Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will realise that the kind of receipts most councils use can easily be forged. What action is this Minister going to take, like the Department of Immigration has done at the airports, to ensure that the receipts that councils issue are not forged, and they can be properly accounted for?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since he did a good job, I want to thank Mr. Munyes, the hon. Member for Turkana North, for having responded very well at the time that we needed him to do so. However, I would like the Minister to clarify because he brought in the issue of Red Cross and the DC yet we are talking about flooding. What kind of equipment and resources are available to the Emergency Disaster Centre in Nairobi for them to make rapid response to this matter? On that particular day, I went to the Emergency Disaster Centre and it ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Would I be in order, through the Chair, to ask the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who is also the Leader of Government Business, to ensure that he gets a list of the Ministers who do not answer Questions, so that, that can actually count in determing their level of performance, hence whether they should be dropped, as Mr. Bifwoli has suggested?

asked the Minister for Transport:- (a) whether he is aware that Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is closed for business during certain public holidays to allow Kenya Air Force jets perform the fly-past to mark the celebrations; and, (b) whether he could consider cancellation of the above activity to enable the airport remain open for business at all times.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am disappointed with the answer because it is full of contradictions. One paragraph contradicts the other. On the one hand, he has said that the airport is closed for a short time and, on the the other, he has said that activities continue. The main activity at the airport is flying. JKIA is the main airport in this country and Kenya, being a very poor country--- I do not think the answer given by the Assistant Minister is sufficient. My question is: If the airlines are advised in good time, why are there mid-air diversions ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know this Government was elected on the platform of change and in this answer what you see is that this has been going on over years which is an indication that they are not ready for change or they have run out of ideas. Could the Assistant Minister consider relocating that activity to elsewhere, where it will be safe for airlines to continue flying to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) since this is a poor country and we cannot afford to let planes circle in the air for the fifteen minutes or more time that ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 6th April, I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in the Office of the President in charge of Special Programmes concerning a very serious matter of floods in my constituency. I have not heard from him up to now and yet this is the third time I have raised this matter here.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of lack of motor vehicles for District Officers and the police has come up in this House, time and again, for the last four years. This House had approved, on several occasions, funds for purchase of vehicles for District Officers and the police. Promises have been made but no vehicles have been delivered to officers who require them on the ground, particularly to officers in remote and insecurity-prone areas. Could the Assistant Minister, for purposes of transparency, undertake to provide to this House a list of the vehicles, once he finally decides to allocate them ...
