• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We are technocrats in other areas, but they all add up to the same thing. We really want the Government--- Whatever it is. I do not know what you want me to say. It is the Government to do it. We can just say it to nobody. This money should be increased from Kshs1,020 to Kshs3,060. Hon. Members know very well that it is very difficult for our youngsters to engage in certain activities. There is need for some educational trips to be organised for them, so that they can familiarise themselves with a number of institutions in the country, ... view

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this very important Motion. What hon. Members have been talking about here today is like repeating ourselves, because we have had similar Motions in this House. The biggest problem has been follow-up and implementation.

So, there is no one who takes responsibility. That is what has been happening. I wish the Government could copy from what happens in the ICT sector because things change every day.
