• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister and also congratulate him for the reforms that are taking place now, particularly the workshop they undertook recently in Naivasha. The main problem seems to be the way the information went out. It was like an ambush. I want the Minister to tell the House what he is going to do with the mode of examining. This seems to be the main problem. This is the reason why every child has to get grade A. So, the teachers are under pressure to ensure that it is realized. That is the reason ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I sought a Statement from the Minister for Transport on 8th August, 2012 about the state of airports and airstrips. We have asked several times about this. Last week, the Minister promised to give the Statement today and the Speaker directed so. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Bill. I want to congratulate my brother Dr. Khalwale for proving that he is interested in the welfare of the poor and the less fortunate. I also want to commend the team that was set up by the Government. This is the Francis Nyenze team. They came up with a wonderful report which was presented to the Minister for Co-operatives Development and Marketing, Mr. Joseph Nyagah, on 24th June, 2009. I see that this report has all the basic information that the Government would have used to deal ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Just give me ten seconds to conclude, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Bill. We need to encourage the small savers in this country. With introduction of bamba 10 or bamba 50 credit card, Safaricom company has penetrated in all spheres of our lives. This is the way saving schemes will work in this country. We know small savers have little money and we need to protect it, so that it can be help our economy to grow. With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in condemning these acts and to congratulate hon. Martha Karua for bringing this Motion for Adjournment. I think what seems to be happening in this country is that we talk like this and then when something happens the following day, it is all forgotten even by the Government. This is because of the history that we have gone through. We have gone through these kinds of crimes or incidents many times but there is nothing that happens. This time this thing happened the same day the President was launching the ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I am also surprised that when something like this happens, those who are supposed to take action join those who cannot take action in crying. It is the inactivity by the Government in handling these matters that protracts them and then they happen again. This happened in a place where there was traffic and vehicles were moving. It should have been possible for the intelligence arm of the Government to be able to know what was happening. Even the way the reporting was done, it was haphazard. It is up to the Government to take responsibility. I am happy that ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that the financier will take over the project, but he has not said what he will do with the project. What do you intend to do after taking over the project? view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Minister prepares to address the various issues that have been raised, I think it would have been appropriate for him to issue a Statement now on what action he has taken to solve what is going on. The news that we heard over lunch time was that many more people have been killed. So, the Minister should issue a Statement now on what he has done to stop the chaos. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should consult or pass on information to the relevant Minister. view
