• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House that the Bill against circumcision is about culture, while this House passed an Act on children protection which criminalises circumcision? Was the hon. Member not in the House at that time? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the roof of Mulanjo Primary School in Bura Constituency was blown off by wind in January, 2006. However, I am aware that on Saturday, 29th October, 2005, a strong wind blew off the roofs of two classrooms, the office block, books and food stores at Mulanjo Primary School, and that nobody was injured. (b) The Ministry has allocated Kshs10,800 to Mulanjo Primary School through the Repairs, Maintenance and Improvement Vote Head, of 2004/2005 Financial Year, and a further Kshs7,434 as the first tranche of the 2005/2006 ... view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the hon. Member's concern. This is the money that we give to every primary school in the country. We have 18,000 primary schools in the country. I would like my colleagues to appreciate the fact that under the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) there is an emergency fund which should be used for such small repairs. All the money that is used has to be budgeted for. The Ministry has not budgeted for these small repairs. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that the Ministry has money to do repairs in schools. We disburse this money to every primary school every year for repairs. However, education is a partnership between the local communities, the leaders and the Government. Whereas the Ministry buys all the instructional materials, we request leaders to support small repairs in schools. Indeed, the Government has disbursed money for such repairs through the Emergency Vote of the CDF. view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if hon. Members consulted quietly, then we could hear the questions. As I said, the Ministry of Education is part of the Government. We depend on the Budget that is passed by this very House. The CDF has emergency funds to cater for such emergencies. You do not expect the Ministry to do each and every repair in schools. We would wish to do those repairs, but it is not possible. The moment funds are available, we shall use them for that purpose. The money that we are allocated in the Budget cannot take care of ... view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been rehabilitating many schools in every district. We also have a programme to rehabititate schools which we hope to commence very soon. However, the schools to be rehabilitated are already tabulated. If you check in your constituency, you will see which schools have been earmarked for that. The Bura District Education Officer requested Kshs140,000 for this particular school. The school will receive top priority as soon as funds are available. view

• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also like to thank the hon. Assistant Minister for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which I support fully. I would like to thank the Ministry of Finance, and Kenyans in general, for feeding all the millions of starving Kenyans. In the same breadth, I understand that money has to come from somewhere. That is why reductions in some Ministries were absolutely necessary. We cannot support the feeding of million of starving Kenyans on the one hand, and bash the Government on the other hand for reducing the Development Votes. ... view
