• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. Sometime when Siad Barre became the President of Somalia, many of his people did not have any secular education. The majority of them, about 90 per cent, were illiterate. Those who were opposed to his rule were educated to western standards. Compared to his people, they were civilisations ahead.

• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Projects undertaken by the Constituency Development Committees are not usually included in my Ministry's budget proposal and therefore, part of the CDF funds are used to facilitate provision of technical services provided by my Ministry's technical staff.

• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: We do not have a provision in the line Ministry for projects that are in the CDF. We have provisions in the line Ministry for projects that are implemented by the Ministry. When an officer goes to the field to carry out a hydrological survey for the CDF, he needs fuel. If he is required to stay out for that particular night, he will need a night out. There is a circular that states--- view

• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not denying the fact that the CDF is the paying officers some allowances. Mr. Gitau is saying that these officers have been working for 10 days and they were paid. I agree with him that, that is what the CDF is supposed to do. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I abide by your instructions but I request that this Question, considering the fact that it goes beyond this particular Ministry, be referred to the Ministry of Finance. view
