• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House applauds Eng. Karue for introducing the CDF in this country. The CDF has far-reaching benefits for this country. The Government has always found it difficult to revolve funds and, therefore, the CDF is the only way of revolving the national cake to the common man. Thank you. view
• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili niunge mkono Hoja hii kuhusu sera ya vijana. Shida za vijana zinatokana na mpango mbaya ambao ulikuweko kuanzia zamani. Mambo haya hayakuanza mwaka huu au miaka miwili au mitatu iliyopita. Ukiangazia jamii kama ya kutoka Bara Asia, mtoto akihitimu umri wa kusoma, baba yake anamfunza hesabu ya biashara. Hivyo, basi, mtoto huyo anakua akiwa anajua hesabu inayohusu biashara. Leo tumeleta Sera ya kutenga pesa zitakazopewa vijana ili wajimudu. Je, tunawafundisha vijana wetu kuvua samaki ama tunawapatia samaki? Ikiwa tunataka kuwafundisha wajue kuvua samaki, ni lazima wajue urefu wa ndoano ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if what the Assistant Minister is telling this House is true, then I presume that the Nairobi City Council is under the Ministry of Local Government. We know very well that land is allocated by councillors in this country. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether it is true that he is the one who allocates land in municipalities or it is the Ministry of Local Government through the councillors? view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of compensation for a person who 4418 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 11, 2007 has been wrongfully killed is the responsibility of the Government. How does the Pensions Department come in? This was a civil servant who was erroneously killed. The question of compensation lies in the hands of the Government which should pay the equivalent of Kshs60 billion to the dependants of the deceased, so that they can benefit from it. This is because we do not know whether this man was going to live for 100 years. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Maralal Bus Park Project is not the only stalled project. The Ministry of Local Government has a hidden agenda. All over the country, the Ministry has run into a political system where it is initiating projects that it is not completing. They say that they have a tendering system at the Ministry headquarters. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell us the methodology used at the Ministry to tender and procure for projects in the local authorities. This should include the purchase of a second-hand grader in Trans Nzoia Municipality. This is preposterous! view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard what the Assistant Minister has said. When two bulls fight, it is the grass that suffers. In that case, could the Assistant Minister tell us whether the instigators of that violence have been dealt with? Could they be named in this House? Nobody can just leave his house and go and cause mayhem and stone passers-by, unless there is an instrumental insider. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether he has dealt with those planners, designers or architects of that mayhem? view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs for his eloquent answers. He has gone Biblical. But the issue of primates is not confined in the national parks alone. On the riparian, we have monkeys and baboons. They are a total disgrace to large-scale farmers, especially those who grow maize and bananas. What plans does the KWS have to contain the situation to prevent the wanton destruction of crops by these primates? view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Motion is very important in terms of enhancement and improvement of education. However, before I go on, I would like to highlight a few things that the HELB has to take into account. Currently, in order to maintain a university student, one requires over US$23,000. That is a lot of money. In the past years, the HELB gave money to students and assured them of employment. The revolving fund system that was set up was intended to help students who join university as freshmen. The Government used to offer the graduands a ... view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: or devolvement of Government services. I do not see how well the Government can increase districts when at the same time money is being channelled to constituencies. I think it is better for us to increase the number of constituencies and devolve this money to the constituency level, so that the students can benefit. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all along, the experience has been that children who are raised in cities and urban centres are closer to the HELB headquarters. This means that they are the best suited students to be considered for the loans because they know when ... view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not quote from the document. I will quote from my own encyclopedia in the head. It is a fact that there is a lot of disparity when it comes to uplifting the girl child education. This starts right from Class One to university. When you look at the girls who are pursuing medicine, their number is ultra vires . When you look at the number of girls who are pursuing law degrees, you will find that the ratio of girls to boys is 1:20. These children are being discouraged because they come from ... view
