• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, well, for your information, we have various numbers which are working. If he is not aware of them, I will give them in a short while. But I want to tell him that we may have had our own weaknesses in the past, but the policy which I have just tabled will take care of all those weaknesses, and disaster response will be efficiently handled. view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question. For his information, we are looking at the scenario in the whole country, and not specifically in Turkana or any other particular place. I want to assure the hon. Member that the Government is taking this matter very seriously. We have already factored in our Budget funds for procurement of equipment, so that we will effectively respond to disasters whenever they occur anywhere in the country and not only in Turkana. view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have requisitioned for quite a number of them and hon. Members will do us a lot of service if we joined hands in requesting Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance to give us enough funds so that we can do the purchases whenever the services are required. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Mover for giving me two minutes. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: When we talk about marginalisation of Kenya and other ASAL parts of this country, I thought I would get a few minutes to expound on what I felt I should put on record, because I feel that the marginalisation of these areas is rather legendary. Successive governments, both colonial and Independent Kenya Governments have kept this region in a state of perpetual neglect, leading them to score poorly in all known parameters of human development. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, 46 years after Independence, it is shameful to note that these regions are home to illiteracy, poverty and disease. These are three vices which the Government pledged to eradicate through publication of Sessional Paper No.1 of 1965. To date, as you very well realise, it is easier to reach Kampala by road, as it takes only a couple of hours, than to reach parts of northern Kenya like Moyale, in which case one takes two days to reach there. This is shameful. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: It equally takes a shorter time to reach the capital city of Tanzania from Nairobi by road, and yet, we take several days reaching parts of this country. This is like a plan to deliberately leave these parts of the country behind. We need not less than a marshal plan to bring this region at par with the rest of the country. We note the Government's efforts to tarmac the road from Isiolo to Moyale. However, the Government is doing this rather too late. We can do better than that, as a Government. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need the model of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) to develop these regions. We need to go out of our way to uplift this region. We should provide some funds, as suggested in the Bomas of Kenya Draft Constitution. In fact, even the Wako Draft Constitution suggested some funds to be provided specifically for these areas. We do not need anything less than such action. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The creation of the Ministry of Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Areas becomes a big joke when we do not fund it. We appreciate the Government's effort in creating that Ministry, but the Kshs400 million that has been allocated to it in the current financial year is what the Kenya Army uses for training at Archers Post. So, we need proper funding for that Ministry in order for this dream development to be realised. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
