• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am really shocked. The hon. Attorney General, the man we greatly respect has actually confirmed and said that the cause of death of two Kenyans is not known to the Government. I am wondering what efforts the Government has made to try and find out how they died and where the bodies of these Kenyans are because, however criminal they might be, they still have the protection of the Government. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice. What are the salaries and allowances for all the Commissioners of the Commissions set out in the Constitution and how much is it costing the tax payers in total? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have had a chance to look at the detailed list of the cost of Commissions. By and large, these commissions are just as expensive as Parliament on the overall.

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is the rationale of negotiating these salaries? Most of these chairmen and their duties earn more than a Member of Parliament in terms of the duties that the Members of Parliament perform and the duties that these other Commissioners perform. What is the rationale behind you giving a Commissioner a better house than a Member of Parliament, who has a lot of guests to entertain? They earn a higher house allowance than us. view

• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with full knowledge that there may be a shortage of maize this year considering the disease in South Rift, Nyamira, Kisii and Transmara, could the Assistant Minister tell us what measures he is taking to enable those farmers produce maize as soon as possible? view

• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister consider upping the allocation or requesting for an allocation of, at least, Kshs8 billion per year in view of the fact that the people of Bonchari will increase from 110 to about 140 elderly people being assisted, if we were to follow the current budget request? I am sure that all Parliamentarians will support it because there is no point of increasing from 100 to 140. We will still have the same problem. I urge that the Minister requests for a bigger budget allocation, which Parliament will support. view
