• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s response, but they seem to have a data that is obsolete, in terms of information, exist. Habaswein or Wajir South district has three secondary schools. They have a total number of 671 students as we speak and I have a copy of a paper initially provided by the Ministry of Education giving us the Kshs187,000 with an enrollment of only 380 students from my constituency. That money has not been distributed to date. I want to ask the Assistant Minister to tell us how we are going to share Kshs187,000 against ... view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to address the question of disparity even within the same region. As I speak, we have 200 students out of the 600 students who have applied for this bursary. Could the Assistant Minister consider allocating more money? The Kshs187,000 is not enough. Many of our students are not only in Wajir South, but the greater Wajir District which we initially shared. Could he consider increasing the allocation, at least, to something closer to what we used to get, so that we can have the needy students benefiting? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We know that the CDF has allocations for bursary. I, personally, use mine for tertiary institutions and universities. We have to benefit from the Ministry. I am asking him to tell us by how much he can increase the allocation he gave us. Is he in order not to address the actual question and somehow divert our attention to CDF, which they constantly do as Ministers? view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know that funds are never enough in Government circles. It is important that the Government seeks funding even from development partners. Time and again, we hear them say that they are looking for money from development partners. The financial year 2010/2011 is another time altogether. Could they consider looking for funding from development partners, so that they can fund such important facilities? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time we have been promised that the Government is going to have elaborate strategies to deal with this serious issue of drought. I hope that this time round, they will walk the talk. My main item is actually on the livestock off-take through the KMC. Hon. Prime Minster, this has not been very useful. You allocated Kshs500 million last time, but I do not really understand where it went. My first advice would be to channel these funds through the Ministry of State for the Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid ... view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Prime Minister for his very good response. When I raised the issue of money being channeled to the KMC, I said that has not been very useful. When it is channeled to the Arid Lands Resource Management Project or the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands, livestock can be purchased directly from farmers or pastoralists. They can in turn hand over to the KMC for processing either for local consumption or even outside. So, I wanted the Prime Minister to somehow address the ... view

• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that Ministers have to keep on defending positions which cannot be maintained. view
