• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question was deferred because the Minister and his staff did exactly what the Minister is denying. The staff of the Ministry in Tharaka District advertised for those positions in 2005 and people applied and were interviewed, but the Minister picked the candidates from the list of 2004. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister should note that people were interviewed in 2005. While awaiting the results, the Ministry headquarters here in Nairobi decided to pick the candidates from the 2004 list. There is a difference of one year. Why did the Minister waste people's time by advertising and ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that even after the Question was deferred last month, the Minister did not bother to go and check the facts. This is the same answer he brought to this House and we rejected it. The Chair asked him to go and look for a better July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2381 answer. It is unfortunate that, that did not happen. Secondly, the Minister has said that there is no Odhiambo in that list. I do not want to be tribalistic, but there are three people in the list who do not understand that ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, two very funny things happened after the survey and that is why I raised this Question. First, the survey was not successful because those people involved in it did not understand the language that was being used. They were also afraid of going to the harsh areas of Tharaka. Secondly, the person on the ground, after advertising for the jobs, went around taking people's money, yet he did not employ them. Out of that, you can see that people lost money and the statistics are so much against Tharaka, that the poverty index has now been adjusted ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir! view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am wondering whether the Minister is in order to say July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2383 that the people on the ground, who belong to his Ministry, caused a mess but the buck does not stop with him? I thought he is the one responsible. Who else would answer on behalf of his staff? view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Ministry is in charge of regulating trade and ensuring that Kenya achieves the target of being an industrialised country by the year 2020. To be able to do that, 2330 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2006 we need to put in place and ensure that we review our plans on a regular basis. That will help us to find out whether we are on course or not. The allocation we are talking about here is too little. ... view

• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Minister for 2262 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 20, 2006 having taken note of what some of us suggested in our contributions. At this point, I would like to request the Minister and the officers who are charged with the responsibility of collecting information to be accurate, so that this country is given the collect data. We need this data for budgeting and ensuring that we plan well for this country. I say this because the last time I looked at the figures of population for Tharaka, it was indicated that in ... view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Minister for a job well done. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he could consider refunding Mr. Joseph Mutegi Kirugi, deposits worth Kshs14,530, which he paid to Kaguru Farmers' Training College in Meru Central District for purchase of boarded goods advertised through Tender No.MOA/BS/3VOL.II/(149). view
