• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently, there has been a rise in incidents of people taking the law into their own hands leading to mob justice, riots and incidents of that sort. What is the Government doing to make the due process of the law more attractive to people, taking the law into one’s own hands less attractive and to educate the next generation on the fatalities of taking the law into one’s own hands? view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, due to recent skirmishes in various parts of this country, we know a significant number of people have been displaced from their homes and are in danger of being disenfranchised in the next general election. Is the Assistant Minister confident that the next general election will be free and fair when so many people will not vote because of insecurity? view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is all very good for the Assistant Minister to talk about the conference held in Bomas of Kenya. However, from our last experience in the elections, it took a good four years before the people who were displaced to be settled. Elections will be held six months from now. What is the Government doing to make sure that every area in the country is safe for the people to vote because it is their right to do so? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, only this year the Government issued a statement to the effect that a technical college would be built in Lamu very soon in order to impart the skills necessary for the people of Lamu County to enjoy the employment opportunities the new port will be offering. Earlier this week, the National Youth Service (NYS) recruited a few of our young people for the purpose of training them for the same jobs. Has this exercise of the NYS been undertaken instead of the technical college or is it complementing your efforts? When is the college going to ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that due to its new status as a national school, Mpeketoni Secondary school has increased its enrolment by 350 students; (b) whether he is also aware that the increase in student enrolment has strained the school facilities such as dormitories to the extent that students are accommodated in the biology laboratory; and, (c) what urgent measures he will take to ensure that the school receives adequate funding to expand its facilities to a level befitting its new status. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the CDF gets only 2.5 per cent of Government revenue, and 97 per cent still remains with the national Government. This is a national school; so why does the Assistant Minister seek to abdicate his responsibility to the national school and pass it to CDF, which gets only 2.5 per cent of national revenue? Given that the enrolment in the school will be only 15 per cent of students in our county-- - view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister state that they will release the funds during the implementation stage. Why do they not release the funds now so that we put up the infrastructure and when the implementation stage comes, we have the facilities ready to receive the students instead of releasing the money when the students come and we still have the bottleneck? view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Mr. Mungatana for his well meaning Motion and now Bill which according to him in his usual eloquent manner is designed to boost coconut farming at the coast. When we listened to his speech, we gathered that he was more concerned about the industry being anchored in law but I do not blame him because his background is law. He seems to believe – and the Seconder as well – that merely by anchoring it into law, everything will become wonderful. Unfortunately, given my economic and agricultural background - I am ... view
