• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every other day, the public health people push hawkers around that place because there is no market that has been set up. This is a very common phenomenon in those trading centres. It is only that, perhaps, this Assistant Minister is looking for the common buses. The type of buses that we have in that place are pick-ups and so on. I am sure that the Chair is very much aware of that fact. My people cannot afford to wait for the Assistant Minister to conduct physical planning and all that! They want to continue with ... view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating Mr. Oloo-Aringo for bringing this very crucial Motion. Certainly we have a lot of praise for the attempt to bring free education in this country. It is a good move. I do request that the quality aspects are not compromised. Otherwise, we will be dealing with a completely different product. I do support the President's promise that, perhaps, in January, tuition fees will be waived. At the same time I would like the Ministry to be vigilant and ensure that other forms of levies are ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It appears as if Muslims are worse than fish, because fish are protected by law. When you want to fish, you have to use certain types of 1110 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 3, 2007 nets. The action which has been taken is indiscriminate; rounding up the whole village. What evidence is there that there are high level terrorists other than, perhaps, what the Assistant Minister is saying; that this gentleman who is the Imam is not a Kenyan. All this, including the identity card, are still suspicions. Could he tell us what the results of ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the measures the Assistant Minister has enumerated are not new. Those measures were there even when I was at the university. Could he tell us exactly how effective have those measures been? Only 30 per cent of that number qualify to join public universities. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he could confirm that survey and design work on Isiolo-Modogashe Road (B9) has been completed; and, (b) when this important road will be upgraded to bitumen standards. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important road, and I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, although he has taken quite a long time to conclude this matter of survey and design. In the meantime, could the Assistant Minister inform the House how much money he will allocate to ensure that this road is motorable? view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Billow, in his supplementary question, raised a very important issue. He said that a donor had agreed to tarmack that road. That has to do with the 592 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 12, 2007 livelihood of our people. Would I be in order, through you, to ask that this Question be deferred because the Assistant Minister is not even sure of the donor? view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to table this document because it is very important! view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that roads in that part of the country have been neglected because of the way allocations have been done in the past. That is a fact. The Government promised to construct those roads in two years after it took over the running of this country. But now, its time is up. When does the Assistant Minister intend to upgrade that road to bitumen standards? Could he give a commitment? view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I want to be very brief, because there are many hon. Members who want to contribute due to their interest in this subject. I want to start by thanking Mr. Khamisi for bringing this Motion to the House, because its subject involves the livelihoods of many Kenyans. It is one of those fundamental things that we have been looking forward to in terms of turning around the economy of this country. I want to thank him, once again, for listing me down as one of the Members of ... view
