25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the explanation from the Assistant Minister. My concern is about environment and human misuse of the chemical that is applied to destroy the army worms. Could he tell the House what kind of chemical his Ministry is using to destroy the army worms and also tell us whether the use of this chemical is to the detriment of human beings and livestock?

25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Supplementary Budget has question marks, but I stand to support it, because I would like to see the Government functioning. If you cut the arm that feeds you, you will starve to death. There are constraints that this Budget has carried, probably because of unprofessional economics or because of oversights. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the expenditure summary on the Recurrent Vote, I am completely betrayed to see that the Ministry of Defence is underestimated. One can stand on the Floor of the House and say that Kenya is not at war and, therefore, ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The figures we have are exaggerated. So, if I go with what you have said, with all due respect, I will be undermining my thoughts. My school of thought will also be undermined greatly.

25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a Recurrent Supplementary Estimate. It is self explanatory. From what we are seeing, this country cannot develop due to lack of money. We had a Budget; why do we need to have Supplementary Estimates? It is because of the failure of the main Budget. If we had budgeted correctly, we would not have any deficit. If those who worked on the main Budget had a vision for this country, we would not have a calamity like the drought. What has been said by Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o is true. However, instead of opposing the Supplementary Estimates, I ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Minister, I have a document here which would have helped the court to expedite the conclusion of this matter. This is the certificate of incorporation, issued by the Registrar of Societies on the 27th March, 1996. This document was only received by a clerk at the Registrar's office, and it was not signed by the senior registrar to legalise the position of the order. I would like to lay it on the Table as evidence to show that the process has taken too long.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answers being given by the Assistant Minister, there are stalled water projects countrywide. Kimilili Water Project was initiated by the Government to the tune of Kshs16.5 million. In 1977 this project was abandoned on political grounds. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell this House how he will revive all those water projects which will benefit the public.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to involve the Ministry of Local Government in the housing saga in the urban centres when we know very well that, those slums stand on individual parcels of land? The owners have title deeds! They are supposed to build proper houses for those tenants!
