• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I gave my notice on 22nd February, 2010. When I hear that the Question was received this morning, I am wondering where it has been lying. The parents are not doing any other work, but queuing and sleeping at district headquarters. Could the Assistant Minister consider suspending this directive, so that we can continue with registration like it was done in the past? view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion and appreciate the Address of His Excellency the President. The President gave a Statement on various issues that he felt are important for us to discuss. One of them that he vehemently and clearly talked about was the issue of the Draft Constitution. He thanked the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Constitutional Review that met in Naivasha. He also expressed his appreciation for the work being done by the Committee of Experts (CoE). We did not expect more ... view

For example, under the Economic Stimulus Programme, we exempted the Ministry of Education from following the procedures used by other line Ministries. ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: your integrity to credibility. If you do not, that credibility is lost. So, if we have such personalities in positions that need persons of integrity, and they say that they will stay put, then they are not doing justice to Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last year, we had drought. We imported maize at a very high cost. We now have a bumper harvest. Unfortunately, where I come from, the prices of maize have gone down. The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), which should have opened its door for the purchase of that maize in Meru and Eastern ... view
• 25 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even after yesterday’s adjournment, we have been given a list whose contents have been here for the third time now. However, since the authors of this list do not take into consideration the wishes of the Members of this House, having been sent away with the list twice for review, it is only wise that we look at the list and accept it after we approve each individual name, because sending it away again will take another week. We will be wasting taxpayers’ money if we do not transact the business of this ... view
