• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has just admitted to us that he was getting more information to answer the Question. So, how does he beg to reply? Either he asks for more time to get the information--- view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. I want also to thank him for the good job they are doing there. This is one project that should really help in more ways than one. The dam is in the Pokot County and the power generation plant is within the Turkana County. We were expecting that this project would actually bring the two communities closer than it is doing now. In fact, it is causing more conflicts among these communities. He says the plant is generating Kshs900 million per annum, but only Kshs45 million ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s response, is he in order to actually evade answering my question in terms of giving support both to the Pokot and Turkana counties on the basis that they are in charge of the dam, which happens to be in one county? I am dealing with the Government. I am not dealing with sectarian issues here. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know my people are starving and I would like more Members to ask supplementary questions on my Question. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one project we thought was coming to help us, but as we speak now, people are fighting every day over limited resources. The Minister in charge of internal security is seated next to the Assistant Minister and I hope he will help. The matter that is more fundamental to us is that we expect this Ministry, through KVDA, to be able to allocate a particular amount of money to each of the counties – Pokot County and Turkana County. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House why he has decided not to be giving ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to go on record that if the proceeds from KVDA and Turkwel Project, both power and the dam can help any community of Kenya, including the Pokot, I will be happier. However, I want to go on record that this dam is in the Pokot County and the power project is in Turkana County. That is the official record. It is wrong for another Member to mislead the House and persistently so. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just seeking your direction when Question such us this one which is specific in nature comes to the Floor of the House---- view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Suba is one of those pockets of poverty in Nyanza just like the rest of the ASAL areas. The Government gazetted Suba as a hardship area early 2010. We are in August, 2011. Are you satisfied as the Chair that these negotiations that failed for over one and half years, can be finished within four weeks? What undertaking are we taking from the Assistant Minister, so that teachers of Suba cannot continue to suffer more hardship than already the environment has provided to them? view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to congratulate the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons, the hon. Kajwang, for bringing this Bill to the House although as we have always said, when Bills come to the House too late in the day, you do not expect us to do a lot of work on them. The Minister has been there since 2008. These are things he should have done before. Knowing where he comes from, as a man with serious reform credentials, this Bill should have come like yesterday. Now that the Bill is here, ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I was just looking at the provisions of this Bill, and I saw the rights and duties of a citizen in Part IV. I note with pride that he has also made it mandatory for every Kenyan citizen to protect and conserve the environment and ensure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is where hon. Orengo was looking at when he said that hon. Kajwang has borrowed from the best practice in the world. These are issues which are not very clear to the Kenyan people. Where I come from, ... view
