• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Public Service:- (a) whether he is aware that persons with disabilities are being retired at the age of 60 years despite the Government’s directive to extend their retirement age to 65 years; and, view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have received the reply. But in terms of extending the period, I have with me a Press Statement which was signed by the Minister in 2009 that extended the period from 55 to 60 years. On page 3, it says that persons with disabilities will work to age 65 years if they so wish. I also have an appeal from one teacher, Mary Anyango, who has been forced to retire at an earlier age. She is pleading with the Government to make sure that they are not discriminated as per this circular. I am asking the ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Considering that the Government cancels circulars with other circulars, the Assistant Minister has said that after enacting this through the circular of the Minister in 2009, the issue of performance came up. Would I be in order to request that this Question be brought later, so that consultations can be undertaken, and then we are told why people with disability have been discriminated against, contrary to the Constitution as enacted last year? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am very happy with the honesty of the Assistant Minster. He himself, together with the current Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology, came to my constituency to initiate this programme; it was supposed to be a stimulus programme of greening the schools. So, I was with them the whole day and we planted 1,000 trees. But from that time, we have not had any follow up in those schools to ascertain whether the objectives for which those trees were planted were met. What is the Assistant Minister going to do because quite a lot ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I get your guidance. This Question has come on the Floor several times. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more or less similar Questions regarding GMOs and I remember you and the Speaker giving those Questions priority. Considering that this Question has been tossed from one Ministry to another, that is, from the Ministry of Agriculture to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to the Ministry of Medical Services and so on, would I be in order to suggest that the Prime Minister handles this Question because of the importance it has in terms of the health of the people? Remember cancer seems to be on the increase in this nation. Could I ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he is aware that the Railway Bridge situated next to Pembroke House School is too low to allow some trucks to pass, and that owners of an adjacent farm charge lorry drivers to detour through the farm; and, (b) whether he could consider adjusting the road in order to accommodate the trucks taking relief supplies to northern Kenya, particularly during the current re-carpeting of Road C77. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate this very short answer from the Assistant Minister, I feel very bad in that as we talk about the re-designing of that bridge, the contractor, who has been on the road for four years, has done only 25 kilometres. I do not know how much they will give the same contractor, together with all the relevant bodies, to do the design work. Even the 25 kilometres the contractor has done is shoddy work. What is the Ministry doing to make sure that this contractor will not be part and parcel of the ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am getting a bit perplexed by the Assistant Minister’s response. He answered the same Question on the delay of completion of the same road last year. He gave us an indication that the timeframe for that contractor was May, 2010. Since that time, three engineers have been changed. At the moment, a third engineer has been brought to oversee the construction of that road. What is the reason for keeping the contractor considering that his time ended in May, 2010? Up to now, the contractor has been maintained despite his slow pace and poor ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what criteria did the Assistant Minister use in the distribution of these driers? Some areas are quite dry and the wet areas like Nyandarua, which includes Ol Kalou Constituency and whose temperature goes to freezing points, have not been allocated any drier. I would like to know the criteria he used to distribute the driers, considering that some areas like Nyandarua which have a very wet climate did not get any drier. view
