• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing is that this 15 per cent funding is--- view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why can some NGOs not be closed if they are not wanted? When you say that only 15 per cent should come from outside, basically you are strangling NGOs and you want them to die a natural death. So, instead of that, it is better to deal with the few NGOs which bring problems. We get money from the donors who have been supporting us. North eastern region is marginalised and does not have even a kilometre of tarmac road, electricity and access to basic services; people there have been surviving through the grace of ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to oppose this Motion. This is a very serious violation of our rights as private Members. Wednesday morning is reserved for Private Members’ business. There is a very bad trend that is appearing that even last Wednesday, the same was done and we accepted it. Doing this again is going to infringe on our rights. There are some Private Members’ Motions that are also lining up. I know time might be an issue, but this is a House of rules and procedures. We are just contravening the rules and procedures of this House. ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Motion for valid reasons. Mr. Mututho might be passionate in fighting alcohol and other drugs; he might have the necessary requirements and be best placed to do the job, but he has also very serious issues of integrity as clearly put in the Report of the Committee. He has criminal and civil suits pending before a court. He was charged with the case whose number is given arising from obtaining Kshs41 million from Kenyatta National Hospital by presenting false documents showing that his company had paid Kshs5 million. Somebody who has cheated ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: ( Loud consultations ) The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support that sections (i) and (j) be deleted, because the role of the national board is clearly to develop guidelines, performance and approve disbursement. So, this role will obviously be for the Committee at the constituency level. Therefore, the suggestion by the Chairman that Sections (i) and (j) be deleted is in order; those two roles will be taken over by the Committee at the constituency level. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to seek you clarification and guidance on this. Under Clause 15 as was moved by the Chairman, we have already amended and said, at least, five representatives from the wards. My confusion is: On these extra slots added for people with disability, I have another amendment for an addition of a female. Does that mean that these are extra to the five or people with disability and a female will be balanced through the five? Will those be extra to the five slots? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this leaves us more confused. Is it possible at the beginning to state that the membership is going to be a certain number and from there, we know that five will be from the wards and one person with disability? The confusion is arising because we do not know the number of membership. In the CDF, at the beginning, it states that there will be “X” number of CDF Committee members. From there, it states the number for the ward, people with disability and gender. view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am not absolutely convinced with the response given because it is superficial. My first question was about why people have not benefited. The reason given that the Council has just been formed is not enough. This is because the USF was put in place as per the Kenya Information Communication Act in 2010. From then on up to now, 2013 we are waiting for the operationalization of this fund. It is true that I found out that the Council was established in March. However, even between March, 2013 and now, November, 2013 it is a long time ... view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, could the Member tell us what the problem is? What is hampering this operationalization? The Fund was established in 2010. The service providers were supposed to pay a certain percentage of their profit in order to cater for the marginalized areas. What is the real problem? He has said that the Committee is now on a retreat to work on the modalities. Could we, please, have timelines within which this Fund will be operationalized? view
