• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the Ministry decided to grow eucalyptus trees, instead of tea, did the Ministry do a cost benefit analysis to determine that production of eucalyptus trees is more gainful than tea? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only variable that the Minister considers when setting up a district hospital is the catchment population of that vicinity. Is that the only variable to be considered when setting up a sub-district hospital in this country? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Motion. It was 1388 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 well thought out and covered most of the aspects that need to be considered in the development of our nation. In particular, I commend the Minister for making serious commitments in the development of the infrastructure of this country. It is laudable that Kshs65 billion will be used to finance the road network in the whole of our country. The road network is critical for the development of this nation. That includes the development of roads in the rural areas to enable ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose the Motion. These are extra- ordinary times in this Republic. We are facing many challenges. It is a difficult time. It is time we burnt the midnight oil in this House to serve this nation. The reasons which were advanced for the adjournment of this House are not good enough. We were told that it is the tradition of Parliament to adjourn before the Budget Day. As far as the tradition is concerned, so much has happened in the Tenth Parliament. Therefore, that argument cannot carry the day. We now have the ... view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my question is about oil exploration. I am aware that in northern Kenya, in Isiolo and in my constituency of North Horr, oil is being explored by Chinese companies as well as a Swiss company called Lundin. My proactive question is: I want to know the Government's policy of sharing resources, especially minerals such as oil, if they are found, with local communities which live in those areas where these minerals are being explored. I would like to know the Government's policy. If there is no policy, I want this Government to be proactive and think ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. As leaders we have an obligation to ensure that Kenyans, who have been displaced, are settled. These are people with families and children. As a nation, we have a duty to see to it that they are settled, and they go back home where they belong. We must show leadership during this difficult time. We must lead. This is a difficult time for this nation. These are trying times for this country, and, as leaders of this august House, we must join hands and enable other Kenyans to go back ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am Mr. Francis Chachu, the Member of Parliament for North Horr Constituency. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I rise to make my maiden speech, I would like to thank the Almighty God and the people of North Horr for giving me the opportunity to serve this great nation in my capacity as their Member of Parliament. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to pay a special tribute to a great son of North Horr who served this nation very well and this august House extremely well, the late Dr. Bonaya Adhi Godana. ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I said before, I wonder whether we have sheer understanding of fairness and equity in this country. We have so many state corporations representing the interests of all other Kenyans and yet, we do not have one representing the interests of pastoralists. The Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) which is a state corporation is really established to represent the interests of large-scale livestock ranchers and other pastoralists in northern Kenya. In this country, each and every child is provided with education at home where he or she lives. A pastoralist child has to walk ... view
