• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you come from North Eastern and you know as much as I do that you only see tarmacked roads when you get out of your province. How many of these new roads are in Kitui County? How many are in Turkana? How many are in Coast Province? These pieces of infrastructure have been concentrated in certain areas. The President has a few months to redress this, at least by starting projects in these areas, so that we can see them. But he, his Ministers and Government stand accused. I serve in this Government and I have ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, I wish that will be taken note of. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Road B7 (Kibwezi-Kitui) in Kitui County is the only “B” category road in this Republic that is not tarmacked, yet they are tarmacking category “D” and “E” roads elsewhere! I am very bitter man when it comes to infrastructure. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, we had a lot of rains here. I watched as water was passing through the streets; all going to the Indian Ocean. The rains that we had last night, if harnessed, can irrigate this nation for several years. But that water is going to the ocean, yet the Minister for Water and Irrigation says: “I am giving water to the Republic of Kenya.” Where is the water? Why is water being allowed to go to the ocean when people cannot even irrigate their farms? Why are people in Kenya going hungry even when the rains ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member for Turkana South has talked about oil discovery in his constituency. We applaud this and also want to say that there are many other minerals that have been discovered. In Kitui County, two weeks ago, I led a group of my constituents to go and examine coal mining in China. This is because it is planned that coal mining will start in my constituency in two years. We have iron ore and other minerals. We want legislation and revenue sharing to be clearly defined, so that in those areas that incidentally have been marginalized ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President talks about the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and Women Enterprise Development Fund. In my opinion, these funds exist and benefit only certain people. I am yet to see youth and women in my constituency who have benefited from these funds. Therefore, I think that there is something missing in the administration and distribution of these funds. There is even another fund where the elderly are given money. It started many years ago as a pilot project and is still being piloted. The elderly are wondering because they hear that old people in certain areas ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is not the tradition of this House for a Member of Parliament to raise issues concerning another constituency, when the sitting Member is there. I say that because Mr. K. Kilonzo, as hon. Members are aware, brought people in buses to this Parliament to demonstrate for my constituency. I would like you to rule it out of order. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. K. Kilonzo is inciting my constituents! He has been inciting my constituents against me. After that day, he took them to Uhuru Park where he feted them and gave them money. As far as I am aware, my constituents have no problem. I am a popularly elected Member of Parliament with more votes than Mr. K. Kilonzo and he cannot claim to represent my people in this House, when they elected me. Therefore, if you look at page 23, you will see that there are issues concerning Mutito Constituency. Why can ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to oppose this amendment. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want also to disabuse the notion that any constituency was cancelled. These are the facts. My constituency is called Mwingi South. It was called Mwingi South when there were only two constituencies, namely, Mwingi North and Mwingi South. Now, what the IEBC did was to change the name of Mwingi South, which is my constituency to be called Mwingi West. The reason is that it starts from Mwingi Town to the west towards Machakos District. The new constituency, which is purported to have been cancelled, it is not cancelled, but it is only that its name ... view
