• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to join the other hon. Members in congratulating Mr. Ababu Namwamba in his appointment as a Minister. This issue is very critical because it is happening practically, in all the areas. Since the Minister has officers on the ground, I would like him to address the short-term issues because the youth have done a lot of research on what is happening. What the Minister has given us is the long-term solution to what he intends to do. Could he commit himself view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Ol Jororok-Dundori Centre Road (C83) is currently in a deplorable condition, thereby making it difficult for farmers to take their produce to the market? (b) Is the Minister also aware that the said road has been designed four times but no works have ever been undertaken? (c) What measures is the Minister taking to ensure that the road is upgraded to bitumen standard? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very unfortunate position because this road is the one that helps us take our foodstuff from the farms to the market. Could the Assistant Minister tell us exactly what happened to the first trunche of Kshs60 million which was allocated last year and only Kshs4.5 million was given to upgrade only five kilometers. What happened to the money that was allocated last year? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this road has been allocated Kshs150 million through a Circular from the Treasury to all the Accounting Officers. I believe that it is going to be done. However, I would like the Assistant Minister, who is my friend, although these days we do not sit together, to tell us when is the starting point in terms of upgrading very old road which has been overtaken by even D and E Roads in other areas in this country. view

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the mover of the amendments aware of Section 76 of the Constitution that conflicts--- view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have been queuing for quite some time, but I am very grateful that you have given me this opportunity. As my colleagues have said, Clause 8 really is the gist of the whole Bill. The Constitution is supreme. Therefore, no Bill should go against it. Article 76 says in part that you cannot even seek or accept a personal loan or benefit in circumstances that compromise the integrity of the State Officer. Health workers are State officers. So, the proposed amendment by the Committee negates the Constitution. I beg to oppose it. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Assistant Minister say clearly that he is going to release funds at the end of September. Some areas have had rain since March this year and roads are in deplorable conditions. Will the Assistant Minister expect the Kshs7 million he is releasing to do all the repair work and also take care of the damage that is going to be done by El Nino rains that we expect to come soon? view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the work done by the Departmental Committee on Health - I would like to appreciate because I have been a co- Member with the Chair in another committee - I feel it is a sad moment because whereas our female colleagues may say that men do not participate in breastfeeding, we probably do not participate directly but those of us who have had the experience of getting those children that need mothers’ milk, know the value in terms of the brain development, alimentary canal development and the growth of a child. Therefore, I ... view
