• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of interest on the money that has not been disbursed is very crucial. I think Mr. Rotino raised it. The Assistant Minister has tended to avoid that. We want to see prudent management. Over Kshs350 million is lying in a bank and you are not telling us what kind of contract you have with that bank! Are you serious? view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank hon. Karaba for bringing this Motion and giving me an opportunity to second it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the spirit of this Motion because it is true that there is quite a sizeable population of Kenyans who do not have access to quality education. The whole Motion is worded with the issue of access, quality, equity; these are the things that this Motion intends to address. I would like to start, perhaps, by saying that education is a must for everybody. That is the spirit in ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate this Ministry for the way it has handled its assignment. I think it stands out as a shining example. But I would like the Ministry to do even better by, perhaps, looking into the issue of audits in schools. If the Ministry is able to do that perfectly and make sure that the resources are utilized properly, I have no doubt that, it will, with a lot of ease - hands-down- be able to provide free secondary education. Finally, I would like the Minster to look into the ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the same vein, the issue of the tender was raised by hon. Raila, so that the tender documents could be properly scrutinised by the House. Could the Assistant Minister bring his own analysis on the same? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Vote of the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to underscore the significance of this Ministry in trying to create the right environment for economic activities in this country. We know quite well that without security and order, no activity can take place in this country. That is how fundamental this Ministry is. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must hasten to add that this Ministry has a gigantic task to accomplish. ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Could I be protected because there are loud consultations from the other side? I thought the Minister will listen to us. We should go further than that and hear from the people whether they are satisfied with those services. Even public hearings will be all right. In certain instances, particularly for the muslim community--- In every community, there are criminals. But the manner in which criminals or suspects in the muslim community have been handled is not right. It has been indiscriminate. It is sweeping everybody. The moment you have a kanzu and a long beard, you are considered a ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had a conference in Mombasa on the preparation of the necessary policy, and all the input was given there. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has gone round all the zones in this country. They have got input even from the local community. If that is true, could the Attorney-General and the Ministry consult, and with speed? For some us, this Bill is very important! They should bring it to this House, so that we can finalise this matter. In fact, if they over-consult now they are going to spoil it. view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with hon. Wetangula, that this is July 10, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2381 a very serious and fundamental matter to the lives of Kenyans. This is a very serious allegation, which this House, being a representative of the people, cannot afford to take very lightly. In addition to the Minister, I suggest that this matter, also, gets the attention of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, so that it can unearth the truth, because the whole issue of banking is about confidence. This serious allegation that has been made can bring down this ... view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Attorney-General:- (a) whether he is aware that the late Guyo Abdi Buke and Somo Kinto Torotora were shot and killed by Kenya Army personnel in Garba Tulla on 24th July, 1999; (b) whether he is further aware that Inquest No.21 of 2001 at CMC, Meru, concluded that the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), Garba-Tulla and several army officers be investigated further; and, (c) what action he has taken to ensure that investigations are carried out and the culprits dealt with in accordance with the law. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this answer is very disappointing. A court sat and gave directives in 2001 and the Attorney-General is saying that he is "now aware". In part (a), he says: "Yes, I am aware". In part (b), he says: "I am now aware". This means that I am the one who is making him aware. The court gave directions for further investigations to be carried out. Could the Attorney-General tell us why he has not carried out those investigations properly since April, 2003? view
