• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek your guidance on the mode of dressing that is allowed in this House. We already know that hats and a kitenge are allowed. However, are colourful kitenges like the one worn by hon. Mwaura allowed in this House? I think he should stand up so that everyone can see it. Is this the right mode of dressing in this House? view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my dear friend to say that it is China that is fuelling the illegal trade? He has said that China is supporting us in other sectors of our economy but she is not supporting us in dealing with the black market for ivory, and that we should ask ourselves whether China is a friend or not. It is not China, as a country, that is involved in that illegal trade. It may be some Chinese citizens who are involved. I do not think we can fairly condemn a whole country for the ... view

• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to refer to the Speech of His Excellency the President. It was a very ambitious Speech because it has very many ambitious goals. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and we are very grateful that they had the vision which must be implemented. I would like to quote President Kagame of Rwanda who says: “Vision without implementation is hallucination.” So, we are here and we will support him. We will also be behind the President. We will look out to see how he performs. view

• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: The issue of laptops has been very emotive, but I want to tell you that this is not new. I have been to Rwanda for over five years and I have seen the Rwanda Laptop per child Programme. If that country is ordering over 2.5 million computers and I have seen them in primary schools being operational--- As a matter of fact, I was trying to implement that in Kisumu but unfortunately, the Ministry of Education at that time did not have the vision that we had. They wanted to dump on us some very funny computer models which we ... view

• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: In Europe every single primary school student has a laptop. As my dear friend, the hon. Member for Chuka/Igambang’ombe has said, it costs US$180. They need to see that the One Laptop per child Programme has e-box in it. It has everything. You do all you need and you do not require exercise or text books. It is all inclusive. I have done a lot of work on this and I think we can share some of the thoughts. We can go and see what is happening in Rwanda. view
