• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I do respect your position on the matter, I strongly feel that the Assistant Minister has failed to answer the specific bits of the Question. Because of the Government’s poor planning, we are not able to help Kenyans. Can the Assistant Minister be specific; he is not being specific. Is he in order not to be very specific and tell us that once the tender is completed, we should be able to serve Kenyans even at regional levels and to decentralize this process? Kenyans have suffered! So, he has not ... view
• 25 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support it. It is the second time in this particular term that we are facing this issue. It is because of problems facing political parties and not individual hon. Members. As those who have spoken before me said, there are problems in the various parties. But those problems should not override all other national interests. I would also attribute it to problems within the larger membership of the Coalition Government. I think Kenyans have more important issues to address. They include drought, ... view
• 25 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just as a follow up to what Mr. Mwangi has asked, if you listened keenly to Mr. Mungatana when he asked a question on when that by pass would be done, the Assistant Minister said that they were going to source for funds next year. The Ministry not only delays in doing the feasibility studies, but it also delays in seeking funds even from donors, let alone the Government. So, what will the Ministry do to source funds from willing donors? There are donors all over who are ready to support the Government only that there ... view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is addressing the Question very causally; probably he would have understood fish more than cattle. But, I would want to ask him a question: I would want to tell the Assistant Minister that it is not only about cattle rustling, there are deep issues which are prevalent in a number of regions in this country. Can the Assistant Minister tell us how they are addressing these bigger problems which affect the Samburu and Pokot areas and the country in general because establishing an Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ATSU) is not enough? Can he ... view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize, if I have imputed improper motive. view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: I withdraw, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Minister for his very good response that has shed a lot of light on what is happening. It is going to be unfortunate if individuals heading parastals will be removed just because someone does not want their presence, or because of some matters which Ministers are not privy to, including this one. There are institutions including the Inspectorate of State Corporations that deal with parastatals. This is not a security matter. Many times we hear people telling us of security matters; that they are not supposed to be known to ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has addressed this problem very casually. I neighbour Isiolo South, and what is happening lately is not something we can take lightly, not only in Isiolo South, but also in the larger Isiolo District, and the environs. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House whether they have a concrete plan--- They are quick enough to finish people when they want to do so, but very slow when they want problems to continue. Can he tell us of concrete steps, and in what period, by which they will be able to stop this ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) when a physical planner will be posted to Wajir South District to facilitate planning and survey; and, (b) what stop-gap measures he is taking to ensure good planning of the district. view
