• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the training of an oncologist is one of the most expensive specialties that you find in medicine. Just before you came in, the Assistant Minister had told us that they have cancelled post-graduate training for doctors in this country. In fact, he has written to 94 doctors who had been admitted to Moi University and University of Nairobi not to proceed for training because they will not pay for it. Could he tell us, now that he has admitted that you need these oncologists, whether they are going to reverse that wrong misguided decision and get those ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the concern of some Members is whether the restructured Provincial Administration within a county will be answerable to the governor of the county or whether it will be answerable to the President. Because the Assistant Minister chose to take it very lightly and answer on the spot, could he also tell us on the spot whether the restructured Provincial Administration that he intends to have will report to the Governor or to the President? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have been in this House from 2.30 p.m. and notice of this Motion has not been given. So, unless the Chair has allowed the usual practice to be changed, we would like you to rule on whether we can proceed before notice of the Motion is given. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Ministry is in charge of licensing of all present and future investors. I believe that to license, they normally look at the strategic plans of all the companies. I still insist that he answers that question because the strategic plans that you looked at when you were licensing them must have shown how many masts they were going to put up in future. This is not a theoretic thing because this is an area which is uncharted all over the world. It is modern technology and the effects of non-ionizing ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister, in his answer, has brought out the issue of high density populated areas. He has told us that the studies centered on equipment type approval and stipulates that deployment parameters that service providers may comply with and the National Environmental Management Authority which approvals specific site installations of electronic magnetic radiation sources. If NEMA has to approve first, the Assistant Minister should tell us why those installations are in high density areas. Was it with the approval of NEMA or is it that they are convinced that 20 ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my concern is about the current Constitution, which, in Section 27, provides for equality and freedom from discrimination. It is very painful that when you go to that area, you find that women who are more than 50 years old do not have identity cards, the reason being that they are unable to satisfy the vetting committee. In the rest of the country, all that one needs to have is one’s father’s identity card. He goes with it to the registration officer and his documents are processed. What are you doing to ensure that the vetting ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House by saying that the vetting process is not only limited to the Somali border points, and that it applies to all Kenyan borders when we know that the Abaluhyia are on both sides of Uganda and Kenya, yet the vetting process does not take place in Busia? Why is it that in Busia a Kenyan is able to get an identity card very easily, but in the North Eastern Province it is very difficult to get it? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The greatest fear of Kenyans for which we request the Prime Minister to reassure is that the Government is not giving the clear signals that they want to implement this new constitution in the letter and spirit of the draft that Kenyans voted for on the 4th of August, 2010. No sooner had the Constitution been promulgated than the Minister for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and his senior officers went ahead and created a new structure where they even clustered some counties into some regions which were only understood to them and said that ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the Office of the President is currently constructing a district headquarters in Chepalungu Forest? (b) Has Chepalungu Forest been delineated to allow the developments going on and, if so, could the Minister provide the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report, the Gazette Notice, Legal Notice and Parliamentary approval as required by law? (c) What action is the Government taking to stop the destruction of the forest? view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister and the Government for retracting from what had earlier obtained on the ground in Chepalungu, that is, through a roadside declaration the Government was going to delineate part of the forest. I want to thank the Minister for reaffirming that we are going to respect Sections 69 and 153 of the Constitution which require that a decision of the Cabinet must be in writing and not through a roadside announcement. I thank you and the people of this country are happy for that change. view
