• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: should be issued with IDs and voter registration cards. This will save them the agony of going round looking for voter registration cards. This should be done together. I believe that the Kshs500 million put into that kitty will go a long way in making sure that most people are registered. Another area that I would like to support is the issue of the Senate. I am not very sure, other than bickering a bit and witch-hunting, about the mandate of the Senate. There is no need to reallocate and allocate more money to the Senate when there is a ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Lastly, I would like to talk about the Kshs70 million allocation to the auditing of the social disbursement. That is the money that is being disbursed to the elderly and vulnerable people. It is very important that there is proper auditing of these resources because on the ground, the story is very different. From what we know on the ground and what is happening at the national level, it is important that proper auditing is done. There are many people who died and were buried but they are still receiving the money. There are also people who should be receiving ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also support the Petition by hon. Birdi. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Apart from the fact that the delay on our roads is leading to a lot of corruption, the issue of drivers being over-delayed on our roads has also led to the spread of HIV/AIDS. You realise that most drivers spend almost three or four weeks on the road. According to statistics, drivers keep mistresses at each and every weighbridge station. This has led to the spread of HIV/AIDS. As a result, a lot of families have broken up. Kenyan roads have become a big highway for all the traders across the East and Central African region. Most of the goods ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my comments. First of all, I would like to thank the President for the Speech that he very well articulated, which was written in very good English – English of the Britons. However, I do not think that the Speech was meant for all Kenyans. It belongs to a few Kenyans. It is not a Speech meant for people in western Kenya, Turkana and Baringo counties. The President is the person who is best suited to tackle the problem of corruption once and for all. The issue ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: from the roots? We should solve the problems facing our country. The President is the right person to tackle this problem once and for all. He has the mandate of the people. We are all waiting to see how the President intends to deal with the issues of corruption and food insecurity, among other issues. With those remarks, I beg to support the Presidential Address with reservations, much as I do not have sufficient time to articulate all the issues that I have. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to oppose the Motion. First of all I need to answer the question “how does ranking work?” In my view, ranking is meant for the examination system.The country makes use of examination results for accountability purposes. It is used for evaluating the effectiveness of instruction, for motivating students and teachers to perform well and for reviewing the effectiveness of the schools in providing effective teaching and learning environment. Another way of making ranking work is so that the performance indices which are used to facilitate ranking are able to determine the order of ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: are in are not the same. Most of our schools are in very pathetic conditions. Some schools do not even have classrooms. Teachers are not available while some are working in very hardship conditions. So if you take the schools across and even the facilities that most of our schools have, some schools have everything that it takes, for example, in Nairobi or city schools. You cannot compare such schools with schools in the rural areas. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: So, when it comes to ranking, you just want to look at the highest and the lowest marks and then you do the ranking without taking into account all the conditions and situations under which our students are taught. So, for that reason, it is not--- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my first point was that the conditions under which students go to school in this nation are not on an equal level. So, it is very unfair that the schools are just ranked on the basis of the highest and the lowest. Secondly, we also realise that students are gifted in different ways. Some people are so academic and others are gifted in other areas. I have a student who did not do well in Standard Eight in Kisumu County, but that child can do music to the highest level. He can play all the musical ... view
