• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Minister has confirmed that this is an illegal act by farmers killing the lions, what is the Government doing to apprehend the farmers? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House? I come from a settlement scheme where title deeds are being issued to absentee landlords! They come with court orders to evict people who have occupied the land for the last 40 years. Is he in order to mislead this House that they do not issue title deeds where there are disputes? In Ndalani Settlement Scheme there is a dispute but title deeds are being given to absentee landlords who come with court orders to evict people who have been ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is unfortunate that the Assistant Minister is taking this issue lightly. How can title deeds be fake while they are taken to courts of law? Directives are given by the courts for people to be evicted from these pieces of land. Is the Assistant Minister trying to say that the courts accept to deal with fake title deeds? These are genuine title deeds issued by your own Ministry! Officers from you Ministry also go to identify those parcels of land. Is the Assistant Minister in order to take this issue ... view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we speak here, there is a serious problem in the entire lower Eastern Province and more so, Ukambani region. This is because of the failed short rains. I would like the Minister to confirm whether, this time round, the Government is in a position to supply adequate relief food to all primary schools. Does the Ministry have enough funds to cater for this? view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the answer, you will find out that Kshs480 million had been allocated to the Lodwar Municipal Council, but only Kshs372 million was released. That leaves a difference of Ksh107 million. Likewise, if you go to the county council down there, you will find that Kshs78 million was allocated, but only Kshs60 million was released. This is not in dispute because this answer is from view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister told me yesterday that he was going to make my Ministerial Statement this morning. He also told me that there was going to be one Ministerial Statement from his office. I am perplexed to hear him talk about a Ministerial Statement sought by another Member of Parliament who is not even here. He gave me an appointment! view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the HANSARD, you will find that the ruling was that the Ministerial Statement which was requested was to be made this morning. He actually confirmed to me that he will make it this morning. So, as loyal as I am to this House, I made sure that I was here this morning. However, after seeing me, he is now saying that he will make it this afternoon. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Transport what the official position of the Government is regarding the failure by Rift Valley Railways (RVR) Company Limited to improve rail services in the country and when it will repossess the railway to facilitate enhanced service delivery. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, I stood on a point of order regarding Questions that had initially been directed to the Prime Minister’s Office. One of those Questions was deferred yesterday. So, I request that this Question also awaits your ruling next week regarding Questions that are directed to the Prime Minister. I say so because it appears that the Prime Minister is dodging Questions. He answers the Questions that are easy to answer and refers the ones that are complicated, difficult and controversial, to line Ministries. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like to remind you that when the issue of the railway line was brought here during the last Session, when the Minister himself was answering the Question, the Prime Minister thought that the Minister was not in the know. He stood up and intervened – something that was totally unprocedural. He was given permission by the Chair to state the position of the Government. Now that the Question has been directed to the Prime Minister, he should not dodge the Question and re-direct it to the Minister. view
