• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as it has been said before, the overriding spirit of this conference, if I can read one paragraph of the Report on page 5 says:- “The overriding spirit of the conference was captured by the declaration by Russian political leaders that Russia should return to Africa and that the envisioned partnership and bilateral relations should be based on mutual respect, mutual benefit and free from all ideological dogmas.” view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want to appreciate the fact that we made it very clear, all of us among the Kenyan delegation and the African delegations which were there, that we had not gone to Russia to beg; we had gone there to look for partnerships, to learn, build friendships and build partnerships in many, many spheres. I think according to us and the Report, we did not come back empty handed; we came back with a lot of knowledge which the Report highlights. We also left them with a lot of knowledge. Quite a number of Russians are not ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all said and done, I would also like to highlight a few items that I have noted. A lot of recommendations have been made, especially with regard to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education. I do not know whether, in their wisdom – the recommendations we have made, a lot of them touch on the Ministry of Trade – since I came back, I think, maybe, that is why the Principals, in their wisdom, decided to appoint me in the Ministry of trade in order to take the action myself. So, as for the ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appeal to the Ministry of Education to also try and see if they can implement the recommendations by encouraging our students to go to Russia and read. We have to renegotiate the scholarships because some of them are partial scholarships. Maybe we will ask the Ministry to try and get full scholarships instead. Also on the other hand, we have quite a number of students who are privately sponsored and some are in a lot of financial stress knowing very well that Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world. But ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek four clarifications. We have been told quite a number of times that the delay in the implementation of the ESP is due to other reasons, but the way I see it, especially with an example from my constituency and the constituencies around mine, the delay is due to shortage of personnel from the Ministry of Public Works. Most of the projects are infrastructure view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to state that one of the schools in my constituency is the most affected by this issue. I would like to say that 180 students or the whole school was accused of having colluded in the exams although we do not have evidence to that effect. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very grateful to the Minister for waiving the two year ban because that was the most serious of all the issues. Obviously, I do not condone leaking of exams but then I would like to get ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion and also to make my maiden contribution. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish I had talked earlier; maybe, I would have had so much to talk about, but I have been listening. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity, obviously this being my first time, to thank the people of Bomachoge for giving me this opportunity to be in this honorable House and to rub shoulders with these hon. Members and colleagues. I also take the opportunity to thank all the hon. Members very, very much because when I came in, the kind of fight we had in the by-election, I expected it to ... view
