Hon. (Dr.)James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me start by appreciating the initiative by Hon. John Kiarie (KJ) . Storing knowledge is recognising knowledge, and a museum is exactly in the same place as a library, except how it is used....

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. May I also take this opportunity to congratulate our colleague for shifting and picking up very well in his new docket. My Question is on the preservation of indigenous trees. Some of these trees have very high commercial value....

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health. The Statement our Hon. Chairman has read does not reflect the position of the Members of that Committee. One, and I say it with courage…

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Let me finish. Two…

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, to begin with, we were not even aware that this Statement was going to be made here. There are three issues. One, is the issue of the integrated health information system, whose purchase costs Ksh104 billion. Two, is the transition process...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) If the Ministry wishes to make a statement to the public, it should not be through this House. If the Ministry wants to make a statement, it should not make reference to the discussions before the Committee. Once the Ministry mentions issues that are...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Deputy Speaker You may proceed. Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a Report that we need to support. The future of Africans, in my view, lies in the unity of Africa and...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you once again, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We are coming up with great ideas today that are not receiving much attention. The concept of this technopolis, which is actually an industrial park, is for innovation. The bigger idea behind it is the use of...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Whereas I do support this, but they are actually ignoring an extremely important fact that we should address. If in some parts of this country we are actually having a problem of getting people with qualifications of that level...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Report of the Joint Committee. I must commend the Joint Committee for the work they have done. They have looked at all the relevant areas and the processes that...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question is technical. The key issue is the banding instrument. You said that you are using means testing. Which means testing are you using? Is it a proxy means testing or any other means testing? When you started using...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) When we want validation of the instrument, you have designed the instrument and you have got the people to fill it and give you information. You must then go to the village and see if the information given reflects the true life of those...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We are in a crisis because the Ministry of Education is characterised by lack of coherence in policy formulation and implementation. In the recent past, what have they done? They came up with things such as delocalisation, localisation, 100...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this. First, I appreciate the work that the Committee you chaired has done. But I want to make one point regarding that. It is good for us to get these reports early. The...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a big problem for all the people around the lake. I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that two years ago, we passed a Bill in this House that established the Kenya Coast...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Hon. Speaker, this is a beautiful proposal that is not progressing well because of logistics and management. At this point, what we need for every student is information. For instance, if you are in Band One, this is your amount for the loan and...

Hon. (Dr) James Nyikal (Seme, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I appreciate how far back we have gone when I listen to people. All the things we are recommending here and wishing to do were in the East African Community Treaty. Some of us...
