• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I wanted to ask the Minister to very quickly be critical about the Recurrent Vote Expenditure that his officers present him with. I am worried because when you look at the vote expenditure, you will find that the Kenya Maritime Authority, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) do not have a vote head that talks about other operating expenses, yet in the Kenya Ferry Services, while they have given other expenditure, you will see that Kshs50 million has been given. The Minister is obviously not going to administer this. It is going to be expended ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I ask the Minister to look into those issues. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to ask the Assistant Minister to tell us the true reason as to why these flights were cancelled. We have it from a very reliable authority that the then ambassador of Kenya to Washington, Amb. Ogega, and the then Minister for Transport, Mr. Mwakwere--- In fact, the Minister had flown from Nairobi to Washington. They had organized a nice ceremony. The Minister and the ambassador were to board that first direct flight from Washington to Nairobi. In the last minute, something went wrong. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it had nothing to do with security ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. However, it is very worrying when you hear that allocations for certain regions are being reduced arbitrarily from Nairobi. How prepared is the Assistant Minister and his Ministry in terms of implementing the new Constitution which makes it mandatory for resources to be allocated to regions? What ground preparations have been put in place? Even from my own area, we complain a lot. We have been told before that money has been allocated, but it never reaches the ground. I am asking this because the new ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, hata bila ya kuongezea Wizara hii pesa, ni kwa nini haishikani mkono na Wizara ya Elimu kusajili watoto wa shule ya upili? Hii ni kwa sababu watoto wa shule ya upili, hasa katika sehemu kame za nchi, wanapomaliza shule huwa wamefikisha miaka 18. Kwa nini jambo hili hamlichukuliwi kwa uzito? Ni kwa nini hamwandikishi walimu wakuu kama gazetted officers ili wawasaidie katika kusajilisha vijana wetu kutoka sehemu kame? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of marginalization is almost like a continuous curse because you will find that in some of the areas where we come from, the Ministry will insist on certain standards and yet, our people from those areas cannot meet those standards. The Ministry then says that we are not qualified. Then we are marginalized. People from other districts are brought and take up the positions that should have gone, as hon. Lankas has said, to alleviate the unemployment in our areas. There will be teacher recruitment exercise on contract basis. We want an undertaking from ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the reasons given, I want to support. But I want to express one concern. Why is it that the Government has chosen to avoid listing down the bigger Votes? They are bringing the smaller Votes from the various departments of the Ministries and leaving out the bigger ones. Is it a strategy that the Government is trying to avoid scrutiny of these Votes so that they can have these Votes go through Guillotine? We request that the Government seriously considers bringing the kind of Votes that are carrying most of the weight of the Budget ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the Minister was moving the Development Vote, I heard him clearly talking about Kshs2.5 billion and gave a summary on how he will allocate the money. I am looking at the Estimates for 2010/2011, and I can see that the Ministry’s Development Vote is Kshs2.276 billion. Could he clarify whether we are talking about the same thing, so that we know we are moving in the same direction before the Vote is seconded or make the necessary correction? view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to ask for a clarification, so that when we start, we do so, on a correct note. When moving the Vote, the Minister talked about the Development Vote and quoted the figure as Kshs2.5 billion. The Estimates for 2010/2011, show Development Vote for this Ministry as Kshs2.2 billion. I want to know whether the figures we are talking about are the same or is there a problem there, so that we can move on in the right direction? Just a clarification! view
