• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am shocked by the answer given by the Assistant Minister because it is so vague, ambiguous and inadequate to convince an individual who knows so many people in that region who have paid for electricity, but have not been supplied with it. What the Minister has done is just to cluster us in groups, but there are so many individuals who have applied for power. Is the Kshs2,709,400 that was paid attracting any interest at all? That money is being used by KPLC for their own activities. view

• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is this hon. Member in order to mislead the House by saying that Members of Parliament should pay taxes and yet we pay taxes today? view

• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the good answer he has given to this House. I also thank the KPLC for looking forward in its development activities. I hope that the Minister for Education and the Minister for Information and Communications have heard that there is need to fast-track information technology education of our children. That aside, is the Minister also planning to introduce pre-paid cards to pay electricity bills as is happening elsewhere in the world? view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many Kenyans have paid a deposit to the KPLC with the hope that they will be supplied with power. Some of them paid three years ago but they are yet to be supplied with power. When will these individuals be supplied with power? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Youth Affairs:- (a) how many village youth polytechnics are registered in the country; (b) what are the main trades taught in those polytechnics and to what level of certification are the courses; and, (c) whether he is aware that those institutions are collapsing due to lack of funds and demoralized staff. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for that comprehensive reply. Those institutions were put up by members of public who used a lot of their resources. So, when they collapse, it is the public that is losing a lot of money. In the process, the country is also losing trained personnel which could provide self-employment, thus reducing unemployment in this country. I would like to ask the Minister: Since it is the public who put up those facilities, could the Ministry employ and pay qualified managers to manage those institutions? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish you had given this Question more time because of the interest raised by it. Could the Minister tell this House who is a youth? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are talking about youth polytechnics. I am wondering who is a youth. view
