• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Speaking to the issue that you have just dealt with, instead of having an ad hoc sort of arrangement, I would propose, under the Standing Order No.1, that you make a directive that in future, view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Procedural Motion. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this because we are not going to debate this in a hurry. We will have time to debate it when it comes. I support the concept that we want to generate business for the House when we come back. However, it is high time this House stopped the habit of rushing everything. In the last three months that we have been sitting, the truth of the matter is that every other Motion is brought before us here and we have actually have had to pass Bills that we have just seen on the Floor. Since we ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the answer that has been given by the Attorney-General through the Leader of the Majority Party and in my opinion, it is insufficient. Being a son of a Mau Mau fighter, I am looking at a situation where my father and people of his level of education and economic position are being told to go to Britain to get further information on this issue. When my colleague, hon. Kanini Kega, sought the information, I thought the Government would supply it. We pay taxes and pay ambassadors in foreign countries to help Kenyan citizens. The ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I also want to thank hon. Njomo for remembering this segment of the society. In Kipipiri where I come from only about ten per cent of the candidates in Form Four are able to make it to the university as per the last KCSE results. We do not have any middle level college in that constituency; in fact we do not have one in the entire county of Nyandarua. The effect of this is very clear that majority of the Form Four leavers end up loitering in the village. ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have looked at this Motion and I agree that hon. Wandayi has the best of intentions, despite bringing in so many issues that have attracted many missiles en route. It is true we have had the Goldenberg scandal that has lasted for eons. We have other documents that have consumed a lot of money - prepared as reports of inquiry – and yet, we have not received the findings. The findings are not made public. So, to me, I support this Motion by saying: Let the Government make sure that what has been happening ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I therefore, support this Motion and thank hon. Wandayi for becoming a convert. Thank you. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion as amended. What we really need is a reliable and scientific formula to identify bright and needy students in the society. Our experience is that the whole thing is done in a haphazard manner. If you go to a constituency, you will find that the bursary that is given through the Ministry of Education is given to some students. The bursary component in the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) is also given to another lot while other donors who may come in assist different students. In most cases, you will ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. Article 221 of the Constitution makes its mandatory for the Appropriations Bill to be moved and approved by Parliament before the Government can access the money in the Consolidated Fund. As my able Chairman has stated, we do not have seven days as provided by the view
