• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Hon. Members will also recall that the Government has removed tax on rural telecommunication infrastructure projects as an incentive to investors to venture into view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have dealt with this Question adequately in previous sessions. I want to assure the Member for North Horr that I also come from an area which is partly covered by telephone services and another area which is not covered. A Motion was passed in this House, through the Kenya Communications Amendment Act last year. This is the provision of the Universal Subscriber Service Obligation Fund that will give these telephone service providers a chance to invest. It is a process. First, a survey and mapping must be done. Then there is budgeting and ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it depends on how fast the survey, mapping and budgeting will be done. The people who are doing it are the telephone service providers. It is not the Ministry. We have urged them to take advantage of the incentives we have given them, so that they can roll out their programme. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not very sure of what the hon. Member is saying. We passed the Amendment Act last year. We are now in the process of rolling out the programmes. I wish to request if the hon. Member can avail himself to my office, so that he can walk to the relevant service provider and request to know how far his programme has reached. That will, probably, satisfy the hon. Member view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to share some insights with hon. Members. Allow me from the onset, to support this Vote of the Ministry. Allow me also to take hon. Members through the Republic of Kenya. I believe Kenya is a great county with great people and great resources. There is nothing that we lack in this country. The only thing we lack is management. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my previous discipline, I managed to traverse the whole of this country. Allow me to take you through a tour of this ... view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you come from Garissa towards the coast, we have many other seasonal streams. We have River Tana which is a major river. As you come towards Mombasa, you will find the Sabaki River. Of course, the sea is just next there with enormous volumes of water. If you go Kwale, you will find the Ramisi River which emanates from Shimba Hills. Next are the Kyulu Hills from where other view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving this chance to contribute to this Motion. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: The environment and man have never been separable because the environment is not just a resource but a valuable asset. One thing I have learnt is that economic development or what I may call economic dynamic balance cannot be achieved if the interaction between the human dynamic balance and the natural resource dynamic balance are not proper. The human dynamic balance has three very critical components; the social, spiritual and the political. Basically, you cannot disconnect these three components. If you are looking at it from that angle, you can never disconnect the dynamics of man and the dynamics of ... view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: The failure of man is aligning himself with resources. That is the biggest failure and that is why we are not arriving anywhere towards economic development. Every day we think the economy is the main thing and even in Vision 2030, the focus is economics. All countries are looking at economics, they are not thinking about the interaction between the man and the resources. Allow me to say that we have failed as leaders. The leadership has failed because they have failed to align resources and the man. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Having said that, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have observed very clearly that there is a disconnect between the Government, the institution of governance and the local man. The person being seen as between the two is the hon. Member. If we look at the institutions that are out there connecting the activities of the local people and the Ministry, there is none. There is no link between the Government, the Ministry and the person; that individual in the village. You only see a District Forest Officer and his security personnel. All they do is to arrest loggers and people ... view
