• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to support the Member of Parliament for Ikolomani given that the Minister himself promised this House two weeks ago that such incidences would never happen again. In effect, this means that he must have put in place sufficient arrangements, including getting that information, like yesterday. So, issuing the Ministerial Statement on Thursday will be good for the people of the Republic of Kenya residing in Kakamega Town. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education on the current hiring of staff in that Ministry. I would like him to confirm how many clerks and subordinate staff were recruited from the larger Turkana region and to provide their particulars especially names, identity numbers, day of interview and when they were called to collect their appointment letters. Further, he should confirm that there are long queues of job seekers from all over the country in this Ministry in Nairobi and some of them have been queuing for a whole month ... view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do appreciate that it might need a one week notice but surely considering that some of these people have been in Nairobi for a whole month waiting for these letters, I think the Assistant Minister needs to show empathy with the plight of poor Kenyans who are desperately looking for jobs. They are causing more misery to already miserable people. Could he issue the Ministerial Statement sometime this week? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it also in order for the hon. Member, my good Deputy Chair of CDF from Ravine, to cast aspersions on the character of the hon. Member, particularly when the Chair itself is satisfied that under the Standing Orders a Member can withdraw that particular Bill? Is he in order? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise on a point of order. Recognizing that today is a Tuesday afternoon, if you look at Standing Order No.38 (2), it gives exception to Wednesday morning which is an ordinary Members’ day. Obviously, this afternoon should be for Government business. Dr. Khalwale has spelt out the pending Government business that should have been brought before the House. I rise on the last bit about the Leader of Government Business. I think failure of the business in the House is because the Government does not have a Leader of Government Business. Last year, the ... view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that all we need to do in order to get security personnel is to put a request. The security team in Turkana Central requested for additional KPRs in Lorengipi, Naipa and Lokiriama two years ago and he is yet to deploy them. When will he deploy the KPRs because we have already requested for them? view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you look at this Question, I am not sure whether the absence of the Minister has something to do with her inability to answer it, because the issue of Millennium Development Goals is rightly in the docket of the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. I know this for a fact because they have a Millennium Development Goals Unit in that particular Ministry. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Including MDG 5. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Of course, the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation could be dealing with such issues, but MDG’s realization is for the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, and I have immense interest in this particular subject. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was expecting responses to Ministerial Statements I sought last Tuesday, one from the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation and the second one from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. On Tuesday, I sought Statements from the two Ministers and they agreed that they would bring the Statements on Thursday afternoon. In particular the one from the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation was about health professionals who have not been paid for the last one year. It is so serious and the Minister does not ... view
