• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you deferred my Question, but you did not direct when it should appear on the Order Paper. I am also wondering: Are you satisfied that the Minister and his Assistant Minister could be away at the same time? view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Lekuton raised a fundamental question about the compensation between a European and a Kenyan. Only yesterday, a European was compensated and paid Kshs64.5 million for injury. The Assistant Minister has told us that the maximum compensation for a Kenyan is Kshs200,000. We would like him to tell this House what criteria they use to determine that the life of a Kenyan is less valuable than that of a European. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on Monday morning, bandits attacked a village in my constituency called Lorengiti, killed a number of people and took away many livestock. On Friday, raiders also attacked Lokori and Loriu and took away many livestock. I would wish to ask the Minister to confirm the number of people dead and number of livestock lost. Only three weeks ago, we were aware of that situation. Apparently, the Government did not ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In his own words, the Assistant Minister has admitted the gravity of the matter. Today is Wednesday and he wants to issue a Ministerial Statement next Thursday. Those are how many days? Given the gravity of the matter, he should issue the Statement immediately! view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. This is a very, very important Motion and I would like to sincerely thank my good friend, Mr. Lekuton, for bringing this Motion. I also thank the Assistant Minister for being here to listen. In fact, a while ago, I was wondering where the Minister and his Deputy were, but I am happy that he is here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why do we consider this Motion important? On the basis that there are not enough extension officers in the Ministry of ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for that very good ruling. But I am just wondering whether the Assistant Minister has even read the Motion. The Motion does not ask the Government to introduce price controls. It is asking the Government to do something to regulate - of course that is the business of the Government - the prices of these commodities. It is just a Motion where we are going to ventilate and introduce ideas. If the Assistant Minister wishes to regulate, so be it, as asked by the Motion. If he has contrary ideas, he will have ... view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Assistant Minister was mentioning the militia groups, he referred to the Government side every time. Does he want to confirm that these militia groups are owned by the Government? view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that residents of Turkana Central District in general, and Lodwar Municipality in particular, are unable to access credit facilities for lack of titles to their parcels of land; (b) whether he could table the names, acreage and location of title deed holders in Turkana North, Turkana Central and Turkana South districts; (c) whether he could state, giving the dates of the areas that benefited from the Government scheme in 2006/2007 to fast-track issuance of title deeds to the landless, squatters in the marginalised areas; and, (d) when he will commence ... view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Pokot is generally a semi-arid area. When they get an opportunity like this one in a good agricultural area like Lelan where they are able to grow quality pyrethrum and the PBD fails to pay them--- Could the Assistant Minister ensure that Pokot farmers who are ordinarily unable to plant are given priority when the payments are made in order to encourage them to continue growing crops so that they can weather the famine situations that are quite frequent in this area? Could he give an assurance to the House? view
