• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member had listened to my answer rather than being too anxious to raise a point of order, he would have realised that, in fact, I was answering that very point of order. We are talking about 24 months where the Assisting Counsels and Commissioners were working on full time basis. We are also talking about the complexity of the work and the Senior Counsel literally closing down their offices for 24 months. If you have been a Senior Advocate, I am sure you know how much you would earn in those 24 months and ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question was limited to assisting counsel and commissioners. Therefore, I did not go into the global issue. The furthest I went was the other support staff and that comes to Kshs68,997,202. I did not go into the global figure because that was not the Question before me. view

• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister admit that, that is a national problem. The Ministry is urging Members of Parliament to use the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money to expand the existing secondary schools and build new ones, so that they can cope with the high enrolment as a result of free primary education. My question is: Now that we have expanded classrooms using the CDF, what plans does the Government have to employ more teachers and make free primary education meaningful? If we employ more teachers, we will also have a good secondary education. view

Water is a rare commodity in Bumula. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, be now read a Second Time. I will crave the indulgence of the House to refer extensively to my notes in moving this Bill. This is an important Bill which touches on amendments to 30 different Statutes. My office receives proposed amendments from the Ministries which are implementing the various Acts. In the course of implementing the various Acts, they come across some provisions of the law which need amendments for the effective implementation of the Acts. Therefore, as I go through this, it ... view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I think they should take that into account. I think if they did that, then maybe we shall have to consider it together with the LSK. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am much obliged. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also a proposal, particularly from the LSK, in addition to this, which states that we should agree to the establishment of regional disciplinary committees in at least five regions other than Nairobi. I agree with it because the cry of the public has been that disciplinary cases are taking too long. The poor litigants have to come all the way to Nairobi for their cases to be heard against the advocates. That is also time consuming. The fact that when this proposal was put ... view
