• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have risen to represent my people in particular on matters as important as those in the health sector. Let me start by congratulating the Minister, and her team, for the good work they have been doing in the recent past. I want to particularly mention the fight against tuberculosis, malaria and polio in this country. We have seen this Ministry making concerted efforts to ensure that these diseases are dealt with well. The Minister has been in the forefront, fighting for poor people in our rural areas, particularly in the provision of ... view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for according me this opportunity. I want from the onset to say that I support this Motion. In doing so, I want to say that hon. Members deserve this recess because they have worked very hard. I want to say that unlike what has been reported in the media, that hon. Members work for only 95 days per year, this statement is very erroneous. Hon. Members will be going on recess to do the real work. That is to be with their constituents, and try to solve their problems. I would like to challenge, particularly ... view

• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. It is a mere coincidence that the Member for Mwingi South speaks immediately after the Member for Mwingi North. I would like to thank Prof. Oniang'o for, finally, coming up with a Motion to introduce the National Famine and Drought Management Bill. I say this because the Government has up to now failed to manage famine and drought in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, sad that 43 years after Independence, we are still talking about famine. People are ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very sad that while we are discussing a matter that is so close to the hearts of poor Kenyans, some hon. Members here do not August 2, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2527 think it is serious. The point I was trying to make before I was interrupted is; the resources we have in this country are enough to completely eliminate famine. I was giving an example of the money spent in Mwingi District in the last financial year. If that money was directed to drilling boreholes and providing water, I would not ask any ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I stand here to support this Motion by my good friend, the Minister for Local Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start on a happy note and congratulate the Nairobi City Council because having lived in this city for many years, recently, I have began to see some improvements in certain areas with regard to cleanliness of the city and, particularly, street lighting. I think that when a good job is done, we owe it to those who do it to say: "Thank you". I think ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: and sometimes the hawkers themselves. We must know that hawkers are here to stay. Hawking does not just go on in Nairobi. Even in developed countries hawking is permitted. In this case again, I think the problem is that of management. Therefore, I would like to urge the Minister - whom I know has made some efforts but has not yet quite succeeded - to ensure that hawkers are given their rightful places to do business. He should ensure that, like in the developed world, certain streets are closed over the weekend to allow hawkers to sell their wares. We ... view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want, first of all, to say that I support this Motion. In doing so, let me start by congratulating the Minister for Trade and Industry for being in the forefront in protecting indigenous people of this country in matters relating to trade. I know he has performed very well in WTO negotiations, and in every respect. I know that he has been fighting to ensure that Africans get their fair share in world trade. But, perhaps, closer home, let me congratulate the Minister personally for the action he has ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I must say that I am very sad. The Ministry of Roads and Public Works has, so unfairly, distributed the resources of this country. I am quite sure that the Minister cannot be responsible for this. I say that because I know the Minister. He is a very fair man. I have worked under him as his personal assistant and deputy for many years. He is my mentor. Therefore, I can say with certainty that, this is not the Minister's work. It is very unfairly done! ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I have made an analysis of all the Ministries. I want to say that the Ministry of Roads and Public Works leads in marginalising people in this Republic. From the districts' allocation, look at national and provincial roads; it is very clear where resources have gone. I do not need to repeat. It is very clear! This House should not be taken for granted! That, we sit here to approve proposals for funds to develop certain areas, while other areas languish in poverty and lack of infrastructure. It is happening in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Ministry of Roads ... view
