• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Sorry, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have amended the last sentence of the Motion by deleting the words:- "With a minimum of three divisions to every district across the board". Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I wish to say that this is a very important Motion. The intention and objective of this Motion is that this country is developing very fast and some constituencies in this country will be left behind very much if we continue to dish out districts on the roadside as it is today. There is no Act or legislation governing the creation or abolition ... view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are some points that I do not want to miss. Therefore, I have to refer to the notes that I had already written. I do not want to miss anything because this Motion is very important. I have just said that the late President Jomo Kenyatta, former President Moi and President Kibaki swore to make sure that there is equal and fair distribution of resources. I expected that even districts would be distributed fairly. But they illegally dished out districts. For that matter, if you are aligned to the President of the day, you can ... view

• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues who have contributed positively to this Motion. I would also like to thank the Assistant Minister who has really researched on this matter. He has come out very clearly on the number of districts that have been created, the number of constituencies that are still not districts on their own and the number of constituencies which are covered by two districts. From what the Assistant Minister and other Members of Parliament have just said, the process of creating new districts has not been ... view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Resolved accordingly:- THAT, aware that many countries are decentralising their Government structures to better respond to local needs; realising that centrally administered programmes do not always provide for effective programme delivery at the local level; aware that the Government has created a district in a number of constituencies on a one to one basis; this House urges the Government to create administrative districts on the basis of constituencies. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are similarities in this Motion and the one that I have just moved. I thank Dr. Eseli for bringing this Motion to the House. The real issue in all these areas is equal distribution of resources, employment and other factors. As I thank the Government for this money which is trickling down to the people, I just 2918 PARLIAMETARY DEBATES October 22, 2008 want to say that this money is very important to the people. As much as the Government is trying to bring this money down to the people, it should ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. The name "Budalangi" is known by all hon. Members in this House as a place prone to flooding, and where many people have suffered. I wish to thank my brothers, Mr. Namwamba and Dr. Khalwale, who seconded the Motion, because Kenyans are suffering and the nation seems not to take it seriously. People are suffering! Many people are dying and property is lost, but very little is being done by the Government. It is time this nation woke up and saw that Kenyans ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Why did we not recover that money, punish the criminals who took the money, and save Kenyans from catastrophes like the Budalangi one and others in other flooding areas? October 15, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2741 It is time Government allocated money to the flood-prone areas, so that Kenyans can be saved. We cannot afford to say that we have no solution to this problem. How can you be sick for many years without seeking treatment? There is very little the Government has done about this. This is the truth about it! There is no serious measure that the Government has ... view
