• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: farmers. Now, when you move around Trans Nzoia District, the dams that are remaining are less than 10 per cent of the original number. That is because the equipment that was used in those dams has not been looked after. They have silted and nobody has done anything about it. So, I am asking the Ministry, as much as we want to conserve water, we must have a plan of August 22, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3401 maintaining dams which the Government has used money to build. We should also build more dams. By so doing, we shall have an opportunity ... view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard you right, Sir, and I agree with you. But the same Standing Order 42 continues to say:- "Provided that a Motion to rescind the decision of such a question may be moved with the permission of Mr. Speaker." Therefore, we cannot predict the future. The Speaker may give permission on request, when the August 16, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3257 time comes. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to support this Motion for Adjournment. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all know that we have a General Election this year. This is going to give us time to check on our progress in our respective constituencies. We have built many projects through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We want to make sure that these projects are complete before our enemies start using them as a way of getting to Parliament. There is also need for us to get together with our supporters to organise how we can get to the next year being sure that we will be re- elected. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ... view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think my colleague got me wrong. I did not say that, that is the reason we are going on recess. I said that it is a worrying issue. I said that it worries me to see so many Kenyans dying and yet we have the machinery in place to stop that. I have advocated for some military intervention in Mt. Elgon. If we can have some of our young soldiers going to this area to assist in roads construction, supply of water and building schools that have been damaged, this will act as a deterrent ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also brought a Question on this matter; about the Government, the Ministry, in particular, and the Directorate of Veterinary Services, specifically, to decide on what type of acaricides should be used. The Minister decided that my people could use acaricides which they think are effectively killing the ticks. But is he aware that his officers in Kapsabet have defied that order and are arresting my people who have decided to use synthetic pyrethroid, which is the effective acaricide in our areas? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that the audited accounts of Moi Sirgoi High School for the years 1998/1999 indicate that an amount of Kshs990,380 was misappropriated by the then headmaster; (b) whether he is further aware that to date, the money is still unaccounted for; and, (c) when he will cause the then headmaster to be charged with the offence 3176 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 15, 2007 of "theft by servant" or any other appropriate charge. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I asked the same Question - Question No.504 - which was answered on 5th October, 2006. The answer was signed by Dr. Wekesa, who was then the Minister for Education. In part (d) of the Question, the answer reads:- "Investigations and audit exercise carried out by the Ministry revealed misappropriation of funds and abuse of office by the headmaster and the BOG members. Disciplinary action has been instituted against them. The former headmaster has already been interdicted. Consequently, the BOG and the headmaster will soon be summoned for the hearing and determination of the offence." It ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that action will be taken and I believe him. But I want to say that, rather than talk about KANU, I was a member of the Nandi District Education Board, when we were still under one district. I was a Member of Parliament then, while he was not. I informed the police in 1998. We also went in 1999 with the PTA members. Can he specify now when these men who stole these funds, will be arrested and charged in a court of law under the relevant law? view
