• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: What I am saying is that there are many issues that were raised by the President. However, there must tangible suggestion on how we are going to address this. When we talk about the judiciary, look at the amount of corruption that is in the judiciary. I do not want to defend that. When it is said in the proposed Constitution that judges must be told to step aside and be reappointed, it becomes a crisis. I was following a story about this lady who is a judge in Meru. Lawyers and advocates have protested against her. I came to ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was a sad week for Kenya. We were watching TV and saw milk being poured by KCC. Why did the Government not make earlier arrangements to give that milk to the needy people in this country? view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to seek a clarification on a very important point. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also find the Minister very proactive compared to what I have seen before in this Ministry. Now that there are strong indications that the management team, starting with the Chairman of AFC Leopards, have either resigned, or are on their way to resigning, what will she do to make sure that there are no internal wrangles with the club, if that happens? view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) to reveal the identity of the two contractors awarded the contract to patch up Kisumu-Kakamega road as well as the criteria used to select them; (b) the respective contract sums for the two sections (Kisumu- Chavakali and Chavakali-Kakamega); and, (c) the action he will take against the contractors, especially the one at the Kisumu-Chavakali Section, in view of the shoddy work done, which is peeling off even before completion of the works. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have got very serious concerns about this Question, particularly part “c” of the answer because the Assistant Minister has not satisfactorily answered it. One, the selection of the contractors by the Post-Qualification Regional Term Contracts (PQRTC) is causing a lot of favouritism. Two, anybody using that road knows very well that the workmanship from Kisumu to Chavakali is totally different from the workmanship beyond those two places. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Assistant Minister says that the contractors carried out the work as specified in the contract, he is implying that either there is something amiss ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a serious disconnect between what the Assistant Minister is telling us and what they are getting from the officers. One of the reasons is that the engineers are the ones who are contractors. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that the Ministry has proper linkages in terms of the information view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the minimum university entry requirement is a C+ attained at KCSE; concerned that there has been an exponential increase in students attaining the qualifying mark and against disproportionate capacities in the local 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 locally at that level, while providing ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Again, on part “a” of the Question, one of the reasons why we end up with these white elephant projects in this country is because of the same question; the issue of feasibility studies. There is a Question that was asked about the cost or the figures and the Assistant Minister said that, that was not part of the Question. I think feasibility study is a very wide thing. So, if you have not included it in the report, I would urge that you include it, because it includes cash flows, earnings and the ... view
