• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the challenges faced by the Ministry, it concerns us and I want to believe that it concerns the entire nation to see a road being done today and within three weeks, it is impassable. Some roads in my constituency are completely impassable a few months after they are repaired. What is the Minister doing to ensure that there is continuous maintenance of certain sections of roads in the country to ensure that they are passable? Otherwise, this money may be going to waste. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am made to understand that Ms. Chepchumba is out of the country. So, when I saw Questions by Ms. Peris Chepchumba on the Order Paper, I wondered whether the Office of the Clerk had not checked the records. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have also been trying to trace her, and rumour has it that she is out of the country. That is why I am asking whether the Office of the Clerk had checked the records. So, it is up to the Office of the Clerk to clarify, and not me. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the comprehensive answer that he has given but listening to his submission, it is very clear that there has been a deliberate move by robbers or attackers to attack the watchmen of schools. These are three schools within the same vicinity. Attacks started on 11th June, 2010, 18th June, 2010 and on 30th June, 2010. Some of the schools are girls’ schools. It scares the watchmen of the Republic of Kenya to see such things happening, noting that watchmen are people who are underpaid. So, if they are ... view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has alluded that in Lelmolok Secondary School, the employment of boy or man who was employed as a watchman did not auger well with the community who felt that they should have employed somebody else. Is he fully convinced that Kenyans can actually hack their colleague or friend to death simply because of that simple suggestion? view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Lastly, what has the Assistant Minister and the entire Government done to ensure that there is proper security in all our schools and proper investigations are done so that the real culprits are arrested? I am saying this because if you look at the case of Kapkoiga, you will find that what was stolen was Kshs26,000. They arrested the school bursar because they suspected that he colluded with the thieves. How can one collude to the extent of people being killed just because of Kshs26,000? Is he convinced? view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you listened to the Assistant Minister, he has said that there are patrols in the schools every day. Is he in order to mislead this House? Could he tell us the days the patrols are carried out so that I could also be there? Could he also consider assigning, at least, two police officers every night in areas where tension is high until it calms? view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will seek your indulgence; when the Minister for Medical Services answered the Question by hon. Ethuro, the Member was not in the House and you realize nobody could interrogate that Question. With that directive could you consider revisiting the same when hon. Ethuro is in the House? view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, as a country, must always ensure that we protect the farmer to ensure that he does not just produce for himself, but makes some little profit. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, as a country, must ensure that our products remain competitive at all times. What is the Minister doing to ensure that we completely subsidize the farmer in terms of inputs such as fertilizer and seeds, so that in future, they can make profits? view
