• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good suggestion and we will do that. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will look at the document. However, the office in question was undertaken through a joint effort by the Government and the community. The community raised Kshs450,000 and the Government contributed Kshs200,000. The money that was contributed by the Government has been properly accounted for. It is the money that was contributed by the community that we have a problem with. That is why we have instructed the 4388 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2007 DCs to appoint a technical committee to look into the matter and table a report that will advise us on the way forward. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) District boundaries raise emotive feelings between communities. Due to this sensitive nature of boundaries, the Government did not, and has no intention of implementing the recommendations of the Mwangovya Commission. (b) The Committee completed its work and a report was handed over to the appointing authority to study before implementation. As I have already said, we have looked at it and we have no intention of implementing the recommendations therein. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have already said, it is no longer fashionable to appoint a committee to determine the boundaries of any given district. Nowadays, we ask the communities, through their leaders, to sit together and decide on any new boundaries, be they administrative or any other. I would advise the leaders in those districts to sit together and decide on the new boundaries of the districts, so that we can use them as the way forward. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is something that was done before this Government came to power. It is no longer fashionable to appoint a committee to determine the boundaries of any given district. Nowadays, we do it through the leaders of communities. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the question of how many commissions have been appointed is a totally different one from what I am handling now. If the hon. Member wants to know how many commissions have been appointed by this Government, let him file a proper Question and we will bring the answer to Parliament. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the people of Kenya are free to live anywhere. I have some Teso living in Kilifi. I cannot understand what the hon. Member is saying. In any case--- view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the districts we are creating are supposed to bring services closer to the people. You can imagine that the people of Taveta used to travel about 150 kilometres in order to see their District Commissioner. Now we have sent their DC there, so that they can be served as nearer as possible. I do not think that this will cause any kind of animosity. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to seek your indulgence to allow me to answer this Question on Tuesday next week, because there is very vital information that we have not received from our officers on the ground. view
• 5 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware. However, I am aware that Kshs152,400, being proceeds of an impromptu Harambee meant for the Teso Youth Development Programme were deposited at the Teso District Treasury, but was later withdrawn by the depositors on 27th July, 2005, to be used for the then existing youth programmes. 3696 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 5, 2007 (b) If the money was misappropriated, we advise the hon. Member to report the matter to the police for necessary action. view
