• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: First, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance claims that this is a procedural Motion. He has quoted the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, a Constitution that he aspires that in the near future, to swear to defend. It cannot be procedural. It is also working on assumption that until such time that the Appropriation Act for the year comes into operation. The assumption here is that by the end of October, you do the guillotine. Those were the old Standing Orders. We have moved on. The new Standing Orders state that by the end of August, we ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my other misgiving is that I have never known why we give the Minister for Finance 50 per cent of the money and yet, the CDF Committee never gets all the money. He has increased CDF and I agree with him but let us walk the talk. There is an outstanding amount of Kshs2 billion. There is still Kshs2 billion outstanding for the current financial year. I want to take this earliest opportunity to give warning to the big five in the Government like the big five in the wild that failure to release this money, ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have given sufficient warning and since I know and pray that he will be there next year in the same Ministry, I will bite that time. For now, I will allow him to get away with this one. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view

• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for attempting to answer the Question. However, he is not properly briefed on the state of the ambulance and the condition of the mortuary. He is referring to February this year while the mortuary has been malfunctioning for the last five years. He is talking of an ambulance that broke down last month. However, it is a fact that the ambulance has been out of operation for the last three months. In fact, this procedure called embalment can only preserve bodies for five to seven days. How much money is ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will talk about the answer given by the Minister to part “b” of the Question in terms of the ambulance given and the referral arrangements. This ambulance is a double-cabin, a vehicle which Mr. Bifwoli, who is an Assistant Minister was crying foul that he cannot use. How does he expect a patient from Lodwar District Hospital to be transported a distance of 400 kilometers to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, sitting or sandwiched between his relatives at the back of a double-cabin? In most cases, by the time they get there, they ... view
