• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Last year, it received Kshs100,000 for construction of one classroom from the Ministry and yet it does not have a single TSC teacher. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House when he will post teachers to this school? view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to remind the Chair that we raised some issues on the Floor of the House regarding some rulings to be made by the Speaker. We would want to know when those rulings will be forthcoming. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, I had sought a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Energy. What was, however, remaining of the answer was the ruling of the Court to be laid on the Table so that we can come up with a decision. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is obvious that this hon. Member does not have respect for other hon. Members. You heard him refer to Mrs. Mugo. He said that some Ministers should not come to the Floor of the House, and, shamelessly, give orders to other Ministers. Is the hon. Member not out of order for not respecting other hon. Members, including me? view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. In this country, we have learnt one thing; to hate our country. This has become a disease. We do not see anything good coming from the Government, your Member of Parliament or whatever parastatal. At this rate, we will have no country. We must remember that east or west, home is best. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the biggest culprits are actually the Government Ministers. There is something called collective responsibility. If the Government Ministers stood together to defend the Government and not to do the work of the Back Bench; criticising it--- You will remember that a while ago, a Member who had just been appointed for the first time to Parliament and got very lucky to be a Minister, was not very happy with the appointment of diplomats. She called a Press conference to criticise her own boss. We have also seen other Ministers criticising fellow Ministers. You wonder why ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: In 2002, the current President, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Minister for Water and Irrigation, passed by my constituency. I was running a very small party called SDP and was just about to win the General Elections. They came during the last three days and these were the words they told people in my constituency: "You elect us. We will ensure that there will be no relief food, but water for irrigation." It was amazing because the President himself was speaking in Kikamba, when it came to that issue of relief food. Likewise, the Prime Minister himself had learnt those words; ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I am told there were issues of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and so on. But this time round we have the same President, Vice-President and Prime Minister who passed through my constituency. What happened? I was given Kshs2.2 million for irrigation in the whole district. I was lucky this Sunday to host the President in my constituency and reminded him. So, I am glad that we are going on recess, hoping that since it is Budget time, we will be given more money for irrigation. If we can approve Kshs7 billion for importation of relief food, why not approve ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to talk about Nairobi Metropolis. The idea was very good. It kicked off very well, but now it has become a joke. If you are from Wajir and you request the Minister that you want to be part of Nairobi Metropolis, he will put you under it. How far is Wajir? The same applies if you are from the far end of Laikipia and want to join Nairobi Metropolis. The idea is good, but it must be something that will be seen to be serious and not a joke. I understand that people ... view
