• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank Mr. Namwamba for bringing this Motion. I also wish to thank the Minister for the proper attitude that Ministers do not have the monopoly of wisdom or issues. Definitely, sometimes, they are wanting in facts. The Floor of this House provides them with an opportunity to be informed. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know why Members of Parliament bring issues here, and the Government says that they should not be emotional. How can you not be emotional when your people are dying every year since 2000? We always talk about ... view

• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the efforts by the Minister to answer the Question, the lengthy part of it was to be laid on the Table, and the specific part was to just confirm the numbers. The Minister says it is not true that relief food beneficiaries have been reduced. I want to say that, that is not correct. Turkana Central District has five divisions. In March, the total beneficiaries were 66,845 but because of the failure of the long rains, an October 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2667 assessment was done which increased the number in June to ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is giving the Government figures. My question is that, as we speak now, the number of beneficiaries is being reduced, because the Minister has reduced the food. I have given the figures for March to September. The numbers have reduced from 112,000 to 104,000. Is that not a reduction? She needs to confirm that. She confirmed the position on the ground and promised the people of Turkana that she was going to increase the food and now she is telling the nation that it is not true that the numbers have been reduced. I ... view
