• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Question is about enforcing the law. In fact, I border with the Minister; a place where children are going to dig our gold instead of going to school. On Lake Turkana, they are also going fishing and smoking fish instead of going to school. The question that Mr. Nyambati asked for Kisii is similar to the Turkana County. What is he going to do to ensure compliance with the law, so that the children do not work and instead they must go to school? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a fairly straight forward Question and I am sure the Leader of Government Business must be having an answer if the Minister is not present. The Question is about a poor Kenyan to whom the Minister promised to pay some money in 2009 and up to now, there is delay. Is that fair? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought the Leader of Government Business or any other Minister could answer the Question. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the international requirements are that when you have a project like the five the Assistant Minister has mentioned and particularly, the Lake Turkana Power Project which is supposed to generate 310 megawatts--- the benefits from that carbon trading are supposed to benefit the communities for purposes of preserving the environment. How much of that carbon credit has actually gone to the communities alongside where the Lake Turkana Power Project exists? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister is fully aware that justice delayed is justice denied. This is a matter that took place on 4th of January, 2011; that is last year. Today is 8th May, 2012. He is now pleading with this House to give him more time. How much more time does he need to apprehend the killers of these people? We all know the attacks are going on in Garissa. This means the more time he is requesting, more people will be killed. When will he apprehend the killers so that you can stop further ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: It is on the same, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The problem is when one hon. Member asks a particular one and there are issues pertinent to it, then it is only good for the Chair to get all the possibilities so that the Chair can make a serious considered ruling. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: In that regard, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as hon. Khalwale raised issues on the Division of Revenue and County Allocation Bills, there is also another fund where the CRA is mandated, and that is the Equalization Fund. Article 216(4) says: “The Commission shall determine, publish and regularly review a policy in which its sets out the criteria by which to identify the marginalised areas for purposes of Article 204(2).” view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: That Article specifies the kind of areas that should be considered. It also defines the period in which that Equalisation Fund will be effected - which is a period of 20 years. For now, we have already eaten into the two years which is basically reducing the period provided by the Constitution. We would like the Chair to consider for purposes of the mandate of CRA on that particular aspect. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm that I can be patient but the Assistant Minister should assure me that there are no more killings because there is another eminent raid about to occur. view
