• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question is addressing a very fundamental issue. We committed ourselves to a reform agenda, and particularly to reforming our electoral process. When you look at the answer that the Assistant Minister has given in terms of selecting the constituencies that were being piloted, he has mentioned the setting of the constituency, population density and environmental hardships. The programme has stalled midway because Treasury has not provided the money. Therefore, we want him to assure this House that this programme, as part of the reform agenda, will be expedited and given the requisite resources, and not ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not want to interrupt my good friend, but he keeps saying that he is discussing with the Commission for the money to cover the 96 constituencies. Is the Commission the one that has the money or is it Treasury that is going to give the Commission the money? The Assistant Minister is talking to the wrong people. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: I wanted to inform the Minister that she is misleading the House because only last week, the Chair read a letter from the same Ministry stating that the Minister was in a Cabinet meeting when the rest of the Cabinet was already here. So, how do we know they are actually having late lunch? Is it not the same story like last week? The Chair needs to protect the rest of Kenyans to receive adequate answers from the Government and action must be taken on such Ministers. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, particularly for making the Attorney-General give his attention to me! view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands – (a) to provide details of the allocations and disbursements to all the constituencies/districts under the mandate of the Arid Lands Resource Management Programme (ALRMP) since inception to date, giving percentages vis-a-vis total allocations; (b) what criteria the Government uses to define land as Arid Land and what constitutes Northern Kenya; and, (c) whether he could state the specific projects undertaken in the larger Turkana Region, indicating amount per project, project location and completion dates per financial year of project existence and also state the criteria for the ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with your ruling, but I have another Question for the same Minister tomorrow morning. So, he might use that to his advantage and make a complete withdrawal from Parliament. I would humbly request you to compel the Minister to come tomorrow with an appropriate apology and also to answer both Questions. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to seek two Ministerial Statements. The first one is to the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation. I would like the Minister to state how many personnel - by name and cadre - were employed under the UNICEF Programme in the larger Turkana District. How come they have not been paid since June last year and what is going to be the effect? I would also like the Minister to consider how many of those personnel in other constituencies that have been paid? We need a comparison! Finally, how many other medical personnel ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: I agree with you, but the Assistant Minister is here and I am sure he can represent the Minister. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to contribute to this Bill. I really want to pay special tribute to the Mover of this Motion, hon. Kaino, the Member for Marakwet West. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, malaria is a killer disease that has caused a lot of displacements in some areas. For those of us who live in what you would consider virgin country, when settlements move to a particular area, surely, this disease will affect so many people to the extent that they will start believing in witchcraft. They will think that something is happening to them. In fact, ... view
