• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion and compliment Mr. Kaino for having moved this very relevant and timely Motion. I also commend the Minister for Agriculture for really taking the challenge of food security head on. Today, Kenya is food secure than it was two years ago just because of reviving those irrigation schemes. Today, areas like Tana River, Bura and Hola have food in surplus. I think that Members of Parliament should support this Ministry and make sure it gets more money in the Budget to make this country even more food secure in ... view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the response given by the Assistant Minister is very disturbing. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance who made that commitment to this House to reach the public mentioned the road Isiolo-Modogashe Road by name, but we are now being told that it will be done only when funds are view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030: (a) why the Ministry did not use the current official poverty index in allocating CDF to constituencies in the country; (b) to state the amount of money the ten poorest constituencies would have been allocated had the Ministry used the current official National Poverty Index in allocating CDF for the 2009/2010 financial year; and, (c) when the Ministry will effectively utilize the current official poverty index in allocating CDF in the country. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Government released a survey called Kenya Integrated Household Based Survey in the year 2008. All the 210 constituencies in Kenya were ranked. My own constituency, North Horr, was third poorest in this Republic. This survey is being used by the Government for all other functions but when it comes to CDF allocations, the Government has shied away from it. Could the Assistant Minister tell us why the Government is not using this particular survey, which it officially released, in allocating CDF funds? view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when determining the amount of funds allocated for CDF, the Committee considers population and poverty levels of a particular area. In northern Kenya, household based surveys have never been done. The Ministry has been using proxies. When will this Ministry undertake the necessary survey to ensure that the poverty levels of those constituencies are determined before the CDF money is allocated? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion for Adjournment. This is a crucial moment for this country and, as leaders, I think it is time we went back and gave leadership and direction to our constituents. I think it is time for us to go and meet with our constituency leaders, councillors and all other key people in our constituencies, have dialogue with them, so that we have a shared understanding of the draft Constitution document, and ensure that we give Kenyans a new Constitution this time round. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is time for us to go back to audit, monitor and evaluate our programmes, whether they are Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) projects or programmes under the Economic Stimulus Programme. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) why the Government has not posted a medical doctor to Marsabit North District four years after the district was established; and, (b) what immediate action the Ministry is taking to ensure a medical doctor is posted to the district. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do thank the Minister for his response. Having heard the response he gave me, I feel that I should have directed this Question to the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation because it is about posting a medical officer of health to my district, since I do not have a district hospital. view
