• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank you for giving me this chance to make my humble contribution on this Report. The Report that is before us is an extremely important one for a number of reasons. First, the participation of hon. Members in this process; negotiations with the EU on behalf of Kenya, 478 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 10, 2007 being a part of the ACP-EU countries, gives the political leaders and Parliament the very rare opportunity to be a participant in the economic partnership agreements between ACP-EU countries. Without the participation of Parliament through ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: But, of course, as you can see, some hon. Members are consulting at a corner on issues which, I am sure, have nothing to do with this particular Report. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: If you look at the current stalemate in WTO, the only other important trade agreement is the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which as you know is fluttering and EPAs, our trade and investment agreement with the EU. How can you explain the absence of these key Ministries?

• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleague, Mr. Ojode in congratulating the Minister for coming out very openly over that issue. But we should not pretend not to be tribalists. The fact remains that this country is made up of tribes. As a result, we are embracing the principle of affirmative action. It is only fair that when talking about an important issue such as human resource, it is not just a question of employment but actually a catalyst of development not only at a national level but up to the village level where individuals come from. ... view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate. I just wanted to make a background then I can seek a clarification. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has given an undertaking that he is reviewing the Personnel Management Policy. What specifically will he do about the necessity to ensure that recruitment in the first place, ensures equatability across the board and that the element of affirmative action takes care of the minority communities? view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the distribution of the human training development resources which are under his Ministry, how is it being distributed so that it impacts positively and equitably on the succession management within the Public Service? view
