• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have asked the question! In fact, they are three questions! view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I am satisfied with the Minister's answer, I am only surprised that the Government, which the people of this region, and which the Minister represents, has taken so long to bring industrialisation to Marakwet in Kerio Valley, considering that when they, especially the youth, saw that the President promised 500,000 jobs, they voted overwhelmingly for this Government, and now we only have six or seven months before the time expires. Can he promise that in that six months, they will have brought industrialisation to Kerio Valley instead of the barter trade that we are still ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister is misleading this House by saying that they do not have enough personnel in the Ministry of Health. They are not replacing those staff who have retired or who have left because of natural attrition. There are so April 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 735 many people who are t rained but they have not been employed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could he tell this House what he is going to do about this situation because we have enough medical personnel? view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is no quorum in this House. In fact, there is nobody on the Government side! view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had the opportunity, once, to go to Mt. Elgon when we were taking maize there. We took maize and blankets to women and children who were suffering because their property was burnt in their houses. Does that amount to my being the cause of insecurity in Mt. Elgon? If you saw the newspapers today, what I saw in Mt. Elgon is what I witnessed in Marakwet when the Pokots were fighting with the Marakwet over cattle. But that was cattle. What are people fighting over in Mt. Elgon? Women are suffering in Mt. Elgon such ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: As a mother I am concerned about the children of Mt. Elgon. When my children go to school in the morning, I remember where my great grand-parents came from. The origin of the Kalenjin community is Mt. Elgon. We cannot allow our roots to be destroyed by a person who is protecting his personality or parliamentary seat at the expense of the people of Mt. Elgon. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not mentioned any names. I have only mentioned my name by saying that I once took blankets there and the only weapon I had to protect myself against the gun was my shoe. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a known fact that when insecurity takes place, the people who bear the biggest brunt are women and children. I am asking this House to do something to protect the women and children in Mt. Elgon. Normally, their men take off and most of them are the cause of this insecurity. They normally take off alone, but a woman takes off with ten children. How is that possible? The Government needs to come in and protect the women and children of Mt. Elgon. The Government should also put up a rescue centre for the ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister seems to be taking us round in circles. This Question is specific. It is about the RVF. This is something that has happened. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what he has done to children in regions affected by the RVF? These children are at home. For example, Marakwet District was affected by the RVF. I went to the mass media to draw his attention to this issue. Children are at home because we are not able to sell our livestock to get school fees. What has he done to ensure that children ... view
