• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology:- (a) whether he could explain to the House the criteria used in identifying the regions that have benefitted from the establishment of eight new national polytechnics; and, (b) how the Ministry intends to cater for such regions as Nyakach in Central Nyanza which were not considered. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answers given by the Assistant Minister is a bit misleading because in his answer, he says that they were considering one institution in each province. But if you go through this list, you will find that Meru Technical Training Institute and Machakos Technical Training Institute are both from Eastern Province. Sigalagala Technical Training Institute and Kitale Technical Training Institute are in Western Province. So, is he really correct in telling us that they considered one institution per province? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has confirmed that the money is actually lying at the DC’s office in Mombasa. Could he table evidence that the money is actually there? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister now confirm to the people of Nyakach that in the next financial year, the Ministry will establish a technical institute in the constituency? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the MP for Ainamoi to complain about infrastructure and insinuate that lack of infrastructure is what causes cattle rustling, while I know that Ainamoi has good infrastructure and grows tea, but his people continue to steal animals from my constituency? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is not telling us the truth. Last night in my constituency, Nyakach, two women were seriously hurt by cattle rustlers. So, he has to admit that this problem is still with us and the Ministry has been unable to tame that problem. Is he in order to mislead this House that the problem has been tamed? view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Members are consulting so loudly that we cannot follow what the Assistant Minister is saying. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Assistant Minister mentioning here that he gave a directive that by 30th June, 2010 all the outstanding pension funds for the staff of various municipalities must be cleared. I remember he gave a directive in this House when I raised a similar Question for employees of Nyando and Kisumu county councils, but up to now the various local authorities have not been able to pay those beneficiaries. Could he further confirm that he stands by his word? view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is confirming that they have given some little money for some little repairs on that particular road. I was on that road three weeks ago. The kinds of repairs that are being carried on right now are very shoddy. Is he aware that the repairs that are being done are so shoddy? Can he confirm that fact? view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, cattle rustling is a very serious problem even in my own constituency in Nyakach where I have lost 12 lives from the beginning of this year. Actually, it goes up to Nyando and Muhoroni. We are losing lives almost fortnightly. What tangible plans does the Minister have to stamp out this problem once and for all? This is a very small problem according to me if you compare it with the cattle rustling that is taking place in Isiolo, Samburu and Turkana. view
