• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support this very important Motion on the Vote for the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. This Ministry is a very important one. It is one Ministry which can make this country go in either the right direction or the wrong direction. It is charged with the national development and planning policy. It is charged with the provision of the leadership of the national economic policy management of this country. It is, therefore, a very critical Ministry. For that reason, it is important ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ol Kalou Constituency is one of the constituencies in Nyandarua District just like Kinangop. I am glad the Minister has accepted and admitted that we have been marginalised and he is going to classify the roads so that we can be at the level of the other classified roads in the country. However, that is not enough. Could he give us an assurance that, after classification, there will be an affirmative action to bring us to the same level with other areas where roads have been classified and have enjoyed the support and funding from the ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, we have no problem with the undertaking by the hon. Minister. We know that he is a very fair and capable Minister. But just this morning, we had a question of roads. Most of our roads in Nyandarua are not classified. We were told that they would be October 15, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2791 classified so that we can get funding. Classifying them means that we get to the same level with other people in the country. I would like to ask, what affirmative action will be taken so that we can climb up to the rest of ... view
• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this important Motion for Adjournment. Those of us who came here in January and took our work seriously know that there is a lot of work in this House. On Mondays, we have Committee meetings. On Tuesday morning, there is also a Committee meeting. On Tuesday, we have a sitting in the afternoon. Also, on Wednesday, we sit the whole day. Also, we sit for the whole day on Thursday. It is only weekends when we get time to dash out there. We cannot really achieve much to the extent that ... view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the financial institutions that have been disbursing this money have different conditions. Could the Minister consider giving to the banks uniform rules, so that women groups can access this money wherever they are in this country? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I was contributing to the Vote of the Ministry of Energy. I commended the Minister for Energy for the plans that he has to accelerate not only the distribution of energy, but also its generation. Energy is one of the movers of the economy. Energy is so critical for health, especially to dispensaries, health centres and hospitals which must have fridges to store drugs. I also said that most of our schools require electricity if we have to improve the time our students have to study and if they have to use computers. It is for ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this very important Motion. It is a Motion that addresses matters of security in this country, the Judiciary and the poor in our society that do all the work. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, without the village elders, there is a big disconnect between the Government and the general population. If you look at the population today - about 35 million Kenyans - and the one that was there in 1963 when we attained our Independence, it has grown so many times. The chiefs are not able to keep track of ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Munya is saying that I look for the budget. I would like to draw the attention of hon. Members to the fact that I am not the Minister for Finance yet. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that the Government uses a lot of money in paying other people even in fighting corruption. If you look at the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), how much money has been spent by this body? How much money is spent by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) which is funded from taxpayers' money? How much money is spent by parastatals that have gone down with public money? Those bodies are not more important than the community village elders that help our people to bring harmony. They help our people to live together. They also ... view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this important Motion on the Ministry of Energy. First of all, I would like to say that just like Ministry of Roads, this is one of the most important Ministries, because it is one of the drivers of the economy. If we look at education, it relies a lot on electricity supplied to schools, so that they are able to use computers and also study into the late hours. It is important to have energy in health centres and dispensaries in order for them to store drugs instead of having such ... view
