• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will ignore it. My question is, now that the Ministry has branded Mt. Elgon a national park, and one of the international wildlife attractions, what steps is he taking, apart from allocating Kshs9 million for only four kilometres? This is a very important area. We are in the process of expanding the national park from what it is to 485 square kilometres. What is the Ministry going to give us so that the headquarters at Mt. Elgon National Park has communications facilities and power and attracts tourists? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just recently during the branding, this Ministry promised to extend the runway of Mt. Elgon National Park Airstrip at a cost of Kshs 2 billion. You cannot have landing rights unless there is electricity. How quickly is he going to provide electricity to Mt. Elgon National Park before he starts extending the runway for the safety of aircraft? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are talking about professionalism. I was one of the Members of the Kenyan delegation that went to Spain but I May 2, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1083 would like to make a correction. The vessel that we had in Kenya was an oceanographic vessel. There is a difference between a national oceanographic vessel and a defence frigate. On our trip we discovered that the vessel that had been misconstrued to be a replica of a navy vehicle was a real frigate. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am conversant with ship building, having gone through my profession oversees on learning boating skills and seamanship, which I acquired. I have pictures of the vessel that we saw, which I can lay on the Table of the House. It is a real frigate that our Kenya Navy had ordered. This vessel was inspected by one of our own officers, Lt. Col. Kituku of the Kenya Navy. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can have a look at it. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the same one. I took the initiative of taking pictures for the sake of the doubting Thomases. The team that investigated and was taken round by the Ocean Marines, comprised of Lt. Col. Kituku, Capt. Davies, one of the directors of Ocean Marines, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry, Maj. Madoka and one of our Ambassadors who is based in Paris, France, because we do not have an Embassy in Spain. We are looking at bi-lateral relations. It may surprise this House to know that by the time we had a meeting with the owners of this ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: We do not take issues to the Press. This was a copied replica of a ship when they heard of the Anglo Leasing scandal. However, we have to understand this: How was the procurement done? Let that be dealt with here at home. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the other hand, that ship in the high seas is moored on a river. We have a problem, leave alone payment of the demurrage charges. We have undergrowth and marine stuff that clings to the bottom of the ship. That will also need clearing. Why do we not have our personnel? ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute on this Motion. I also thank Mr. Oloo-Aringo for introducing the Motion in this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, education in our country needs a total overhaul. There is a lot of overlap in the education system. This has created enormous lapses in grading students. When you look at children from primary schools sitting comprehensive examination and then we abolished the other examination after standard eight, this created a very big gap in education. In the past, a form six student went directly to the ... view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Science and Technology the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the library of Kitale Technical Training Institute was burnt by a few students on the night of 13th February, 2007? (b) Is he further aware that there are students who are due to sit for their exams in May, 2007 and have no books and other reading materials to help them prepare for the exams? (c) What urgent measures is the Minister taking to ensure that innocent students preparing for their May, 2007 exams ... view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must applaud the Assistant Minister for that 968 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2007 answer but this is a Government institute. Kitale Technical Training College was founded by the Government. It is appalling for the Assistant Minister to say that there are no funds set aside to equip the library and other subsistence supplies to enable this college to continue. This college was supposed to be a constituent college of Moi University. Is the Assistant Minister telling this House that they have no money to rebuild the library and hence the students will not have any ... view
