• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that despite spending Kshs6.6 million on the construction of classrooms for Kimorori Primary School in Maragwa District, not a single classroom is complete; (b) whether he could explain why the Ministry headquarters is directly involved in the planning and implementation of the school's relocation at the exclusion of the District Commissioner and District Accountant; and, (c) when the new school will be completed, considering that its compound has been overcrowded by the offices of district departmental heads. view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I want to thank the Minister. I think the answer is comprehensive and very satisfying to a great extent. The purpose of this Question was to bring to the attention of the Minister the fact that two years down the line Kshs6.6 million has been put into a project without anything to show. I want to thank the Minister for having noted that after asking this Question, we can now talk about an additional Kshs10 million which is going towards the completion of the school. When this project was conceived, it was going to cost Kshs20 ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, here comes the question. I want to correct the Minister to the extent that the CDF--- view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm to this House that Kshs10 million has, indeed, been disbursed? When we met last month, there was no such contribution from the Ministry. I, however, appreciate that the end of the financial year came only the other day. Could he confirm that we have that money for the school? Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister also confirm that the implementation of this project is now no longer going to be undertaken from the Ministry headquarters when we have competent officials on the ground? view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sincerely thank the Minister. I appreciate that the Kshs16.6 million that has gone into a school is quite some money. However, if this was purely CDF contribution and there was nothing to show for it two years down the line, in fact, there would have been a lot of hullabaloo. Could the Minister consider visiting this school so that he can see what I am talking about? He should see the emptiness of the structures he is talking about so that he can appreciate why I am complaining. I thank him for the additional Kshs10 million ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the time but before I reply, I wish to donate five minutes of my time to Mr. Lesrima. view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to begin by thanking all the hon. Members who have contributed to this very important Motion. The Motion is supposed to bring sanity to the process of Budget making. If this Motion had been passed and become law in the last Ninth Parliament, some of the mal-administration and mal-practices in the Budget-making process and, indeed, the problems that have now faced this country, may not have taken place. So, I want to emphasise that Parliament must, of necessity, play its rightful role in ensuring that the Government spending remains under control, and that the ... view
• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Of course, I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Prime Minister for doing that which many of us have considered to be his duties in this House. My small concern is whether the Prime Minister can also clarify clearly--- This is because I have listened very carefully to this matter which has been going on for a period of two months. Within this period there, surely, was in existence the Grand Coalition Government and Cabinet. Why did the Prime Minister not consider it worthwhile to share all those transactions and information with ... view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities:- (a) whether he could inform the House of the specific activities undertaken by Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA) in Maragua Constituency since it was formed about four years ago; (b) whether he could table the list of all projects undertaken by the Authority and amounts of money spent on them todate; and, (c) plans currently in place to ensure immediate supply of piped water by the Authority to the major towns of Maragua, Saba Saba, Makuyu, Kenol and their environs which rely on water from shallow boreholes. view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, despite the fact that TARDA has been operating in the area for a period of four years, it has only expended a sum of Kshs100,000 within an area that it considers its catchment area. In reprocity, is it fair for an organisation to only put in Kshs100,000 for a period of four years when the towns of Maragua, Saba Saba, Makuyu and Kenol go without water and yet, this a multi billion organisation that is generating a lot of water? I have information to the effect that other towns like Mwingi Town are supplied with water ... view
