• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate that this is a different Assistant Minister, when we ask Questions, we ask them to the Government. When a Minister speaks, he speaks on behalf of the Government. What assurance do we have that the Government of Kenya will assure the people of Kitui West that this road will be completed this year? view
• 24 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You had given me the chance and I deferred to my whip. But, obviously, he had not read from what you told his colleague, the other whip, that he cannot purport to do the same. I, therefore, wish to seek, under Standing Order No. 57 that this Motion be withdrawn with the leave of the House. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What is the status of the general relief food distribution under the MOP/PRRO in the famine affected districts in Kenya? (b) What are the respective roles of the District Steering Group, Kenya Food Security Steering Committee and Kenya Food Security Steering meetings in general food distribution? (c) Could he provide (i) agreements between the World Food Programme and the Government of Kenya on general food distribution and school feeding programme; (ii) agreement between the WFP and respective lead agencies, ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer he has given. I am a bit constrained because the issues are about relations. There is an agreement between the WFP and Kenya. There is also an issue between the WFP and the partner agencies which will outline the duties and obligations by each party implementing the food relief distribution. That notwithstanding, the Assistant Minister has said that Kshs4.7 million is under the programme while we know that the Kenya Government declared a state of emergency on famine affecting 10 million people. Which programme is covering the ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister confirm that food is not being distributed the way it is supposed to be. It is not enough for him to say that the Government is supporting. The responsibility to the citizenry of Kenya is not to the donors but the Government. What will the Government do to ensure that there are reliable supplies of relief food on a monthly basis to the beneficiaries that he has already identified? view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am trying to be nice to the Assistant Ministry but he is deliberately provoking me. Is he doing me a favour when the Government statistics indicate that Turkana Central is the poorest district in the country? Inevitably, there would be more poor people than anywhere else in the republic. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for my good friend and able Deputy Chairman of the Constituencies Development Committee (CDF) to talk of a Motion brought by Ms. Odhiambo? The Motion before the House was proposed by the Chair, and it reads “Debate be now adjourned.” Now you are supposed to either support or oppose it. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose the Motion on adjournment of this debate. I am not seeing hon. Bett smiling. This is a very critical intervention. I oppose the Motion because the Minister did put across his arguments yesterday. We had similar concerns, but we have since established that this is really an opportunity for the Government to go back to the financiers of the concession, so that they can start this important facility. The House may recall that it was demanded of the Attorney-General before the next general elections, to come with draft regulations, which view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What is the status of general relief food distribution under the MOP/PRRO in the famine affected districts in Kenya? (b) What are the respective roles of District Steering Group, Kenya Food Security Steering Committee and Kenya Food Security Steering meetings in general food distribution? (c) Could the Minister provide (i) agreements between World Food Programme and Government of Kenya on General Food Distribution and School Feeding Programme (ii) agreement between WFP and respective lead agencies, Kenya Food ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has not furnished me with a copy of the written answer. Looking at the Question, I really need a written answer. view
