• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also at a loss because the Government Printer answers to a Ministry. Absolutely, I have no explanation as to why he would not gazette that. I have had him reminded twice and there are letters written to him to remind him that the Board appointed a Managing Director after the due process. Therefore, it should be gazette. He says there is a court case, but when we first sent the Gazette Notice, there was no such case. I cannot say that this is the Grand Coalition problem because nobody has addressed me on that. However, ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am unaware although I am aware that you directed that today there would be many Statements to be given. None of them is mine. view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to confirm that I do not have a reasonable explanation. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service Bill be now read the Second Time. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill is about the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), which was established in 1996 under the State Corporations Act, with a mandate to update quality control services through administration of regulatory framework, with focus on protection of plant resources and facilitation of trade, but more importantly to protect our own agricultural products, and also establish standards in the industry. The mandate that was given to KEPHIS at the time was limited. The mandate is governed by Acts of Parliament but we seek now to expand the mandate to give some more teeth to KEPHIS ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, may I request my able assistant, Mr. Ndambuki, to second. I beg to move. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Spear, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill. This Bill has, obviously, undergone a lot of work, because I have seen that on areas which have hitherto now been ignored, especially special education, the Bill has been crafted extremely well. As hon. Members probably know, we have children with special needs in schools, with no teachers or appropriate facilities. They stay there for a short time and then give up and go away. So, I am very pleased to see particularly this area being given attention. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: So, if you are in that situation, how are you going to compete with people in other areas which have teachers and infrastructure? If you are my generation, it would not have affected you because you had the teachers even if infrastructure was not there. It is sometimes hard to believe it, but I started school writing with my finger in the soil but teachers were practically uniform across the country. The exams were uniform and we could get through. We can say that, sometimes, by the grace of God, when you look at those children who are running away ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: I went to standard one having lived in this city for a while. Therefore, I was the top dog because I was already educated by just being around other children who were in school. For the child who was then coming from a situation without early childhood education, and being in an environment where people were illiterate, they could not even understand why they were being asked the names of their father. They could just say “my father is called Daddy and mother is called Mummy,” but they had no idea about the other names. But at that time, I ... view
