• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is actually not making it clear how these tranches are normally distributed. As far I am concerned, the first tranches of bursary funds are always sent out around February/March, with the second tranche around July/August. Last year, only one tranche was dispatched. The second tranche which was supposed to be around August never reached the constituencies. What is he doing to ensure that that second tranche also gets to the constituencies? view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House that the Minister who seems to know what he does, does not know what he has told this House? view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister has already indicated that the study on Lake Baringo Basin has shown a potential of 200 megawatts of power. When will the Ministry put a drill on that basin to start exploiting the potential? view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like also to support the Motion of Adjournment. From what the first contributor to this Motion has said and the proposers to the Motion, the House has done a lot and we are fatigued and would have been at home like yesterday. But I would like to appeal to hon. Members that, as we go home, I want to support the fact that, we should ask our constituents to discuss the Harmonized Draft of the Constitution with a lot of caution because we have to understand that this country is for all ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like to wish all hon. Members and their families a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister is still avoiding the Question. The works that were actually designed by the Ministry have not been done. The culverts were not cleared, the shoulders were not addressed. Could we hear from the Assistant Minister how Kshs84,680,615 was spent on that stretch of the road, because already this road has very big gaping holes in less than three months? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Mombasa, the crossing from the island to the North Coast also used to be linked by a pontoon bridge which was dismantled. At the present time, the congestion from the island to the North Coast makes movement almost impossible. What is the Ministry doing to reintroduce the pontoon bridge linking the island to the North Coast? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to thank the hon. Ephraim Maina for the timely introduction of this Bill because this is really one of the most important Bills. It is what I would term, “the Bill for the people”. It is sad that in Kenya, we have many families who cannot afford even one meal a day for their families. Of course, if this continues, you understand that it is a situation that can easily result into a revolution, because a hungry population is a very ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: A famous African, the late Julius Kambarage Nyerere, once termed this country as “a man eat man society”. Even at the present time, we are still “a man eat man society” because we do not really care about the condition and position of our poor at all. Maybe, it is a time when one would even wish that a situation like small revolution may be able to pass the warning. Perhaps, that would be a wake-up call for this country. I would like to see this price control brought in like yesterday. I ask the Government to fully support it. view
