• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy with the answer as it is. view
• 29 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In fact, creation of jobs for individuals in the Government has actually contributed greatly to the compromise of quality or standards of services to Kenyans. The Ministry of Education is now divided into basic and higher education. My question to the Minister is, recently, we saw some middle-level colleges where students were taking a certificate course when, in a sense, they had grade B minus. What is the Ministry of Higher Education doing, along with other Ministries like that of education, because these are cross-cutting issues, to standardize admission criteria into middle-level colleges? view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Public Works: (a) who was granted the tender for the rehabilitation of staff quarters at Garissa Teachers’ Training College (b) what the total cost for the works was; and (c) what the level of progress to date is. view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have had a chance to personally see the works that were undertaken at the Garissa Teachers Training College. I respect the Minister for Public works, but, unfortunately, the works that were undertaken are really sub-standard. I have a copy of the intended works and I would want an explanation on three items, and why the Ministry found it fit to actually allocate this amount of money. One, they have called something “preliminaries.” These are not major works like roads and equipment, and can easily be sourced from within Garissa. I am surprised ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a copy of the intended works and I do not mind sharing it with the Minister, if you allow me. The intended services work included electrical installation, kitchen equipment, plumbing and drainage, gas, library--- I can give him the copy. But I am specifically questioning the one on the kitchen equipment. Honestly, if you have to repair, for instance, an oven or a fridge, these are exaggerated costs according to him. I can share this document with him, if you will allow me to do so. view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the response to the Question says 85 per cent of work is complete. Work may be complete but it is sub- standard. Could the Minister make an effort to send a team from his Ministry headquarters to assess the works that were undertaken physically? I have personally seen the works but it is sub-standard. I am not an engineer but I can be able to tell you that they are sub-standard. Can the Minister send a team to go and inspect the work and give him a report? view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under part “b” of the Question, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is expected to give details. He said that he gave waivers amounting to Kshs17 billion. I would like to know the details of these transactions. Who are the people who were given the waivers of Kshs17 billion? view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question on maize keeps on coming to this House months and years on end, and it remains unresolved. We know that it cuts across Ministries, and that it has reached the highest level but, to date, it has not been resolved. Nevertheless, let me ask my question. Based on the information given by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, which is of great interest to Kenya in general, could he confirm, now that he has not tabled the report, that the best way of handling this matter is referring it back to the Committee ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have just given directions in relation to maize under Question No.2 by Private Notice. We have just heard the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, representing the Prime Minister on this Question say that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) has concluded investigations. The issues they have come up with include weakness in institutional structures of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). There was no evidence of criminal nature. Who is telling the truth to this House and Kenyans on the status of maize investigations? view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that once the design is ready, they will fund the rehabilitation works. I just want to know whether the Ministry has taken a survey across the country to establish the status of Road Classes “A”, “B” and “C”, in terms of prioritising. Do you really do so? Do you have any such plans in the coming financial year? view
