• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member and accept that the amount of money that was pronounced is not sufficient to handle those serious situations. However, we, as the Ministry coordinating the disaster, have had a sitting with the relevant Ministry of Water and Irrigation and impressed upon them that they need to put in place more serious measures. As such, they have come up with a programme to address each and every area. They have mobilized water boozers to several districts. They have also mobilized a team that will attend to all boreholes that experience breakdown. In ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, under the Western Kenya Community driven projects, with funding from the World Bank, a lot of progress has been made. However, that programme went into a hitch when some audit queries were raised. Those queries have since been addressed. It has now received due attention and we are only awaiting a word from the World Bank, so that the programme can get back on track. However, a lot of progress has been made. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about these projects because I know what is happening. I know the progress which has been made. These are funds which have already been availed and put into good use. We have made enough consultations and the World Bank is ready to give us a green light to restart those projects. That is not the only course of action the Government will take. We have also set up a team to come up with an alternative measure we will take as a Government, so that the Disaster Response Centre comes up with a ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it saddens me to tackle this bit of the Question, especially when it touches on the lives of Kenyans. It also affects my people. Where I come from, we are equally severely hit alongside several other districts in the country. I want to confirm to the Members that, indeed, this is a serious situation. As to the number of deaths, I want to be sincere with you that it has been reported that two people have died elsewhere in the country. We could not confirm, as a Government, that those two deaths were related to hunger. ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you must have read some reports sometimes even touching on my area, but I can confirm that nobody died from hunger in Moyale. People rely on newspapers which sometimes are not accurate. I want to confirm that the situation is serious. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not relying on newspapers. The Members should not rely on newspaper reports. Those deaths are not hunger related, but from other causes. That is why we could not put it on paper. In response to the other part of the Question which asks how much money has been set aside by the Government, we have put aside Kshs5.5 billion to address the current drought. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in seconding the amendment to this Motion, I want to state a few things. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just a few minutes ago, you stated that these are extra ordinary times. Extra ordinary times require extra ordinary leadership. We have been debating this matter time and again. Indeed, we had a Kamukunji in this Chamber a couple of weeks ago and subsequently, had a discussion with the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. In this Report, we submitted very clearly areas where we felt really needed to be addressed by the Commission to be set up. As it is, if we are not going to amend this Report as proposed and define the ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I do not see it in the Report of our honourable Commission, I did a written submission to it on behalf of the Upper Eastern region and my own constituency, Moyale. I do not know why they have not acknowledged that. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think you will guide me. In seconding amendments to Motions, do we not express our feelings? view
