18 Oct 2011 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 the construction of the Mitume/Tuwani Bridge in Kitale has stalled despite the Government allocating Kshs20 Million for completion of the same? (b) What urgent measures are being taken to ensure completion of the same and prevention of wastage of what has already been put up so far?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular bridge had been allocated Kshs20 million. I believe through sheer negligence of the engineers, the design used was a wrong one and it, therefore, swallowed up the Kshs20 million. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what the Government will do to ensure that whatever had been put in through the Kshs20 million is not wasted away? Could he put measures in place to ensure the completion of the Mitume/Tuwani Bridge?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular bridge has cut off Tuwani/Mitume Estate from the rest of Kitale Town. We have a problem, particularly for school going children who have to go round to access schools on the other side of town. Could the Assistant Minister, probably, put in place arrangements to at least deal with the bridge first before he talks about the link road? Could the Kshs35 million be availed as a matter of urgency to complete the bridge first and then the link road can be done later?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate my good friend, Dr. Otichilo, for bringing this highly technical and intellectually stimulating Motion. I must say that I feel very intimidated to speak after one of the most learned space scientists in this country, Dr. Otichilo. He is a man of letters who is highly trained

11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill. I wish to also say that this Bill is long overdue. Indeed, when you look at the local authorities, we have for a very long time, since 1948, had the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund. This is something that has taken care of those who have been working in our local authorities over the years. I was privileged to have served as one of the members of the Board of Trustees. Indeed, over time, we have improved the terms to ensure that all workers working in our local authorities ...

7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support the Motion for extension. I will also remind the House that the mandate of this Committee was expanded to not only deal with 2008 Post-Election Violence victims but I brought an amendment which extended the mandate of this Committee to all persons who were displaced from 1992 and 1997 tribal clashes. Therefore, the mandate is wide and heavy and the Committee needs to be given adequate time to reach all corners and all victims, particularly the one concerning the petition that I brought of the Umoja Clash victims who were ...

6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also had a point of order for the same Assistant Minister. I am happy that he has addressed security concerns in Migori where there were over ten deaths. Similarly, there has been rising insecurity in Trans Nzoia and Bungoma counties. There are over ten people who have been murdered. They were shot dead. Of particular interest is a bizarre incident that took place on 19th August when a suspect was lynched at Muroki Market in Saboti and a G3 rifle belonging to a police officer found in his possession. I ...

6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support the Bill. I am very glad that we will now have a Commission in place to whom members of the public can go and receive and refer civilian complaints; the Independent Policing Oversight Authority. It has been very difficult for members of the public to launch complaints to the police about the police. Now with this Commission, it will be possible to have a body that will be receiving information from the civilians. However, when you look at Clause 24(2) it is provided that:- “A person shall not, in any ...
