Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, up to now, I do not have the written response to this Question. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would prefer to be given time to go through the written answer. Therefore, this Question should come back tomorrow in the afternoon. I need time to know what they are saying. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate the effort made by the Assistant Minister to address the matter, I would like to say that many things do not tally with what is on the site. Surely, citizens of this country cannot go to the Ministry of Lands, pay money to have a boundary established and it takes over one and a half years to respond to an issue. I would like the Assistant Minister to say when this matter will be addressed, and why it has taken over one and a half years after receiving money from the owners ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must say that I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s effort. However, truly, in this House this morning, there is something that is rather baffling, and we may even need your guidance. Members of public are entitled to services. We had an issue here with the Ministry of Medical Services. Now, we have an issue with Ministry of Lands. We are just being told that members of the public are supposed to do this or that. Truly, we need your guidance where members of the public have done what they are supposed to do. They are ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me talk about the summonses. The DC himself had agreed with that officer on the day she would come to the site and she failed to come. That is the issue. The DC had summoned the local leaders and members of the public. The issue is: What are the summonses that we are being told about, when she had already given an undertaking to the DC that she would be there on that day? She kept people waiting and wondering: What kind of Government is this? view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. The allegations that may have led to the inclusion of this serious paragraph to defer the appointment of Mr. Tobiko have no basis. No credible basis has been given. I want to warn this House that where we are in this country, unless this House stands firm now, the House will become a rubber stamp to some other views of people who are unknown and who may represent the civil society. Mr. Tobiko was subjected to this simply because he has worked in the Government. There was the KANU Government ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: a reflection, if Mr. Tobiko was working for an NGO in Chicago, today, we would be praising him because we have nothing to say. That is what would be happening. Mr. Tobiko is being vilified because he is a son of Kenya and there is nothing wrong with him. Even looking at the geographical distribution of this list, it is only fair that Mr. Tobiko’s appointment is approved with the others. Regarding somebody thinking that he is going to live with ---- I beg to support. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to tell this House whether this programme is in line because it seems to be done in a haphazard manner. In my own constituency, he is aware how many times I have been requesting the building of our market. It is all over the country and the case of Limuru is just one of them. Can the Minister tell this House what the problems have been? When is this programme of having a market for every constituency going to be achieved? view
