• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Garsen, I would like to pass our condolences to the families of hon. Saitoti and hon. Orwa Ojode. Hon. Saitoti’s second last function or harambee was carried out in Garsen Constituency. He was in Oda Location where he did a fundraising for the women of that place. The one thing we want to remember about Prof. Saitoti is that he went there to attend a PNU function. He went there to drum up support for his party, but at no one time, and I support the sentiments of hon. Orengo, did ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Question; it is specifically requesting the status of ownership. I have a copy of the answer, and what he has tabled is not a status of ownership. There is a convoluted way of trying to avoid to say who owns the land as it stands now; the purpose of this Question is to name and shame the people who have stolen public land. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday in the Budget Committee, we received a very worrying report from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives. He said that there is a possibility of actual biological warfare and actual sabotage in terms of finishing off crop production with the sole purpose of ensuring that some people or company benefits commercially. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether they have launched investigations to clarify this claim? He told us that it is not only this country but also other countries are facing some kind of biological warfare. If this is so, ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a point the Assistant Minister is not getting to. The hon. Member for Konoin has asked whether the Government is planning to compensate the farmers and the Assistant Minister has told us they are taking stock of the affected farmers. However, he has not committed before this House whether he will compensate the farmers or not. He is not giving us a complete answer. Is the Assistant Minister in order to evade answering the Question? view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what policy KWS has in terms of allocation of projects. But could the Assistant Minister consider allocating more projects to the counties that have given more land to KWS? view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for instance, in Tana River County, there are very few projects which KWS has given and yet, we have given a lot of land in terms of national parks. Could the Assistant Minister consider making it a policy to allocate projects in terms of the land allocated to KWS from various counties? view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are heads of schools who have gone into arrangements with banks, due to pressure from suppliers; to take loans, so that they can keep the schools afloat. Can the Minister give assurance that they will settle those loans, including the interest that is going to be incurred in those kinds of arrangements? view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had issues in the Budget Committee with the Treasury as far as the revenue Heads are concerned. It appears that there is an attempt to be evasive. Most of the time when we ask them to give clarity on these matters they keep saying that the PSC has sorted out things like that and the same problem goes to the Auditor-General. He has a problem with the differences between the figures that are in the Kenya Revenue Authority, the figures that the CBK gives and the figures that the Minister tables here. So, the issue ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I needed to make a small contribution in the Second Reading of this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, specifically on the Elections Act. There is a grave or rather important proposal that passed, and we have discussed this matter with the Attorney-General, that concerns presidential and deputy presidential candidates. In the original Elections Act, I had proposed at the Committee Stage that the presidential candidate may as well vie for an extra seat, if they so wished. That proposal was rejected by the House, so that the presidential and deputy presidential candidates or their running mates ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what we want is to make sure that people who have aspired to high offices and their political parties perform very well, and they have enough members in the House. They could very well be majority leaders or even minority leaders in the House. They can be nominated so that they can properly participate in the contribution in national building. More important also, you can have some of the politicians, who have been in this business for the last 15, 20 or 30 years. They may not wish to actually contest for their local seats. That ... view
