• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion of Adjournment. It is time we go to our constituencies and do the monitoring and evaluation of the projects that have been implemented. It is time we went and started planning and listening to our people and their problems so that when we come in the next Session, we will be able to address effectively, the problems of our people. I want to speak on the issue of change in this country because change is a must. Even if ... view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is true that disafforestation has caused a disaster in this area, particularly downstream in some of the constituencies like mine. Part of the problem is caused by commercial farmers and others who tap water from the streams in this area without authority. What has the Ministry done to ensure that the use of water is regulated in this area? view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid the question? The question is very clear. Now that they have no specific policy and they can do nothing about the Treasury’s delay, why can the Assistant Minister not pay the teachers until they are paid by the Treasury in accordance with the law? Why is the Assistant Minister avoiding what has been provided for in the law? view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very interesting scenario. The airstrip in Habaswein was constructed by this same Ministry. I believe soil investigations and other technical matters were done at that particular time. How come the Ministry is now saying that the place is not suitable any more for the construction of an airstrip? view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) How many incidents have been reported on Isiolo-Modogashe Road between June and September 2009, following security breach caused by bandits? (b) What action has the Government taken to deal with this menace? view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very major road where supplies from Isiolo to the rest of the northern Kenya go through. From the Assistant Minister’s answer, which is not exhaustive, it looks like this road has now become impossible for anyone to operate on. Why can the Ministry not go to the root cause of the problem, instead of addressing the symptoms, and follow up these bandits, as it is a very small area, and completely eliminate this problem? view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this a very serious matter! In a span of three months, there have been so many incidents, and you can see the way the Assistant Minister has casually attended to this Question. The people in Isiolo cannot be involved in tackling that problem, because they are victims of this problem; so, the Assistant Minister’s approach is wrong in the first instance. Could the Assistant Minister take this matter seriously, and ensure that the people of Isiolo are safe from this menace? The Ministry is handling this matter in a very casual manner. view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that they were unable to pay the former employees just because the matter is in court when it took a long time, between the time the employees were declared redundant and the time they went to court? They only went to court as a last resort. Why is he misleading the House? view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Prime Minister for that elaborate Statement. However, in view of the fact that one of the key functions of the EMU is systems audit and the one of the Inspectorate of State Corporations is management audit, why can the Prime Minister not consider merging the two functions for purposes of efficiency? view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very important Bill. I thought that the relevant Ministry and Leader of Government Business should be represented here. view
