• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do that because even me, I am not sure which is which. I was given these answers by my people on the ground and the best thing is to visit the areas with the Members of Parliament so that we can see which project is being implemented or not. When I look at these projects, I can see that they are all in Meru but I do not know where the borders are. view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a list of all the projects that are being done there. I had said that I will lay them on the Table but if you allow me, I can read all of them. I have this list which is very long. view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much! I have the list here. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the rates for the casual workers were reduced from Kshs250 to Kshs150 per day when the Emergency Food Programme was implemented under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). The project was paying the stated amount of Kshs250 which was the approved rate for the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme. In June, 2010, the Emergency Food Programme Phase 1 came to an end and, therefore, TARDA reverted to the daily gazetted rates for the area, rounded to Kshs150 per day. The gazetted wages are contained in the Kenya Gazette dated ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as long as they were employed under the Kazi kwa view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Programme, their wages were a bit higher. When the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme ended, they reverted to the usual wage which is Kshs150 per day. So, it depends. If there is anybody who had been employed before this programme started and his salary was reduced, I will make sure that they earn what they were earning earlier. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, it should be appreciated that instead of these people being laid off and sent home where they would earn nothing, the rate was reduced. The Kazi kwa Vijana Programme is completely different and under different terms of engagement. Instead of the workers being told to go home when the Kazi kwaVijana Programme ended, I asked TARDA to take them on and let them continue with the work even at a lower pay. As I said, if there is anybody was being paid more before the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme began and his salary has been ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that the benefits are very low, but that was the gazetted salary. At the moment, we are restructuring. The moment the restructuring is over, we will make sure that the salaries go up. I agree with the Member that--- view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the gazetted salary for that area. All over the country, there are gazetted salaries for casuals. At the moment, this is the gazetted salary. As I said earlier, we are restructuring and the salaries will be reviewed very soon. I will be in a better position to gazette a rate higher than what they are earning now. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are casuals with the regional authorities. I have said that we are now restructuring. These people would have been laid off, but because of my good heart, I said that they should not go. I have a very good heart. In fact, they should have gone home. The Member should be thanking me. view
