Genuine concerns have been raised by students as regards how the institution is being run and managed.

• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to congratulate my colleagues and mostly hon.

Tong’i to be in this committee because the incident at the Kisii University--- I am a parent or a guardian in that University and I have been following what seems to have been hidden by the media fraternity time and again.

• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. On the outset, I want to oppose this Bill. The reasons for opposing are four.

I voted for Uhuru Kenyatta because of the laptops and my daughter always asks me if Uhuru will give her a laptop. I also voted for him for the railway gauge and many other factors. It is in the same way that wananchi elected governors. It was because of their specific agenda. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thirdly, when we look at this Bill,it is said that these boards will even make recommendations and in the process maybe deviate from the governors’ agenda.
