• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the answer but he surely must know that Tana River District is indeed, very vast and Tana Delta which was curved out of the old Tana River District is still a very big district and that is why the locations themselves like Wachu Oda Location are indeed, very vast in size. The complaint that is here, which I wanted the Minister to look at and specifically undertake is that, Wachu Oda Location - I appreciate that there have been these visits – Hurara Village, constantly is ignored by the officers ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was happy to hear the Minister say that he will be conducting mobile registration. When these funds become available, as he said he has already requested them, will he make special provision for those far away districts like the Tana Delta District? Will he make arrangements for purchase of vehicles and hiring of extra staff? For real, some of these outer districts have serious problems in accessing ID cards. I want the Minister to give an undertaking along those lines, so that we can help our people access this service. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he is aware that the main Malindi–Garsen tarmac road is in a state of serious disrepair; (b) how much money has been budgeted for the repair of the road and when the repair works will commence; and, (c) when the Government will undertake repair works on the section of the road between Marereni area (in Magarini Constituency) and Garsen Town. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is aware that, that is the same road that serves the entire Lamu District. It is a road that is entirely utilized by not only the tourists, but to transport all the food crops from the entire Tana Delta. I want the assurance that the works will commence on May, 2011. That is because, sometimes, the Assistant Minister talks but what he says is not carried to the end. I want his assurance and then I will be satisfied. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has identified that a chemical called cyhalothrine is the one that was responsible for the death of these fish. Now, pending all those other actions that the Government will take in the future, has he requested the other relevant agency of the Government to ban this particular chemical, or restrict its use, so that we do not have the same problems recurring in other places? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) whether the Treasury will comply with the provisions of Article 203(2) of the Constitution to set aside 15 per cent of the revenues for the 47 county governments; and, (b) what preparations Treasury has undertaken to ensure capacity building for proper utilization of the funds in the county governments. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at this answer, it means that the Treasury is working towards ensuring that money will be available in the Financial Year 2012/2013. This means that we will have elections in August, 2012. If the funds for the counties - the not less than 15 per cent – as the Minister is saying, will be available in the Financial Year 2012/2013, it means effectively that Exchequer releases will start taking place in the month of July, 2012. The Governors will be elected in August 2012. Is this proper planning? What is the Minister expecting the ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Under Article 35 of the new Constitution, we are entitled to full disclosure of information. This is a very serious matter. Is this working committee diversified enough? For example, doe it have anyone from the marginalized counties who will take care of our interest? Is it planning for specific areas? We want full disclosures. Who are the members of this working committee? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if the Assistant Minister has a copy of the Constitution. But if someone can lend him a copy, he will see that under Article 217, it is the Senate which is supposed to allocate resources. Clause 11 states clearly that the functions of the Senate will be effected by the current National Assembly during the interim period. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, Parliament which is supposed to determine those things in terms of resource allocation as far as revenue is concerned. Since he is the one in charge of the Treasury, when will he bring the relevant Motion or Bill to enable this House, acting as the Senate, to pass a resolution, in keeping with the new Constitution, to make sure that we have monies ring-fenced for the counties? We are very worried that the Treasury is unyielding and does not want to allocate these funds. When will he bring the necessary Motion or Bill to ... view
