• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister gave a good answer, but there is something he has failed to address. The geothermal power plants that he promised he would build, the wind and solar power plants, biomass power plants, among others. What measures is he going to take to make sure that we do not have those costs? What measures will he take to make sure that it does not become another IPPs or expensive venture that we, as Kenyans, will bear in the final analysis of this green energy movement? view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has very carefully avoided to answer the bit about retirement. He should not avoid that question. If it was another person who holds that office, we can justifiably say that he is appointing his peers or age mates. Why should the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance appoint retirees? If you look at the Public Gallery, you will see that there are many young Kenyans who need jobs. Why should he appoint the same old people? Could he assure us that, in ... view

• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. This Motion of amendment is here to make a point that the Fiscal Management Bill has now become law. This Parliament will, therefore, not surrender its authority to the Treasury to be doing business as usual. If you look at the Standing Orders, specifically, Standing Order No.152, you will find that the moment the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance read the Financial Estimates, they stood committed to the relevant Departmental Committees automatically. These Committees are supposed to give a full report of the scrutiny of those Votes within 21 days. ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that there is a plan by the Government to have the new pensions schemes to invest in Government bonds and securities. Is the Ministry not making it less profitable for the schemes and, therefore, exposing them to losses? view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The letter that has been laid on the Table with regard to that Question actually comes from the Permanent view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the inventions of technology in recent years is tele-medicine which is supposed to give treatment to people in places where it is not easy to access doctors and in fact, very specialized attention. These are places such as Turkana and others including Garsen Constituency. Of late, there has been a development known as doctors-on-line. These doctors-on-line are able to give information on your sickness, treatment and prescribe medicine. As a House and the public in general, we would like to know, are we secure? Are there rules which have been gazetted to accommodate this otherwise ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have made my point. I really hope the Minister can do something because people are exposed to people who can even be posing as doctors but are not qualified or known by the Kenya Medical Association (KMA). view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has addressed the tele-medicine bit of it. I am happy that he is considering making those rules. However, already, in the market, there are doctors online. If you send a text message which had already been advertised, they will give you advice. Is the public safe with this service which is being utilized right now? If we are not certain and there are no rules, is the Minister satisfied that, that particular service through Short Message Service (SMS) should continue? view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fire that broke out in Malindi Town caused a major devastation to a big investment. Could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government tell this country whether it is, indeed, true that no fire brigade arrived on time or the ones that came did not have water? What plans does he have to increase the capacity of Malindi Town fire brigade to cope with such fire since it is not the first one? view
