• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still want to request for another Ministerial Statement! view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, bear with me. The hon. Minister is paid to take note of these points of order! June 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1107 view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government on the state of affairs at the Lodwar Municipal Council. For the last two weeks, nothing has been happening at the Council; it is completely dysfunctional. General revenue is not accounted for, including the LATF money, which was released towards the end of last May. That money has not been accounted for. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Council minutes and resolutions are not available to the councillors, who are not in a position to follow proceedings. Council money is ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would be out of order if the two were on the same issue. I am asking about general governance. The Question is asking about illegal withdrawal of specific amounts of money on a particular date using forged minutes. This is not on the same matter! view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your ruling which I abide by, but I do not agree with! view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Special Programmes:- (a) what criteria the Ministry employs in the distribution of GOK Emergency Relief Food; (b) whether she could table statistics showing the allocation and distribution of the relief food to each location of Turkana South, Turkana Central and Turkana North Districts since the year 2005; and, (c) what measures the Government is putting in place to improve food security in the country. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for answering the Question. He has invoked collective responsibility. My understanding of collective responsibility is that the Cabinet has collective responsibility to Parliament on actions undertaken by the President, and not in answering a Question from one another, especially from a junior Minister. Are you satisfied? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with respect to you, I will look for an opportunity to interpret that. For now, I will proceed because this is about food security in Turkana. I want my people to be fed properly. What criteria does the Ministry employ in the distribution of Government of Kenya emergency relief food? That criteria is not properly elucidated here. If that criteria was here, then we would be talking of the exact and precise number of people who are currently supposed to be fed by the Government. There is a big problem now. I have over 100 people ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question was precise. How many people need relief food? I have the figures here! The Assistant Minister has not told me how many people he is feeding and what ratio he is using. He is talking about food security. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has confirmed to this House that in spite of his youthfulness and willingness to answer the Question, he is very incompetent in this particular subject. We are talking about food and livelihood. Kenyan people in the larger Turkana are going without food. The Assistant Minister has failed to tell us how many people he is feeding and the basis he is using to distribute relief food. I would have asked more supplementary questions, but given that the Assistant Minister has already demonstrated that he does not have information, ... view
