• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: (g) the Minister should further update this House and the nation on the current status of the referral hospital. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I come from that area. This case is very serious. What I am asking for is what is readily available to the Minister at a call. Would I be in order to request that this is done or delivered by Wednesday, otherwise I was going to request for Tuesday? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 24th March, 2011, hon. Jeremiah Kioni laid a Petition on behalf of the parents of the Aga Khan Primary School which stood committed to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. When we embarked on this very important issue, some other issues arose which required my Committee to seek legal interpretation. We sent this to the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee which ended up tabling the report to our Committee last week. My Committee is now in the process of inquiring into the issue. My request on behalf of the Committee is to seek your ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of IDPs in this country has been coming every other time. Yesterday, the Minister indicated that 90 per cent of them have been resettled but on record, they have approximately over 8,000 still awaiting resettlement. The reasons behind that are: One, the Ministry of Lands is in charge of buying land. Two, the Ministry of Finance is in charge of giving money and three, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes is in charge of resettlement; meaning they are not working together. The Minister has indicated that some of the people who are actually suffering ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, shortage of teachers in this country is a serious problem. Our public schools are not performing as well as the private schools. Every year, every time we ask the Ministry to post more teachers, they claim they have requested Treasury for money. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House how much he has requested for in this financial year to employ how many teachers, so that this House can take him seriously and assist him to get the number of teachers that he needs? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you watch the Turkana's, most of them carry guns. When you ask them why they do that, they say that they are trying to defend themselves because the Government has failed to defend them. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has indicated here that they have increased the number of police or that they intend to increase the number of police and deploy the army at the border. How many police officers are actually being deployed here or how many are they going to deploy soon? Could he confirm that the Turkana’s now feel safe as citizens of this country? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the revelations being made before this House are very serious. Members of the Merille community are in Kenya illegally, and they can afford to attack Kenyans and move back to their places of stay, which are within Kenya, and the Prime Minister can afford to tell this House that the Government was helpless. Is he in order to tell Kenyans that the Government is too helpless to protect Kenyans, who are being attacked by foreigners within Kenyan territory? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point or order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I agree with the Prime Minister, I asked him whether the Turkanas feel safe as we speak today. Is he in order to avoid answering that question? view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the Minister’s action that for as long as they are still in IDP camps she will continue giving them food and the Ministry of Lands is concerned with resettlement; now that it forces the Minister to continue giving them food, what is she doing to ensure that the Ministry of Land gets land to resettle these people and, therefore, she does not continue to give them food, unless she has bottomless amount of food in this country? view
