• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my earlier answer, I said that Lake Victoria is an East African resource and, as a country, we do not want to start putting our military officers there when other countries are not doing so. view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion in principle. First, I have no interest whatsoever. Secondly, I have full confidence in the Committee which has done a very wonderful job. view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: If we listened very carefully when the Chairman was presenting his report, he stated that from January 5th to date, they have meticulously followed all the rules and regulations in arriving at their decision. He further told us that out of 27 hon. Members, the interview panel was attended by 25 hon. Members of the Committee. If we really want independence in this Committee, we have no other option but to agree to the recommendations of the hon. Members of the panel. Why do I say that? Today, we were attending prayers and a fundraiser for the Nakumatt and Molo ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to support the Motion. At the same time, I would like to thank this august House for recognising the plight of the people in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). I think as time goes, we will be able to catch up with our brothers in other parts of the country. We are taking cognizance of the fact that this august House has given the people from those areas an opportunity when we elected Mr. Abdikadir to be the Chairman of both the Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to agree with Mr. Affey when he said yesterday that time has come when we should be aspiring for higher offices. I see all the signs are there. We are no longer going to be trailers but we are going to sit in the bus and drive the rest of the passengers in this country. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not forget to thank the current regime. It will be recalled that in the last Parliament, I brought a Motion asking the Government to set up a marshall plan for those areas so that we can catch up with the rest of the country. I am pleased that the Government created a Ministry and appointed a Minister. Unfortunately, it looks that every one step we take forward, we seem to be taken two steps backwards as far as northern Kenyan is concerned. It is illogical to expect a driver to be a Form ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Actually, most of the drivers are self made mechanics. They can repair any vehicle on earth, unlike Form IV students. The other thing is: To expect a chief--- It is always good to go into the culture of the people and the norms that the community accepts. In the old days before Independence, we used to have traditional rulers called the sultans. They had no education. That is why in those days, we never had any crime in those parts of the country. Now, you take a boy who is just from school, he is not even married, he does ... view

• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: today, we cannot take our children to medical training colleges. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: As the Mover of the Motion and the Seconder, Mr. Ethuro, have mentioned, we are not able to train any teachers. Most of the teachers who are being trained today--- We know that after five years, most of the teachers who are from other parts of the country will leave. We will go back to square one. We will be without teachers to teach in our schools. I am glad to note that, under the current regime, when the CDF was introduced and implemented, we have really gone very far in getting our children to go to schools to get ... view
