• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion for Adjournment. First, I would like to flog this dead horse called the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). We have talked about them for about three years and some questions beg for answers. Who are these people? Are they not Kenyans? Why have we not made up our minds about them? What can we do for them?

I strongly suggest that ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have every reason to go back to our constituencies to take care of the CDF projects and other projects funded through the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP). However, we have challenges because we have to deal with line Ministries. The Ministry of Public Works, for example, provides us with Bills of Quantities (BQs).

• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme under Economic Stimulus Package (ESP). Every Member of Parliament knows that this has been poorly executed. It has been left to the Provincial Administration. At times, they do a good job, but since it is poorly advertised, our youth do not come forward to do the jobs. These jobs are done by old people, whereas this programme is meant for the youth. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is there a Motion on the Floor to amend the original Motion? My understanding is that a Motion is moved and seconded. To the best of my recollection, no Motion was moved by hon. Balala. Therefore, there is no Motion to amend the original Motion on the Floor. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology:- view

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (c) whether he could confirm to the House that the Board will be more inclusive and change the impression that it is meant only for students in public universities. view
