What does the Assistant Minister intend to do to ensure that those constituencies get their funds? view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was the first question! view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what happened and, which the Assistant Minister does not want to tell this House, is that during the last Budget, no funds were allocated for bursaries. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance decided to get Kshs400 million from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) kitty and gave it to the Ministry of Education.

• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister evaded a very important question. There are farmers who had not taken loans, but had accounts in this UBS branch in Kangundo. What action will the Assistant Minister take to ensure that those farmers are refunded their money? We are not interested in those who had taken loans. Let the law take its own course. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Transport:- (a) whether he is aware that Kenya Airways has monopolised local and regional air travel, as a result of which airfares are unreasonably high; (b) whether he is also aware that this has greatly increased the cost of doing business in the country and regionally; and, (c) whether he could consider licensing more airlines to operate locally in order to allow competition which would lead to reduction in the cost of local air travel. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer is not comprehensive. What the hon. Assistant Minister is referring to as airlines are very weak airlines. Some of them are licensed and they have not been able to operate. Could the Ministry consider licensing major airlines to fly from Nairobi to Kisumu or Nairobi to Mombasa or Nairobi to Eldoret? view

Could the airline consider reducing this fare, having in mind that the Government owns a stake in the airline? view
