• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am still not satisfied. From the Minister’s answer, it is like my people have not been clearing their bills, yet this water company has been collecting Kshs600,000 from my people every month. So, when they fail to pay the electricity bill, whose responsibility is it? Is it for the people of Nyakach or the Ministry which introduced the management of the water project in my constituency? view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that many eligible candidates for the 2011 national examinations have not obtained birth certificates? (b) Could the Minister extend the registration deadline by three more months (i.e. up to the end of June 2011) to allow all the eligible candidates to acquire the document and register for the examinations? view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, failure by parents to obtain birth certificates for their children is not their own making. On several occasions, the Ministry responsible for the issuance of these certificates have run short of materials. That is why parents were not able to obtain these documents in good time. Last year, I remember the Minister for Education extended the registration deadline to 30th June, 2010. Why can the Assistant Minister not do the same this time round so that every eligible candidate can register? view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the answer given by the Assistant Minister, the deadline for registration is actually tomorrow and yet so many candidates have not obtained these certificates. The deadline for submitting birth certificates is on 31st May, 2011. Could the Assistant Minister consider once more – I am pleading with him – to extend the registration to 31st May, 2011 if he cannot extend it to 30th June, 2011? view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am only concerned about the period within which the certificate is supposed to be issued. Two weeks is too long. Could the Assistant Minister consider reducing the period to seven working days? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this kind of death of fish has just happened for the first time. Has the Minister tried to identify who in the Mara region use this chemical to spray their wheat and which drains into the rivers causing the death of fish? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us what they are trying to do on some of these vehicles which emit very thick smoke while moving on the roads? What control measures have they put in place to make sure that these vehicles do not emit thick smoke? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this economy to grow even more, we need to operationalise the 24-hour economy. To do this, we need proper security in this country, so that we can go about doing our business throughout 24 hours. What is the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security doing to install surveillance cameras everywhere within the City and other Cities within the country, so that security is enhanced? view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) whether he could provide the original design of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) “Line 1 Capacity Enhancement Project” (Mombasa-Nairobi Petroleum Product Pipeline) and state which firm won the tender for the project; (b) under what circumstances the tender was split into four (4), who authorized the split and at what point; and, (c) whether consultants were involved prior to the advertisement and subsequent awarding of the tender and, if so, whether he could provide documentary evidence of the same. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, the way the contract was awarded was not procedural. I want to believe that the cost of petroleum products in this country has risen because of such shoddy kind of contracting exercises. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether the size of the pipeline from Kipevu to Pumping Station No.1 was ever increased from 6 inches to 12 inches? view
