• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have listened and heard that there is a clause that requires 51 per cent. I am yet to see it but if that is provided for, then I withdraw my amendment. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have listened to my colleagues and I really want to plead with them that we leave the clause as it is. Our media houses sometimes have reported the wrong information about Members and we have been going to court accusing them even when we know the source of the information. We normally go to the printer. We should not have double standards here. Let us use the same way. We are protecting ourselves and we are also reminding the media houses and the printers to be careful. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, farmers in this country have been frustrated by the delay in the release of farm inputs or the availability of the maize seeds and the cost of the same. Could the Minister tell us the cost of buying fertilizer this year and the maize seed for farmers to prepare for the next planting season? view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a )Is the Minister aware that Mosoriot - Chepterwai Road is currently impassable due to heavy rains and, if so, what immediate steps will the Minister take to ensure the road is motorable? (b) Is the Minister also aware of the promise by the Government in 2007 to improve the road to bitumen standards and, if so, why has the same not been fulfilled? (c) When will the road be improved to bitumen standard and how much has been set aside for tarmacking of the road? view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for the answer, this road is very important to the farmers of Mosop. In Kabyet, for example, 25,000 litres are supposed to be delivered to Eldoret everyday and because of the bad road, it has become impossible. In 2007 the Government said, and this was done by His Excellency the President at Mosoriot, that this road would be improved to bitumen standard and the tender was actually advertised the same year but to date nothing has been done. The Assistant Minister has promised to start these works this financial year. He ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to be very optimistic and wait for the end of next week to see the advertisement because the people of Mosop have been waiting and we hope that the legacy of His Excellency the President, as promised will actually take place. As indicated, the road is completely impassable as we speak today and the Assistant Minister has indicated that they have awarded a tender of Kshs10 million for repairs. How can he communicate to the people so that they are aware that there is such information, and more importantly, could he confirm that that money ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this project is located in a region, and the communities around that place are really challenged in terms of supporting their students to go to secondary schools and universities. Though the Assistant Minister has indicated that they only receive Kshs45 million, could he inform the House what exactly he is doing to ensure that he supports fully as many students as possible from that region to access secondary and university education? Could he consider giving Kshs10 million for scholarships and bursaries, so that that community can be uplifted? view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity that you have given me to contribute to this very important Bill. Listening to my colleagues and reading this Bill, I am tempted to say that I wish that it was even assented to yesterday and not tomorrow. This is because issues of land and environment have been with us, and have been a great problem to this country. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have been talking about land grabbing in this country; people grab land because they know they can easily run away with it. When we will have courts that go up to the county dealing specifically with land issues, some of these people will actually not dare try to grab land. The land dispute cases are so many in this country, and there is a lot of backlog that has led most Kenyans today to go to their local people and try to agree at that level; in most cases this attracts a lot of corruption. view
