• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have Kshs5.5 billion for rural electrification. Is it possible to plan ahead and tell us how much of that amount will go to each constituency in future? view
• 27 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute. I support the Minister for Finance for doing us proud by presenting his very wonderful Budget Speech. At the outset, quite a number of issues require some clarifications from the Minister. It is true he said that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expenditure went up to 46 per cent. Salaries, particularly for teachers, have been increased. Teachers perform an important role of fostering national unity. Therefore, those allocations should be increased to employ additional teachers to cope up with the increased number of pupils as a result ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it seems clear that when people go missing in Kenya, it takes the police long time to trace them, whilst police in other countries take a very short time to trace missing people. Could the Assistant Minister explain to the House what is happening with the police? If it is possible to trace missing Kenyans overseas, like the ones missing in Iraq, whom the Government is looking for, why is the Government unable to trace its own missing citizens? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that many teachers who graduated from various universities as early as the 1980s are still being deducted HELB loans long after they completed repayment; (b) is he further aware that these loans were recovered by the TSC but not remitted to HELB; and, (c) what steps he is taking to arrest the situation. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is just giving us a theoretical reply. What is practical is that right now if you go to Anniversary Towers, you will find many teachers queuing complaining about their salary deductions. What system does the HELB and TSC have to make sure that there is no double deduction from teachers' salaries? Is there enough data from TSC given to the HELB to assist in this matter? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is claiming that there is no over-deduction. But there are letters already issued to teachers instructing TSC to deduct salaries and given six months notice to recover the whole amounts. Could the Ministry stop this? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware of the ongoing wanton destruction of food crops by rampaging elephants at Gikumbo/Kangaita area on the slopes of Mt. Kenya? (b) What measures is the Ministry taking to protect the farmers who are under the siege of these animals? view

• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very interesting answer. It is also interesting to note that the Minister who has answered the Question also comes from the same area and I believe what she has said will be done. However, when will the plan set aside for Kerugoya/Kutus begin? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the Minister is talking about is a long-term programme. However, the animals will continue to destroy crops. I was in my constituency yesterday and heard that some crops were destroyed by elephants. What immediate measures is the Ministry undertaking to make sure that farmers who neighbour forests are compensated? view
