• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the proposals that the Geothermal Development Corporation gave us, as the Committee on Energy, Communications and Information, they needed 400 megawatts for Menengai project and 2000 megawatts for Bogoria-Silale, which will not only produce the power we need, but also open up part of North Rift. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the amendment and ask hon. Karua to second. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: to ask the Minister for Education:- (a) Is the Minister aware that the roof of the entire block of Lorengippi Primary School in Loima District was blown away by wind thereby forcing pupils to learn in the open under the scorching sun? (b) When will the Government allocate adequate funds to repair the school? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to trivialize an Executive Order by the Head of State? An Executive Order is similar to the one that repossessed the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) by the Head of State who appointed him and when he declared that, he was in the presence of other Heads of States. So, Kisumu City is Kisumu City and cannot be interpreted otherwise! view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As we seek that guidance from the Chair, it is important that the Chair and the Assistant Minister clarify this matter because we know that other PSs are Accounting Officers by virtue of authority given to them by the PS, Treasury. So, the PS, Treasury, has authority to instruct other PSs. If the instructions are illegal, the other PS should be able to reply to the PS, Treasury, and say what he is telling them to do is unlawful. Therefore, the Assistant Minister cannot say that the PS, Treasury, has no ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.77, but before I really invoke your ruling on whether or not the Minister is anticipating debate, it is good for her to confirm whether that Bill has been published and when she will bring it to the House for debate. This is because you will realize that, basically, the answer to the Question is entirely dependent on what we are going to do with the proposed Bill. But, also, the same Standing Orders advisedly tell us that if the Bill will be coming in reasonable ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was equally categorical and that is why I wanted her--- We actually like the answer and I did not want to accuse her of anticipating debate. She should publish the Bill immediately because it has--- view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like Migori, in several areas in Turkana County including Orum Location, Makutano Junction, towards Lokichar and Nayana, which the good Minister knows, the fact of the matter is that our youth are engaged in this business. What can the Minister do in the meantime, even as she is putting some good proposals in the forthcoming Bill, to ensure that there is some equipment that makes it easier to detect and find that gold, in order to ease the burden of looking for it, especially considering that a county like Turkana is perennially in a state ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the hon. Minister, my good friend, Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, stating categorically that Hola District Hospital is condemned. That hospital is still in use, even when the Minster has condemned it. He is still looking for money for the condemned hospital. Surely, where do his priorities lie? I would imagine he would want to deal with the condemned institution as a matter of priority and emergency. I agree with him that it is condemned, but when you condemn it, then build another immediately. view
