• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to condemn those who are engaged in the misappropriation of funds meant for free primary education and free secondary education. It is very unfortunate that in a serious matter like this one, we still have the people who have been running this Ministry still in power. These people should have resigned long time ago. The Minister and his Assistant Ministers, including my friend, Prof. Olweny, should have gone or left the offices to show the seriousness of this matter. Our kids have been made to lose out on ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very much in order and I am in this Government. We had a meeting in Mombasa where we had Ministers and Assistant Ministers and we were told that for every happening in the Ministry, a Minister, an Assistant Minister and the Permanent Secretary have to be in the know on a weekly basis. So, the Assistant Minister knows exactly what the Permanent Secretary does. That is why I am requesting that these people should be responsible for what happened. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: It is common knowledge that every pupil in a school is supposed to get about Kshs1, 300, but if you go to the schools, you will find that in a population of 1,000 pupils where you expect Kshs1 million plus to have been deposited to school accounts, you will find the headmaster telling you: “In account one, we have just been given Kshs200, 000; account 2 - Kshs7, 000.” However, if you try to match it with the population of the students, it does not add up. So, this money is being squandered and this is not the first time ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Otherwise, the people that we have put in power are not exactly exercising what they are supposed to do. If, indeed, we have people who are serious that they want to have this country and the education system move forward, let them carry out another forensic audit about these funds and ensure that the people who have misappropriated the funds are prosecuted. That is the only way we can give our kids education. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: However, my worry, despite supporting this Motion, is the issue of abolishing the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). What does it have to do--- I find it not necessary because it tries to link the KCPE with the failure of the Government to provide universal basic education. The issue should be, from primary school, the pupil should be able to proceed to secondary school with or without the KCPE. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: We are now trying to delimit this Motion by seeing KCPE as a barrier and yet it is not one of the barriers. I urge hon. Members to unanimously support this Motion and mobilise the masses to compel the Government to implement this Motion. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have some eyesight problems and the doctor told me to wear these dark glasses for a few days. I do not have studs! view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the Workman’s Compensation Act which caters for the compensation of employees at the work place. However, in that case, that was a criminal act. Those people were not advancing the course of the employer. They engaged in a criminal act and fought. So, there was no benefit accruing from the fight which the employer was going to gain. They are not catered for in the Act. view
