous. But now as a House - that is why we are sure that we are a very important House - we can re-allocate revenue according to the priority of Kenyans. Therefore, I want to congratulate the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and its members. But as I do that, let me say that I see a lot of bias towards allocation of funds that ignore the important county of ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Appropriations Committee does raise it as one of the priority areas that it wishes that the National Treasury would have re-looked at. I also want to talk about the allocation of money that has been given to the Kenya Data Networks on the expansion of the Fibre Optic Cables. It really does not matter how much you expand it. If we do not give money to counties, especially those that are urban, to set up call centres so that our young people can get work, we will not achieve much. The Fibre Optic Cables make our internet provide service faster ... view

• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for the answer. However, I want to say from the outset that I was categorical in my question. I asked about universities and other colleges because this is a vice that also exists in some of our colleges in urban areas, especially Nairobi. Universities in this country admit parallel students. They receive hundreds of millions of shillings. The reason many young girls would turn to prostitution, even after having performed very well and admitted to the universities, is that the universities no longer offer loans and the ... view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, my clarification is really on the statement because I am now getting a bit confused whether the statement that was sought by our colleague, hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, was specifically to ask that the Government considers that the former Prime Minister accesses the VIP Lounge III that is reserved for deputy presidents and former Heads of State, so that we do not debate on the premise of generalities. From what I am hearing, it seems that there is a specific request that he accesses the VIP Lounge III. Is that the clarification that hon. (Eng.) Gumbo was seeking, ... view

Following information from the area District Officer (DO), the Chief, Assistant Chief and other security officers it was established that there were hotspots in Dandora where boys aged 14 years to 17 years, and calling themselves “Jeshi,” drag and rape girls inside empty or unfinished ... view
