• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Koech is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology and he is fully aware--- If he could only care to listen to me, I would be able to give him an answer that he requires. He is fully aware that the Government, through the infrastructure development programme, has selected a number of schools every financial year to benefit from the infrastructure development programme. We are fully aware that not all the schools are up to the mark and it is possible that we may not be able to complete them within any ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my intention, as the Minister for Education, to come to this august House once a Sessional Paper has been prepared; on a number of areas that would require radical changes in policy and legal frameworks. So far, I am processing the Kamunge Report, which is on my desk, to a Sessional Paper. It recommends that more than 167 pieces of Acts be amended. The request that Mr. Chanzu has made will be part of the comprehensive review. I am, therefore, in line with that request. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my answer was very specific. I am not aware. If I am made aware, then it is logical. The next thing to do would be to carry out investigations and, if anybody is found guilty, action would be taken against him. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will endeavor to transmit the message to the Minister, Mrs. Sambili, the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports about the query raised. Maybe, it will be addressed by next week on Tuesday. view

• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate Mr. Mungatana’s query. Would I be in order to request that he waits patiently because this substantially forms the basis upon which the Budget is predicated and the Budget is only a few weeks away? That would be a major policy pronouncement within the Budget. This House has a Budget Office, which will also assist in dealing with these very critical issues that affect Kenyans. I do not know whether this piecemeal information will be important, other than during the Budget day when it will be comprehensively dealt with. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he will be too happy to state. I was saying that two or three weeks is not too long. Understandably, I will request him to do so, but there was another query yesterday which he is supposed to respond to this afternoon. I think it is only fair that the Chair give him another week, so that he can respond to it on Thursday, next week. This requires a very comprehensive response. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the enormity of issues raised in the Presidential Speech, and realizing that the Government is not a monopoly of all the answers, this provides a very favourable climate and opportunity for hon. Members to contribute to the debate on the Presidential Speech and give us an opportunity to sample and aggregate the various issues raised in the Presidential Speech. There could never have been a better time. For the sake of saving time so that we could go on straight to business of the day, I second this Motion that the business appearing on today’s ... view
