• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, cognizant that when the colonialists came to this country, they sponsored education where they played most of the roles such as provision of physical facilities, learning materials, teachers and the like; aware of the fact that at independence, the Government started playing a bigger role in the provision of the facilities and services thereby diminishing the role of the so called sponsors who were in most cases missionaries and today, those who play these roles are the Government, the local communities and leadership; this House urges the ... view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sorry I thought it was just one copy, because I was given much later than--- view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the minimum university entry requirement is a C+ attained at KCSE, concerned there has been an exponential increase in students attaining the qualifying mark against stagnating capacity in public universities; alarmed at the continued drastic increase in the cost of university education; this House urges the Government to balance the cost between the regular and parallel systems of university education, in order to ensure equity and accord more students an opportunity to pursue education at that level while providing the institutions with sustainable sources of ... view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister is not telling us the truth. It is just recently when I raised the issue of the Vihiga District Hospital which does not have water. Is he in order to tell us that they have the capacity to provide water when they do not have? view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had an opportunity for this road. I think one of the reasons these roads are in this kind of state is because they were not designed to carry the kind of load they carry when the main road from Nakuru to Kisumu is in a bad state. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that when the road from Nakuru to Kisumu is being repaired the heavy trucks are given subways so that they do not use roads which are not designed to carry that kind of load? view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is an issue you raised which the Assistant Minister has not responded to about how long it will take. He is all the time saying, he is going to do it. When is he going to do it? view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister because she has, at least, been giving us information on what is going on; how the money is being disbursed and how payments are being made. Since we are in the era of reforms, devolution, decentralisation and so on, could she consider working very seriously with Treasury, so that she could have more funding for this Ministry, particularly at the grassroots-level, so that the officers can have the capacity to address the problems we are raising about lack of awareness and lack of supervision on what the intermediaries are doing, ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with due respect to the Assistant Minister, I find some of the statements the Government gives us here rather theoretical or not well researched. When we talk about inflation being at around five percent, and we find that the prices of essential commodities like foodstuffs, fuel and so on, are very high--- I do not know what measures the Assistant Minister is putting in place to ensure that what we talk about here trickles down. I still find that it is very difficult for the ordinary people to afford some of the foodstuffs and commodities. Could ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the Ministry is doing. The Assistant Minister talked of what they are doing not only in Coast Province, but the rest of the country. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been similar cases in Western Province. We are wondering whether it has to do with the headship of the police in Western Province because when Western PPO was transferred from Nairobi to Mombasa, the rate of crime here went down. When he moved from there to Western Province, the rate of crime has gone up. I do not know what he is considering to do on this matter. I understand the same PPO is being considered for a senior job in Government. They are considering making him the CID boss. We would like to ... view
