• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am reacting to the response I got. Projects have been completed in Sirisia, Webuye and Kimilili because those areas have Ministers, but there is nothing in Kanduyi and Bumula. What do you want us to say? Will the Government ever come to Bumula and Kanduyi to look for votes? When will you put Bumula and Kanduyi in the programme? view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the roofs of ten classrooms at Bumula FYM Primary School were blown off by wind on 30th March, 2006? (b) What plans does he have to assist the community repair the school? view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fact of the matter is that roofs of ten classrooms were blown off. I repaired three roofs with money from my pocket. That does not mean that the roofs were not blown off. The emergency funds are normally given to every school under the Free Primary Education Programme. However, how much money will the Ministry give to the school from the Disaster Management Fund? This money is usually given to friendly and politically well-connected schools. view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that he is going to ensure that normal learning in FYM Primary School in Bumula continues as usual. How will learning continue as usual without classrooms? How normal will that be? view

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the lawyers he has mentioned were Assisting Counsels to the Commission. They were not lawyers representing the Government. This is a very important issue. As everybody knows, I am normally very generous; bending over backwards to assist in answering Questions here. But this is an issue that is very fundamental. Commissions of inquiry by their very nature, are supposed to be independent. If I were to admit, even for a single moment, that the three Assisting Counsels were lawyers representing the Government, I would be undermining the whole concept of commissions of inquiry and the excellent ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is now a different Question. If it is asked properly, I will answer it. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just answered it. However, if the Chair wants me to answer it on the clear basis that they were not lawyers representing the Government and it is on the HANSARD to that effect, then I will be pleased to give that information. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question. Lawyers representing the Government is completely different from Assisting Counsel to the Commission. As I have tried to explain, Assisting Counsels assist an independent commission. The Question is about lawyers representing the Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to undermine the very basis of a commission of inquiry by, in any way implying that Assisting Counsels are actually lawyers representing the Government before an independent commission inquiring into a matter which is of great importance to the people of this country. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if that question was asked in the proper way, even tomorrow or next week, I will be able, ready and willing to give an answer. However, it should be phrased in the proper manner as to how much the Assisting Counsels to the Commission were paid. I will be able to answer it. view
