• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to confirm that I am the Chairman of Education, Research and Technology Committee. I am very conversant with this technology. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to bring to you attention that it is true that the axe should cut both ways and I totally agree with you. But as it is now, the axe is so skewed to the Back Benchers in the sense that when an hon. Member misses to ask a Question, the Question is normally dropped; and when the Minister is absent, the Question is deferred. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still want to request and urge you that the Standing Orders Committee sits and really considers serious penalties on Ministers when they do not turn up to answer Questions. I did indicate earlier on that by deferring a Question today, it also means that another hon. Member’s Question will not appear on that day. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Government and the Ministry, in particular, has been giving contradictory statements to the public. The other day, they indicated that they have released the money to all our schools and yet, schools are closing without money. If the Assistant Minister is convinced that he actually gave them food, could he table the documents to show how much food he gave to those schools? view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the past, the Ministry had confirmed that it was committed to ensuring that all the IDP camps are closed after resettlement of the IDPs. The Minister has indicated that there are still 1,778 IDPs to be resettled. What assurance can she give to the IDPs that they will be settled before the general election? Could she give an indication when they are likely to complete the resettlement exercise? Will they be settled before the next elections or they will vote while in the IDP camps? view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter, but the Minister is taking it casually and giving contradictory statements. He started by saying that the Government has approved the de-gazettement of a strip of land on the edge of Nairobi National Park. He then went further to say that it is illegal for the Government to approve de-gazettement of national park land without the approval of Parliament. Is he in order to contradict his own statement? view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is happening on the road now is that the construction is going on. It has actually started. Part “c” of the Question sought to know from the Minister whether he could assure the House that the proposed degazettement will not be implemented and instead the earlier planned road reserve be repossessed from illegal allottees. This Question was going beyond him that he needed to consult his colleagues in the Ministry of Roads and the Ministry of Lands. Now that the Question sought that information, could he confirm to this House that sure enough there are illegal ... view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a result of matatus and some other drivers not observing the rules and regulations in place, there are a lot of accidents that even affect the same matatus. The Assistant Minister has indicated that he is bringing a Bill here; however, we already have so many laws that if properly and fully enforced we shall stop this menace. What are you doing to enforce the rules and laws that are in existence now? view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) whether he is aware that there are no Registrars of Births and Deaths in Nandi North district; and, (b) what he is doing to have the officers posted to Kabiyet town. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the open answer. But I want him to know the frustrations of the people of Mosop as regards registration of births, especially towards the registration time of KCPE candidates. This is a district that came into being in 2007. We are talking of five years down the line and the Ministry is still looking for staff to establish an office in Kabiyet. To register people does not require rocket science. Now that he has confirmed that he has recruited some casual labourers and understanding the frustrations of the people of ... view
