• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Let me just go to the community level programme committees. We have locational committees which are formed through participatory process by community members in community barazas and they are facilitated by the District Social Development Officer.

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I will start with the question by hon. Peter Shehe. I quite agree that one vehicle in a county is not sufficient. I think that is something we can follow up with the Ministry concerned, so that additional vehicles are purchased.

It is something that is widespread but it is something that we can follow up, especially in the constituencies that are vast. Not all constituencies are of the same size, some ... view

They demonstrated to us ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Kshs.2,000. Hon. Onesmus wanted to know more about this problem of caretakers. I do not know how that can be sorted out. However, the problem we had in the 2013/2014 Financial Year was that money was delayed. The money was released nearly towards the end of the financial year. So, if Members who had been shortlisted were not getting their money, it is true that it had not been released. We insisted that the money could not be released until we formed the constituency committees. It is after that, that money was released. That was about one or two months ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On hon. Sambili’s problem, I think this is something that can be taken care of by the Ministry. We can also assist you in finding out when the amount will be paid to the remaining 80 beneficiaries and why people from other constituencies are paid in your constituency. view
