• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, It is not my intention to argue either with the Chair or the Leader of Government Business. It is on record that the Prime Minister, who is a Member of the Government, said that he was not consulted in this. If that is the case, it means the issue of collective responsibility would not arise because even the Prime Minister said that he was not aware. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you will appreciate, the hon. Member has requested a statement which is very loaded. Therefore, we will require substantial time to be able to respond to each of the issues that he has raised. I, therefore, request the indulgence of the Chair and the House that we get not less than three weeks in which to provide this Statement. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to utilize these two minutes by saying that I fully support the Vote of the Ministry of Medical Services. This is one Ministry which is facing many challenges. My heart goes to the staff who work out there under very difficult conditions. Any hospital must have some basic things. It must have an X-ray unit, a doctor, a technologist and an ambulance. However, our hospitals lack all those things. I want to urge that, that be considered because some of those hospitals exist only by name. The Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) is ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise here to support this Motion. First, may I take this opportunity to congratulate my good friend the Minister for the appointment to this key Ministry. I have worked with the Minister for many years in the public service. I can say with confidence that she is up to the task and this Ministry is in very good hands. Having said that, let me decry the problems that we encounter in our constituencies. When I was a young boy, and I am not very young now, I used to see Agricultural Extension ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just talked about the bumper harvest. This bumper harvest as you know, because your constituency is involved, went into waste because of aflatoxin. This happened because the Ministry did not advise farmers on the right way to store maize. Therefore, we ended up losing all that. If the Ministry had done something better by ensuring that farmers handled their crop properly, we would not be in that mess. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, let me touch on the issue of the price of maize. Maize is being sold at Kshs1,500 per bag. ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset I support the Motion. I want to join my colleagues in applauding the Office of the President particularly the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. A lot of work has been done. Those of us who started from the early days in the Provincial Administration can say with authority that a lot has been done in transforming this nation into one that can feel proud and secure. The Provincial Administration has come a long way. We want to applaud the recent creation of additional districts, divisions and locations. ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could you restrain my good friends in this House because I cannot make my contribution properly? view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was talking about accommodation. We want to see proper offices for these officers. It does not augur well for a DC to live behind a lodging somewhere or perform his or her duties in an old chief’s office simply because the location became the district. We want offices to be built that will match the position of these officers. I am encouraged because I know some money has been made available under this Budget to put up some district headquarters. Another component of the Office of the President is the Internal Security. We ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am humbled to have been requested to second this Motion. I, therefore, wish to confirm that I support it. Vote 03 - Ministry of State for Public Service is seconded by me. The public service is the engine of any Government. The success of any Government depends on the ability of the Public Service to deliver services. Let me therefore, emphasize that when we stand and praise the work done by the Government, we are not doing it for the sake of it. I for one would call a spade a spade. While seconding this ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I want to say I support Vote 30 - Ministry of Energy, very strongly. Many of my colleagues have talked about rural electrification. Again, I want to echo those words by saying that they have done a great job and I want to ask them to continue. There is a little bit of a problem. The previous speaker talked about wires, wires with no electricity. I think we have a lot of projects that are completed by contractors but they are not connected because there are no transformers and so forth. In ... view
