On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had requested a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Special Programmes relating to victims of floods in the country. The Minister was meant to deliver the Statement today but I do not see anybody from that Ministry. Could you give direction?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it right for the Minister to come here and claim that the Minister is on the ground visiting the victims yet I have not seen her visiting my constituency where 2,000 people have been sleeping out in the cold for the last two weeks?

asked the Minister of State for Special Programmes:- (a) whether she could state to the House how many people have died in each district in the country due to famine since 2009; (b) to state what the food deficit in the country is since 2009; (c) what measures she will take to ensure that residents of Nyakach Constituency, who are adversely affected by the prolonged drought, are provided with sufficient relief food.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nyakach has been receiving relief food since time immemorial because of the drought. I wonder why the Assistant Minister has denied on the Floor of the House that this time round, they will only do it when the need arises. I can table documents from his office to indicate how we have been receiving relief food on a monthly basis for the last three years. Could he confirm that there is something that has gone wrong in his Ministry and that is why they cannot give us food?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has talked about a very huge deficit in maize stocks. What does he intend to do to bridge that gap? It is very huge.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Energy the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What is the cause of the current shortage of LPG (cooking gas) in the country? (b) What urgent steps is the Ministry taking to address the situation?

6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister explain to us what is the current demand of that particular product all over the country? At the same time, why do we have that abnormal increase in the price of that particular product? Why has it become so expensive all of a sudden?
view
6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have heard, this Question has generated a lot of interest from hon. Members. We realized that the demand started shooting over the supply in the 90s up to now. The Government has never thought it fit to even have a storage facility for that particular product. Does it mean that it is trying to promote the greedy traders who keep on cashing in on the shortage of that product?
