• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this one is slightly more refined. In the same spirit, now that the Minister for Finance is here, and following the kind of commitment he made here when we were opening this Chamber last week, I brought a Motion here where we were seeking - in line with the new Constitution - that we must provide education for all. There is a Motion we passed in this House that, that money be raised from Kshs1,060 to Kshs3,180 per child in primary school. We were trebling the amount. The amount for secondary schools was to be doubled from ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that schools are about to close for second term holidays and yet the free primary and secondary education funds have not been released to them and, if so, why? (b) What measures is the Minister taking to expedite the release of the money in order to relieve the schools and parents of the hardships they are experiencing in their operations for lack of funds? view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I raised the Question yesterday, but the Assistant Minister who was here then was not able to answer it. He requested that the answer be brought today. However, they have brought the same answer. It is very insufficient. On the first part of the Question, he has not even given reasons the money has not been released. He says they have prepared the disbursement schedule for the balance of the Kshs4.8 billion. Why has it not been released and what efforts is he making to release it immediately? The Ministry is not serving any purpose. view

• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a Ministry where there has been one Minister and two Assistant Ministers. The two Assistant Ministers have been very lucky because they have had Ministers who have let them follow consistently what goes on in this chamber. They have been answering Questions all the time even when Prof. Ongeri was there and even under the current Minister. So, they should be keeping track of what should be done. It is not like the other Assistant Ministers who keep on complaining that they are not exposed. Hon. Mwatela and Prof. Olweny have been here for ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I raised this issue because of what is happening. Schools are closing, we are going to the third term and examinations are round the corner. The children will be having their national music festivals in Meru this week. This has made teachers to ask Members of Parliament like myself to sponsor activities in the schools. I think this is what is causing concern. Could the Assistant Minister come with an answer in the afternoon? view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just as you are making the ruling now, somebody has dropped an answer here. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is aware of that. It is an answer to the same Question. I do not know whether you want to have a look at it. This is a copy of the written answer. Could I read it out? But let us go by your ruling that the Assistant Minister presents this tomorrow morning although there is a copy of the written answer that has come. view

• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: (i) He should first of all give the full list and the locality of the airports and airstrips in the country. view
