On a point of or order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether you heard what the Assistant Minister said; in a sense, he is implying that they are not able to say who they recruited for the census, and he has asked Members of Parliament to assist him to identify them. This is the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. Is he in order then to come and ask us to do the work of the Executive and to plan for them?

I intend to bring to your attention what transpired. The Question was, indeed, deferred and the Assistant Minister was unable to tell us when---

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The reason why this Question was deferred is that the Assistant Minister was unable to answer part âbâ of the Question which was: âWhen will the roads be tamacked?â All this House wants to know is purely âwhenâ. Is it 2030 or after five years? We only want to know that and nothing else.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have really wanted the Prime Minister also to comment on the visit by the Vice-President of America in as far as reforms are concerned. At the same time, I would like him to comment on the inconveniences caused by the State visit. Could the Government consider hosting Government guests in convenient areas? In this particular case, I would suggest somewhere like Maasai Mara, where they can fly in and out.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, apparently it is not because of him that I rise on a point of order. The hon. Members, particularly in the last Bench are consulting too loudly and we can barely hear what the Assistant Minister is saying.

asked the Minister of State for Public Service:- (a) whether he could update the House on the status of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the Union of Kenya Civil Servants and the Government of Kenya (UKCS); (b) whether he could explain the arrangements the Government has made to pay civil servants the overdue harmonised house allowance and commuter allowance; and,

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to refer the Minister to the first item and this is on the basic wages or salaries. The salaries for civil servants particularly in Job Group L and below are very low. According to the Minister, between 2004 and 2009, despite having been asked for a 45 per cent increase, they have only managed 28 per cent increase. What plans does the Government have to ensure that the civil servants in Job Group L and below are considered for salary increment, taking into account the current inflation rate?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at part âcâ of the answer, you will realise that this is a Government by the rich for the rich. The Government developed a new transport policy in 2006. After developing the policy, they approved payment of commuter allowance for offices in Job Groups R to T. These are the big men in the Ministries. They are Permanent Secretaries and officers in that calibre. Down there, the Government never approved any payments for Job Groups A to L. This is what has been negotiated. These are the messengers, cleaners and the clerks. If ...
