15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, we are employing, as a Ministry. The Public Service Commission (PSC) is doing that. I think all hon. Members know the process and procedure 2726 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 15, 2008 that go with the recruitment and employment by the PSC. But I want to tell the hon. Member that, yes, there was the PPR and, as we speak here today, both the private sector, public sector, Kenya Veterinary Association, Kenya Veterinary Board, private veterinarians as well as the Government's veterinarians are in the field in the eight blocks in this country and, so far, we ...

15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, we have a time-frame. The shortlisting is being done by the PSC, which is outside our Ministry. I will tell the hon. Member that, yes, very soon, within the next one month, you will see new staff at our Ministry. As for the Rift Valley Fever, I think I have outlined, strategically, the steps that we are taking. I did that initially when I started to answer this Question.

15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to disagree with the hon. Member. If you are a Member of Parliament, and you are from a livestock breeding area, you have business with the Ministry of Livestock Development. He is a leader who is at the policy-making level. He sits in this House. The Budget and the National Livestock Policy will be tabled. Having said that, I would like to inform the hon. Member that all our correspondence with the Ministry of Finance, in terms of raising our Budget ceiling, has already been done.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that 54 families - and not 57 - were relocated to create room for the establishment of a sheep and goats breeding project. (b) My Ministry is making arrangements to compensate the affected families for their crops and temporary shelter. So far, Kshs680,000 has been earmarked to compensate the affected families in this financial year. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, we are giving a lot of attention to the livestock sector. But, at the same time, we are giving attention to the human beings. But the livelihoods of those people--- The breeding system in this country is also very important. But I want to tell the hon. Member that, as a Ministry, we only have Kshs680,000 this financial year. In that line, we are 2444 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2008 compensating for the permanent crops that were lost. Those are mangoes, pawpaws, bananas and the temporary thatched houses. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have earlier stated, Kshs680,000 has been earmarked for the 54 families who were illegally occupying Government land meant for expansion and development of breeding system. This what we have got this financial year. But I can assure the Member that we will visit the area to see for ourselves and we will discuss it further.

2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel honoured to stand in this House today and make a contribution. Today is a sad day as well as a very good day for this country. It is a sad day, because we are discussing issues concerning public resources. We are discussing issues similar to Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing scams. We are discussing this issue at a time when this country needs resources. We are discussing this issue at a time when this country is on the path of healing and reconciliation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today is a good in this country because ...

2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we even need to move a Motion to extend this debate, so that we give to Kenyans the answers they need at the end of the day. I was saying that we must respect the laws that we pass. We must not create a culture of impunity. We must set an agenda. We must set a pace such that when an aspersion is cast on a Member of the Cabinet, he steps aside and gives way for investigations to be carried out. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to set a precedent. We want the Tenth ...

1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not need to look at the mood in this House. We need to look at the mood in the country, which is more important than this House.

1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
The mood in this country concerns the Grand Regency Hotel, the Treasury and, more so, the Minister for Finance. I think it is more important for the Chair to make a ruling on the greatest issue of the Financial Statement, that this House should go on to the next Motion.
