• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see that the Minister did not really know what he was answering. We are addressing complaints in the Public Service; that there is inequity, unfair play where people are moved around and even retired unfairly. The Minister is talking about a Bill which will not see the light of day during the Ninth Parliament! Could he tell us what measures he is prepared to put in place, right now, to ensure that we are moving towards transparency, as we are asking in part "c" of the Question? view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: It is, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Will I be in order to request the Minister that we defer the Question until he comes back with a list of names of the 26,000 employees? view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask my Question but I do not have a written answer. view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Public Service:- (a) how many Kenyans have been employed by the Public Service Commission (PSC) since January, 2003, to May, 2007; (b) whether he could table a list indicating how they are distributed in terms of constituencies, where they come from and the percentage of the constituency; and, (c) what measures he will take to ensure that recruitment by the Public Service Commission is done in a fair and transparent manner and distribution is based on constituencies and not districts to ensure that all constituencies benefit. view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no problem with that. However, I think he should respond to it tomorrow. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, dogs are friends of man and are good in solving crime. Given that we have so much crime all over the place, we can see that they are just giving these dogs as a show of tokenism. This is not a serious matter that the Assistant Minister has taken on. Could he tell us at what rate he can breed dogs so that they could be distributed all over Kenya? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) if he is aware that there are no computerized record systems in all public universities in Kenya; (b) if he is further aware that university students end up being awarded wrong grades due to lost records; and, (c) what urgent steps he is going to take to ensure that all public universities introduce computerized recording systems in order to improve on their accuracy and efficiency. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, but it is very general and highly inadequate. I receive many complaints from students who have their graduation delayed and, therefore, they are unable to join postgraduate programmes in good time or to get jobs. They have nowhere to complain because their transcripts or marks cannot be found. So, I would like the Assistant Minister to tell me which universities he actually visited to get this information. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that, indeed, there is a problem. Could he assure us that university students can inquire for transcripts and get them on the spot? Could he also consider having a general complaints centre for students? Many times, students are afraid to complain to anybody. They cannot even complain to the lecturers or to the administration. Can we be assured that university students have a place to take their complaints? Those of you here who have children or relatives in public universities know that what I am saying is, in fact, the truth. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could I ask this Question on behalf of Mr. Rotino? view
