• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will take two minutes. I do not want to dwell much on what the Minister has said about the Police Reform Bill, the Private Security Service Providers Bill and the many challenges the Ministry is facing despite the good work it is doing, more so in the area that I come from. I want this Ministry to focus on one area that has been an issue in this country, namely, the border between Kenya and Somalia and the emergence of the Al Shabaab militants. For a long time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand here to support Vote 07, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: From the onset, I want to congratulate hon. Kenyatta and his team for a job well done. I have said it even last year that it is under the leadership of the current Minister for Finance that many remote parts of this country have felt equitable distribution of resources across the board. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the figures given by the Minister are very encouraging; a GDP growth of four to six per cent in 2010/2011; a reduced public expenditure; a reduced domestic borrowing, and above all, increasing the private sector participation. These are very key indicators for a growing economy like ours. I want to thank hon. Kenyatta for rising to the expectation of this House and the country as a whole. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support Vote 31 for the Ministry of Education. On the outset, I want to commend the Minister and his team. Recently they went to northern Kenya. They went to every district and talked to all the stakeholders in education. I want to ask other Ministers in the Grand Coalition Government to follow suit. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think in education we must address key issues like access to education, equity, quality of education and relevance of education. I want to borrow from what is happening in northern Kenya. All these ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to second and support the Motion to adopt Vote 49 - Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. I will not go deep into the matters because the figures speak for themselves. The Minister has said that immunization figures have increased from 57 per cent in 2008 to 77 per cent. We have seen increased capacity in terms of health centers. We have figures of reduced malnutrition of children under five years. Under the Economic Stimulus Programme, we have seen the establishment of health centers and recruitment of staff. I want ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need your direction. Hon. Nanok sits in the Cabinet. He has taken an oath as an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Wildlife and Forestry. We have taken an oath to uphold the Cabinet responsibility. We need your direction on this matter that a Cabinet Minister cannot criticise his own Government that he represents. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are not talking about the Report per se. The Assistant Minister alleged, and if he feels that that is not contrary, then he could withdraw, that the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is doing a PR exercise and that it is not serving the people it is intended to serve. We have a problem with that statement. So, we are seeking the Chair’s direction. If it is possible, the Assistant Minister should withdraw that statement. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation is very important, particularly to where I come from. That is why today I felt I must not be left behind when the Vote of this very important Ministry comes to this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the people of northern Kenya, whom I represent, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, and all the water services boards are very crucial. On the outset, I want to thank the Minister and her able team, led by the Permanent Secretary (PS), for ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: I would also like to name and thank, on behalf of the people of Dujis and northern Kenya, a number of international organizations that supported the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and Northern Water Board to supply water and help the Ministry to fulfill its mandate. Among these is Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) that did a major sewerage plant in my constituency in collaboration with the Government. The others are Swedish Government and Care International through the ... view
