• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, on the face of it, the whole answer is generalized. In part “a” (ii) of his reply, he talks about “excavated 48 water pans”. It does not talk about the names and where they are located because he was specific. In part “a” (iii) which are the permanent canals that they have built? As you are aware, northern Kenya has been reduced to a permanent recipient of bad relief food since 1969 and that is almost close to 40 years. The Government has attempted to address ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in essence, it means that this Assistant Minister was not prepared to answer this Question because you cannot just give a generalized statement to Parliament and expect to get away with it. The Assistant Minister says they excavated 48 pans but he does not have the specifics, plus we are only given a figure. The same happens to the permanent canal. So, would I be right to request view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be unfair if we go by what the Assistant Minister has said. He said that he has the information but he did not come with it. Therefore, today and tomorrow morning should be enough for him to come up with an answer to be delivered to the House tomorrow afternoon. Tuesday will be too late. Would I be in order to ask him to come and answer the Question tomorrow afternoon since he has already alluded to the fact that he has the answer in his office? view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a known fact that for the last 49 years, all the successive regimes of the Government have been giving the same answer – that they were consulting, looking for donors and doing the design. I thought, as a country, we have moved away from this kind of hypocrisy. Development is now the right of every Kenyan. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for now, I will respect that suggestion. When is the Government going to fund the carpeting of that very important road, linking Isiolo with Garissa, Wajir, Moyale, Somalia and Ethiopia; from the national Budget, just as it has done for a number of other critical roads? view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my good friend, hon. Bett, to mislead Kenyans and this House that he has just received a “no objection” letter from donors for the construction of the Garissa-Modogashe Road? In 2010, the entire leadership of Northern Kenya visited His Excellency the President, who told us that the contract for the construction of that road would be advertised in less than two months’ time but two years later, nothing has happened. Is he in order to mislead Kenyans when we know that the funds for that particular road have been diverted ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to give notice of the following Motion under Standing Order No.23(1) to seek leave to move the Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent national importance. THAT, this House do now adjourn to discuss the escalating insecurity in Tana River, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Turkana, Isiolo and other affected areas which have left many innocent Kenyans maimed, hundreds dead and thousands homeless. view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.5. A few minutes ago, I gave notice under Standing Order No.23 (1). Since then, I have realized that the hon. Member for Bura, Dr. Nuh, had given a Substantive Motion on the same to the House Business Committee and since this is a very serious national issue, I wish to withdraw mine and allow Dr. Nuh to present his Motion to the House Business Committee today hoping that it will be approved so that the Substantive Motion which covers all aspects of insecurity in ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Will I be right to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to hold on because we have a number of clarifications to seek after he has made the Statement? view
