• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as to how many districts, I am afraid it is off head. All of them are here and are tabulated. I will table this comprehensive summary of all the districts benefiting from relief food. The Member can go through it and find out the number of districts from this list. If I go through it, that will take a bit of the hon. Members’ time which I do not want to waste. On how to know the needy; as I have just said when answering the previous question, we have assessments done in the country twice in ... view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that it is not only Nyatike. Indeed, we are looking at the whole country. However, I can assure you that Migori has already been looked into. It is in our data and we shall continue supporting it as the hon. Member has requested, alongside all other needy and deserving cases in the country. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not very clear about what the hon. Member has asked. For sure, if any part of this country has been getting relief food, then the need must be even more now. So, there is no way we can remove that part of the country from the register of recipients. What might have happened is to consolidate relief distribution and management. Liaising at the county level might be the case, otherwise, I can guarantee him that, that part of the country will, definitely, continue getting relief food, if it has been getting relief food even before. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Member for Lari for that genuine concern. Indeed, the issue of relief food being mismanaged by some officers who are entrusted with the distribution of the same to the needy is a concern even to the Ministry. Following some reports, a secretariat has been set up to specifically monitor efficient distribution of relief food to the nation. Stern action will be taken against any person caught mishandling relief food. No mercy should be expected because it is a very sad situation if those entrusted with feeding the needy resort to stealing from the ... view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member listened carefully, he will note that I said that we will deal with them effectively and no mercy will be expected. We will take them to court. As the hon. Member has seen, some officers have already been arraigned in court. If he has any report – he has insinuated that some people could be doing the same in his constituency – please, bring that information forward. The hon. Member should start with the police in his constituency, bring the same report to the Ministry and we shall deal with them effectively. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, food for Nyatike for this month, alongside the other affected areas, is being disbursed and logistics are being put in place to ensure that every part of the country gets food in good time. So, I can assure the hon. Member that when relief food will be disbursed to other parts of the country, so will be the one for Nyatike. Therefore, he should not worry at all. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that I was giving the hon. Member a blanket answer that involves the whole nation. However, I would like to tell him that in the course of next week, every part of the country will get relief food. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to impute improper motive on Ministers travels? view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he said that it is not enough that Ministers just travel to get allowances. We actually went to Ethiopia and discussed this particular issue to a satisfactory conclusion, in our opinion and it is still ongoing. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to say that we went to Ethiopia for allowances yet we did serious bilateral negotiations on many issues is imputing improper motive. view
