• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 42 (a) (5), I rise to ask Question No. 28 by Private Notice to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education: (i) In view of the recent notification that schools and colleges will be re-opening next week, what measures has the Ministry put in place to protect pupils and students from the spread of COVID-19 virus? (ii) Does the Ministry plan to provide essential items, such as water tanks for washing hands, face masks, sanitizers, and social distancing protocols among others to public schools and colleges, especially for pupils ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to seek for your indulgence on Question No.186/2020 asked by Hon. Aisha Jumwa. It is written here as Hon. Aisha Juma, but the correct name is Hon. Aisha Jumwa. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I know her very well, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want your indulgence because I have been a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and from the Presidential Order, this project that Hon. Aisha Jumwa was asking about, namely, the Galana-Kulalu Project, was at one point under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Co-Operatives, but as we speak, the State Department of Irrigation is under the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation. I was just seeking your indulgence if maybe this Question may have been referred to a wrong Committee, so that it is redirected to the correct committee, which is ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A Statement sought in this House becomes a property of the House. Therefore, whether Hon. Haika is satisfied or not, we need to raise supplementary questions. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. On measures that have been taken by the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife to curb the fires, they have not been clearly articulated by the Chairman. All the measures enumerated here, including collaborating with the community, the Army and “Kazi kwa Vijana” are not under their department yet they raise a lot of revenue out of tourism. What are they doing as a department, on their own, to help fire fighters who are under their command? Whatever they have given as measures here are clearly not under them. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Quickly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Malulu Injendi for bringing this Petition. view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: As I heard Hon. Malulu go through the issues that are in West Kenya, I was wondering what, as a country, we are doing about the Sugar Taskforce Report. Has the Report been implemented? We keep on spending money to bring out reports that we eventually do not implement. Therefore, as I thank Hon. Malulu, I really pray that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will actually do proper fact-finding because there are even other issues about sugar harvesting that Hon. Malulu has not mentioned. However, my biggest question that I want to raise in this House is ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me congratulate the current Chairman of the NG-CDF and quickly point out that in his Report, he has given us 13 constituencies that got their allocations and 277 constituencies that did not get the allocations. I think he needs to move further and tell us how many of the 277 constituencies that did not get the allocations had requested for and qualified to get the allocations. This is because these are two different stories. This is coming up at a time when there is an aspect of preferential treatment even in allocation of county ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: This was very important. I also want to add my voice to the issue because we have already finished budgeting for the 2020/2021 financial year. I want to find out from the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee how we handled the money that has not been paid to the constituencies. Is it under pending bills? We need to be told how they will pay this money. As far as we are concerned, this is money that has already been budgeted for but has not been disbursed. view
