• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, I would like to thank the Minister for the comprehensive answer. Understanding that most of our children who go to the TTCs come from very poor background and since the TTCs are the only colleges they can afford, could the Minister confirm to this House whether increasing the BE&S Vote from Kshs9,000 to Kshs17,000 – almost double – has not had an adverse effect on these students? Could he also assist by clarifying to the colleges that they could charge in three installments rather than two installments? Could he also urgently consider further bursaries to these ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I made the Minister aware that many of the children who joined the TTCs did so purely because they charged low fees. The TTCs were the only colleges they could afford to join. If you add the amount of money that the Minister has mentioned here for First and Second Year and the BE&S, it means that these students are expected to pay Kshs83,450 per year. All we have requested the Minister to do is to see if he can stagger the amount into three installments to ease the burden or else since the Government started offering ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for that answer. I would like to know, at the time of presentation of the Budget for 2010/2011, in the Kshs27.4 billion allocated there was a substantial amount of money for ambulances, which, apparently, were supposed to be leased. Could he inform this House which companies these vehicles are being leased from? Knowing that ambulances are not vehicles but medical tools, is it prudent to lease or to buy them? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is about ambulances. Ambulances are not just vehicles; these are medical tools. How do you lease a medical tool? Could you change that and, instead, reduce the number of ambulances and purchase them? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of what the Prime Minister has just informed the House and in view of what the last contributor, hon. Kabando wa Kabando, said, I beg your indulgence that you allow me to withdraw this proposed amendment to the Motion. This is because history is reminding me the events of Bungoma County in the 1970s when the predecessor of my constituency, Elijah Mwangale, presented a report on the murder of J.M. Kariuki, and Masinde Muliro and Kibisu voted with him and they were hence thought to be malcontents in the Government ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had no intention to offend hon. Wakoli, but if he feels offended, then I am willing to withdraw that part of my statement but still ask your indulgence that I beg to withdraw this amendment because now it serves no purpose. And as to what hon. Kabando wa Kabando said, definitely, if I pursued to prosecute this amendment, I would be causing more damage than good to this country. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I rise with an intention to move an amendment to the Motion:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the fullstop at the end and inserting the following words “subject to deletion of paragraphs 76.1.6 on page 124, 76.1.7 on page 124 and the entire Section 76.2 on page 129. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: The Motion will then read:- THAT, this House adapts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on the procurement, disposals and construction of properties of Kenya’s diplomatic missions in Egypt, Japan, Nigeria, Belgium and Pakistan laid on the Table of the House on 12th October, 2010 subject to deletion of paragraphs 76.1.6 on page 124, 76.1.7 on page 124 and the entire Section 76.2 on page 129. view
