• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that the Member is outside the country on parliamentary duties. I think he travelled out yesterday. view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: I am informing the Chair that he is, indeed, outside on parliamentary duties from yesterday. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you are watching the drama. The hon. Minister said that they have forwarded these particular identification documents to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons. However, the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons has denied receiving those instructions from his colleague. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cry here is that the family continues to suffer, because this officer was the breadwinner in his family. Considering the fact that senior Government officers who are accused of corruption, including Ministers and politicians, only step aside and continue earning their salaries, why can the Assistant Minister not consider this case as one of an officer being way without permission and suspend him from duty. Since he has confirmed that he does not know whether Mr. Kareru is dead or not, he can continue paying the family his salary; this is an administrative matter. The ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. He missed my point. I just gave him an example. People have been accused of corruption. They have stepped aside. Others are suspended from office because of other offences and they continue earning part of their salaries. So, what I am asking the Assistant Minister is this: since this fellow has not been declared dead, why can he not be considered as an officer who is away from duty without permission, suspend him from office and pay him a half salary? That is what I am asking. If you are paying ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought this Government had systems in place, so that when a case of this nature arises, you do not need to write to the Commissioner of Police. The point I am raising is that, is the Assistant Minister in order to say that for the Government to act, the wife of this police officer has to write a letter to the Commissioner of Police? This matter has already been brought to the House, and to the attention of the Assistant Minister and he has been told the facts. Why can the Assistant Minister not act ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) why electricity supply works for Kalukuni Secondary School of Yatta Constituency and its environs stalled; and, (b) when the works will be completed. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am at a loss. This is because works were done at Kalukuni Project. The only thing which was not installed was a transformer. The works he is referring to at Kiasiomi started a year later. These were two separate projects; one is almost 80 per cent complete, it was abandoned and then you went to start another fresh project. I do not understand how the Ministry has been operating. What is remaining is barely 20 per cent. Whatever works were done, the poles and wires are falling. The Government will end up spending more than ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There has been a trend within the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) where projects are started, abandoned and then they move on to start other projects. What I am asking is very simple. Was it fair for the Ministry to do a project 80 per cent, abandon it and then start another project another year, because these works were done last year and not this year? What was the rationale? This project was costing Kshs4 million and they had the money. They abandoned it and went to start another one ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister has done a good job in explaining what is happening. But on the ground there are always questions and cases of people not understanding what is happening. Could the Minister ensure that where projects will take longer than expected or appear to have stalled, the beneficiaries on the ground are informed what is happening, because every hon. Member is under pressure to explain why these projects have stalled? view
