• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to oppose this Bill and I have several reasons for doing this. As much as it is very important for us to have standards and more so in education---- If you look at the Kenya Bureau of Standards, you will find that it is a body that standardizes the quality of the products that enter the country or are produced in our country. So, that gives many people confidence when they see the diamond quality on any product. It will also be very important to do the same on our education ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: However, the issues that I have with the Bill, as many of my colleagues have already mentioned, is that we are talking about the issue of the number of commissions; that we cannot have another commission because we have very many commissions and the wage bill is growing by the day. We will not stop running our country because of the issue of the wage bill. In my view, we can form any authority and we are at liberty to run the country the way we should because that is what we are here for. However, we should address corruption. ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The President said yesterday that they will forgo 20 per cent of their salary to allow the Government save only Kshs45 million in a whole year. What is Kshs45 million compared to the wage bill which stands at Kshs50 billion? To me, it does not make a lot of difference. I think that the most important thing that we should do with our education-- - This is because if you look at the system, you will realize that sometimes somebody goes to study in America or any other country but when he or she comes here--- A friend of mine ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: talking of 300,000 who are not going to join universities. In Kenya, something is also going wrong. All of us want to go to the university. We have middle level colleges yet we do not have enough technicians. We lack technicians. You realize that a place like Kisumu, you would rather get technicians from across the border, namely, Uganda. Why would we get technicians from Uganda in things like masonry and carpentry? This is because in Kenya we only value university education and we do not have room for technical colleges and certificates. We can start from whatever level. We ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to conclude my contribution. I meant that the police was alerted. That is what I meant to say. If we regularize our education system, we can mobilize our people in the rural areas to go back to school through the adult education programme. This means that even if you did not reach Form Four and left at whatever level and you decide to go for adult education, it should be very clear that after this level, maybe you do Standard Eight, then Form Four and after that, you can continue to college or up ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not support and I have already given the reasons. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think I would fail as a leader from Kisumu County if I do not start by congratulating students who did their Form IV last year. You can see Kisumu County did very well--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: It is not part of the Report, hon. Speaker, but it is just--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Going back to the Report--- I am sorry but I would like to go back to the one which is already there. There is a certificate here for Mr. Abdillahi Alawy, which does not even have the date. I do not know the authenticity of such a certificate. In my view, all the certificates should have dates and years of graduation so that you can know so and so graduated on such and such a date. Hon. Speaker, to join my fellow hon. Members who have already spoken from my side, I would like to say ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: to whoever is doing the appointment, even if it is the President. I believe it is the President. If somebody can pass number one, two, three, four, five and then jump to number six, then what is the role of the Committee? The Committee spends a lot of time and sits long hours to give a detailed report, but even in the rejections or in the appointments, no good reasons are given. You cannot see why so and so is number one or number two. They are rejected and no reasons are given. You just see that so and so ... view
