• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: (b) In view of the serious accidents that have occurred in the past, including the Mtongwe ferry disaster and the frequent ferry breakdowns, resultant jams and near stampedes as happened recently, what is the Government doing towards construction of such a bridge as a permanent solution to this problem? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had asked the Assistant Minister to table the feasibility study’s report. He has talked of cost implications. I do not know what he means by that. What are the costs? Has he had time to compare what it would cost in terms of man hours and congestion at the port? Has he tried to convert that into money and compared it against the costs he is talking about? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Assistant Minister has read the Question carefully. Under “a”, I had requested him to table the report; this is very clear. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to request that this Question be deferred until the Assistant Minister has Tabled these feasibility studies? There have been several studies and I had specifically requested for the Tabling so that we can interrogate the issue of cost and the viability of the proposed bypass, as compared to actually putting up a bridge or an underwater tunnel. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Government has realized the weaknesses in the KKV programmes, particularly lack of involvement of the local leadership; the area Member of Parliament, councilors and other grassroots leader. To cure this weakness, could the Prime Minister consider channeling these funds through the CDF structures where we have the Member of Parliament, councilors, teachers and the entire community to ensure transparency and accountability? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture in respect of payments to farmers. In the Statement, I would like the Minister to indicate how much is owed to farmers for maize delivered to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) so far, and when the outstanding amount will be paid to the farmers. I would also like the Minister to confirm when the Government will start paying farmers cash on delivery of view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have asked us not to interrupt the Minister but in the course of his answer he mentioned something. The Minister has said that the squatters who were evicted from Mt. Kenya Forest and the Aberdares were never compensated. Is he in order to mislead the House when, in fact, those who were evicted from those forests were given Kshs1.3 billion, land was bought for them and were resettled at Solio Ranch? In the course of his answer, the Minister has said that some of the people in Mau Forest had sold ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this Motion. I thank Eng. Gumbo for coming up with this very important Motion. In the olden days when there was tragedy in the village, people would visit the forest, rivers and lakes to seek intervention from the gods. When there was an ailment, the ancient society always visited the forest to treat its sick. In fact, as we speak, traditionally, the African view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is not the first time this matter is coming up. I moved a similar Motion in this House and the Minister for Finance did not object then. In fact, it is on record, and the HANSARD will bear me out. The issue is that of access. Therefore, if the law allows, it will be a matter of whether you can access your pension early or not. That is the issue. The Minister for Finance has no objection to date. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you, kindly, look at the Bill, you will see that it was published on 21st August, 2009. It has gone through all the stages and, up to this date, there has been no objection so far. What Mr. Michuki and Dr. Oburu are saying here should, really, be their bases for opposing this Bill. Probably, it might result in one way or the other, but that should be the basis for them to argue against the Bill, and not trying to derail the Mover from initiating debate on the ... view
