• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also confirmed from the ground that the teachers in Nandi Central have not received the payment. We actually want the Assistant Minister to clarify and give us clear information. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister is asking hon. Members to stop acting for members of their communities, yet he is on record telling the people of Kitui that he was going to protect hon. Ngilu. Is he in order? view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) why Kapsabet Water Project, which is funded by the Japanese Government, is not covering the surrounding areas such as Singorwa, Kapkrio, Mosobecho, Meswo, Chebarbar and Kamurguiywa. (b) what plans the Ministry has to ensure the areas benefit from the project; and, (c) who changed the original survey, which covered all these areas, and how the resulting balance of funds will be used. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank the Minister for the answer that she has given. But, unfortunately, the tank is built in the Singorwa area. It is very embarrassing when a tank is built in an area and the residents of that area do not receive water. Secondly, there is no T-joint to show that there will be a connection line in future to serve that area. The project is almost 90 per cent complete. If the Government has set aside funds for that area, then there should be a sign to show that ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister answered the Question by saying that there is not enough water. Chebarbar River is big and, in fact, the tank in Singorwa takes more than one million litres. I fail to understand why this tank which takes more than one million litres does not provide enough water to serve the surrounding area. First of all, I appreciate this project, but if we can agree with the Minister, this water is enough to serve the surrounding area and also the Kamurguiywa area where there is a hospital, shopping centre and school. I fail to ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. What is happening reminds me of what happened in history. In the American history, in the 1930s, there was an economic depression and the then President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt did something to solve the problem and that is what is required in Kenya at the moment. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: The poverty rate is increasing and the country is not prepared to face the challenges that are brought about by the rising population. The unemployment rate is also increasing. Right now, we are working towards the Vision 2030, but it will be difficult for us to achieve this because of the problems that we are facing. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me time to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to support this Motion because it is very important. As we know, Aristotle said: “Education is preparation for quality life.” I think we are taking education seriously because we know its importance. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that even though we are asking for more funds, we have so many challenges. I support that funds should be doubled for secondary schools and tripled for primary schools. However, there are so many challenges. In many schools, staffing levels are ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution. First, I want to thank hon. Affey for bringing this Motion. When I was a student, it took me two days to get an ID. That was way back in 1985. At that time what was required was a letter from the headmaster and another from the Chief. Currently, the procedure is too long. At that time, IDs were issued at the district level. Currently, forms have to be filled and sent to Nairobi. One is made to wait for six months or one ... view
