• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the difficulties the Assistant Minister has to confirm these charges. However, I would like him to request Safaricom to extend its services to other border points in Turkana County, so that when this kind of question comes, I can also confirm whether the charges are international or ordinary. When would he ensure that Safaricom penetration is extended to Lorengipi, Lokiriama and all the other areas that do not have mobile telephony in Turkana County? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for this Assistant Minister to continue misleading this House? He is taking the House for a ride. A Member has asked Question No.895. He should either confirm or deny after doing his home work. He is asking the same Member to provide him with information. That is not our job. That is the job of the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) which falls under his docket. view

• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I welcome the promise by the Assistant Minister to provide funds to renovate the school. However, if the damage took place in April, 2011, the end of the preceding financial year was 30th June, 2011. The Assistant Minister had an opportunity to provide the money. Assuming he did not do so and now he is talking about the 2011/2012 Financial Year and he is still waiting for the authority of Parliament--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that in June, 2011, many days before the end of the financial year, this House allowed ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really did not expect this to go on this long. However, the Assistant Minister is inviting questions. He says when we, as a House, approved the 50 per cent of his Ministry’s budget, did not include the emergency money. You will remember we gave blanket approval of 50 per cent of the total budgetary provisions as per the law. Why was he in a hurry to seek for that approval if he is not willing to utilize it? Is he in order to mislead the House that he does not ... view

• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I apologize. The hon. Assistant Minister for Education, hon. Calistus Mwatela, I hope he will be as honorable as his word because on the Floor of this House, none other than the substantive Minister, Prof. Ongeri, promised me six teachers to Turkwell Boys Secondary School which up to date, he has not posted to the school. So, I need extra assurance that tomorrow is tomorrow and not another one year. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife on the circumstances that led to the arrest, arraignment in court and conviction of the Kenya Police Reservists from Olopoi area. Under what circumstances were these KPRs arraigned in court on the basis of alleged poaching of elephants? How many KPRs were killed by the elephant that was killed by the KPRs in self-defence? On what basis did the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), all the way from Lodwar, take the KPRs who were also policemen to court when they were acting in ... view
