5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for answering this Question that has been moved from one Ministry to another. I take note that he is answering on behalf of another Ministry. Listening to the answer to this Question, this was a World Bank funded project. If it was fully implemented, our brothers in Budalangi would not be suffering year in, year out. Because of corruption and misuse, all of these projects have been suspended. I want to confirm that on the project that I am referring to here, almost Kshs1 million has been spent but nothing ...

5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister, first of all, for having lifted the suspension, so that this project could continue. If you look at the answer, this is supposed to benefit my people through minor irrigation and also to provide a bridge between one side of the land and the other. He indicated that they are going to retender. How long with the retendering take, so that the completion of the project will be as per his answer that the project will be completed by October, 2012? Which Ministry is doing this?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Assistant Minister’s answer, he has indicated that the lady has swollen legs. He has gone further to claim that the employer actually took her to hospital, and that he has given an undertaking to take her back. This being a Kenyan he has confirmed has swollen legs, which could be as a result of mistreatment or hard work, could the Assistant Minister give an undertaking to send his officers from Riyadh to go and pick this girl, take her to hospital and, maybe, forward the medical report to him?

31 May 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering my question? This Question has come here because there is a Kenyan outside there whom we believe is being mistreated. I asked a simple question, whether the Assistant Minister could undertake to send his officers to go and take this girl for further medication and send a report back to Kenya. Is he in order to avoid answering that question?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Deputy Leader of Government Business for the business of next week. But there is a Bill that we have been awaiting for very long and I was expecting it to come next week. This is the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Bill. I do not know how far it is. Maybe the Deputy Leader of Government Business could tell us the position of the same.

30 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to applaud the role of Jomo Kenyatta Foundation in helping the extremely poor children in the Republic of Kenya. One of the criteria that we notice in the advertisements is that a student should have scored a minimum of 370 marks in order to apply. Some of these notices are so short and are in newspapers. Some of the students from the marginalized places do not necessarily read the newspapers to be able to apply for bursaries. Could the Assistant Minister consider lowering the minimum requirement to even 300 marks, so that children from marginalized ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister, in his initial answer, indicated that he is going to consider this project in the 2012/2013 Budget which is already in progress. He has further said that he is only going to do it after doing the real costing. Is he in order to contradict himself? What is the right position?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a serious matter, but the Assistant Minister is taking it very casually. This is a case that ended up taking away the lives of Kenyans. Is the Assistant Minister in order not to provide all the

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is known internationally for its best performance in athletics. The majority of the athletes come from the North Rift. The Minister is aware of “Eldoret Express” and “Kapsabet Express”, whom we expect to give this country a gold medal during the Olympics this year. In his own press Statement in October, 2010, the Minister indicated and told the public that Kipchoge Stadium in Eldoret would receive Kshs130 million for renovation, but that is yet to be seen. There was also indication that Kapsabet Stadium would get Kshs100 million for rehabilitation because it is in a ...
