• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the offer by the Minister to invite the hon. Member to his office - which is very good - but he could have done that before he came to the Floor of the House. Now that he is here and the hon. Member has even given him up to two weeks, why can he not be categorical because the rest of Kenya is watching? We want to know when you are going to allow those people to come for vetting! Give a specific date! view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030:- (a) to provide a list of projects funded by Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF), Poverty Eradication Commission (PEC), Millennium Development Goal Unit and Vision 2030 Secretariat, indicating project name, location, amount funded, commencement and completion date of each project in Turkana County; (b) what the per annum quantum and per centum of the total budget for Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF) and Poverty Eradication Commission (PEC) allocated to Turkana County since independence is; and, (c) what other projects are planned by these agencies in Turkana County in the ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for supporting development projects in Turkana County. He has provided the schedules and amount of money. On the impact of irrigation schemes, there is a project called Rehabilitation of NAROS Irrigation Scheme where the Ministry has spent Kshs1.7 million. What is the output from that project? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied but the Assistant Minister has not answered the question on the output because there is no output. However, he went ahead to give the reason that the money is not enough. How much of this money will be enough to produce the output that the Assistant Minister can report? Every shilling must count. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am also seeking your clarification. The old Constitution required that the Attorney-General must inform the Speaker of his absence. I am not sure whether the current one provides the same, but he may wish to confirm. For purposes of parliamentary business in this Constitution, some of these issues are being suspended until a particular time. This could be one of them. In view of the two weeks the Attorney-General will be away, which might affect the business of the House and the country, can you confirm that the Attorney-General had ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was just getting a bit impatient because the Assistant Minister was attempting to answer when we want him to include more issues, so that he can give a comprehensive answer since you have already granted him longer time. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to declare my interest. I am not a member of the Kabete Veterinary Sports Club. However, I went to school in Kabete Campus, Nairobi University. I have a background of agriculture and research. Part of this land was grabbed from Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, which has a centre. Part of this land has been grabbed from Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Production Institute (KEVEVAPI), which has lacked capacity to produce vaccines. We would like him to be very categorical, that we want to know those grabbers in terms of the names, exact size of land ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to what Dr. Khalwale has said, and we want to welcome the contribution by the Minister for Lands, although we want to give them enough time to identify the grabbers, we are also saying that we cannot give them enough time for the other people who were arrested, for example, a member who was there five hours after the event. Surely, what is the basis for detaining those people in police cells for that long? Could the Assistant Minister take some action on the people involved as we give ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Deputy Leader of Government Business has offered me the opportunity for the Assistant Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to respond to my matter. Since this one is pregnant and ready, why can we not deliver it as we wait for the Minister of State for Defence to re-appear? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for giving the assurance that the question of re-interviewing chiefs does not arise. But the Assistant Minister is definitely not in charge of his Ministry. Two weeks ago, I went to pursue salary payments for two chiefs from my place; one is called Joseph Elim Tapen, Chief of Napelilim Location who was recruited on 4th of February, 2010. The second one is Assistant Chief Lochu Cherneng Christopher, the sub-chief of Lodwar Town, who was recruited on the same day and who is working now. Their salaries ... view
