• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you must come to my rescue. This Question was brought here during the last Parliament; in 2007 and I was given the same answer. All I want to get from the Assistant Minister is a serious commitment from the Government. The money that was allocated for the entire district is Kshs5 million. It is not even enough for the design of this canal and that of Yatta Dam. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Assistant Minister, truly, give us a proper commitment and tell us how much, because I have the figures? I can even tell ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, yesterday the Chair ruled that there will be no business to be discussed from the Ministry of Finance and Question No.2 was to be answered by the Minister for Finance. That was why the hon. Member, Mr. Ngugi could not--- view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, since the Assistant Minister has agreed to visit the site - and he does not know that direction - I would want to direct him. I would like him to go through my constituency. He should go through Matuu. There is a very bad road July 2, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1533 which connects Matuu Town, IKombe and Katangi. He should pass through this road, so that he does not need to make another trip in the same direction. When he is allocating money for that road in Kitui, he should also allocate some little money for ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to know from the Minister whether there is a clear cut policy. I come from a district called Yatta and we have old facilities. One is Matuu that is supposed to be a district hospital, but lacks all the necessary facilities including X- Rays, theatres, maternity and mortuary wings. Is it possible for the Minister to consider providing those facilities to all the sub-district hospitals and upgrading, for example Katangi Health Centre in my constituency, to a sub-district hospital? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. About six weeks ago, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Prime Minister. About another week ago, the Prime Minister was here and undertook to respond. This Ministerial Statement centres on the School Feeding Programme in which school kids are concerned. To date, I have not been told when it will be delivered. I am keen to know whether this Government is sensitive where kids are concerned. Could the Chair rule when I should get the Ministerial Statement? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I certainly do not want an answer from the Ministry of Education. This issue centres on finances. Finances come from the Ministry of Finance! If this Government is not sensitive to our kids in school, that can amount to child abuse. I want the Chair to rule specifically on the date when I will get my Ministerial Statement. That is my right and the right of this House! Which date? Six weeks have already passed! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start by thanking all those who have contributed and supported the Motion. First, I want to remind hon. Members what the SIM card means. It means "Subscriber Identity Module" (SIM). That means that for you to have one, you really must have an identity. I did listen to the sentiments and concerns raised by the hon. Assistant Minister, Mr. Khaniri, and his argument was that he supported the Motion in the first place. I Thank him for that. But he finished in the opposite. I hope the hon. Assistant Minister could listen. The argument ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The ruling yesterday touched on the Ministry of Finance, whether or not matters are originating from the Government. Indeed, the Minister will be called upon to reply. As you can see, he has not even bothered, as usual, even to send a representative. So, we request that this particular Motion, on the basis that the Minister has not even bothered to send a representative to listen to it - and that will touch on his conduct as we discuss in the afternoon - be deferred to another date. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. The Minister might be a guru in the accounting profession, but this House has valuers and you cannot be a valuer overnight. We saw arrogance from the Minister when he was asked about Safaricom. His answer was: "This is not a fish market". view
