• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am focusing on the Development vote. It is not fair for a Ministry such as the Ministry of Fisheries Development, which to a large extent affects two regions, the region in the Coast and the region in the Lake area, to lose a total of 26.28 per cent in its budgetary allocation. view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I am trying to make to the Minister is very simple; we must have fiscal discipline. You cannot bring a Budget a few months ago and three months down the road, you are asking for this ridiculous increment to the Ministry of Lands of 225.76 per cent in the Development Vote. view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country needs to be taken more seriously in as far as planning of its finances is concerned. Proper explanations need to be given for us to accept to move in the manner in which the Minister proposes we do. We expect proper planning. If a Ministry can come and tell us something and then, a few view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the appointment of the Director- General is also important because he is going to be paid a salary and other remuneration. According to the National Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, Section 14, the remuneration of the Director-General--- He is to be paid such salaries from time to time as may be determined by the President. The question I want to ask the Assistant Minister is: This new National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) Director- General, on what terms and conditions is he employing him? If he is going to be paid as per what the President is ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is consequential! It is part of the whole thing! view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the San Marco Project is located very near Garsen. It is on the road, although it is in Malindi. What we know is that because of the unique location on the equator, the monitoring of all the rockets that are launched is done all over the world at San Marco Project. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfair for the Government today to stand here and tell us that there is no money that is being created in that project, while we know that any rocket launched would not cost less than US$100 million. It is true that they pay to the project on every orbiting tracing, at least, US$50 million. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the Assistant Minister to stand here and tell us that since 1963 up to now, the San Marco Project has only given Kshs240 million to community projects is a joke. What we want to ask the Assistant Minister is: What benefits are there that you can show for the people of Malindi and Coast Province in general from that project? At every US$100 million that they are paying to San Marco, what is it that the community at the Coast is getting? We need this thing to be taken seriously by the Ministry of State ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister suggesting that the people who host that station are not Kenyans? If Kenyans are benefitting, what is it that we are benefitting from that station? It is a shame that a Government Minister can say that from Independence up to now, all the billions that have been made by San Marco and that we have contributed, the Government of Italy has given only Kshs240 million. It is a shame! We are asking you; if it is the project for the entire Government and people of Kenya, what is it that we have ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is also one point that is getting lost somewhere. When the hon. Member was speaking, he alluded to the issue of trying to compartmentalize the voting in the country which relates to the electioneering that is starting on a small-scale. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister, as he brings the Statement to address that issue. What is the Government’s position as far as giving permission and licences to meetings which are basically tribal and yet they are not discussing any issue to do with culture or anything to ... view
