• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is purely a different Question. Generally, we are handling the situation very well, particularly in Nairobi. We installed a very high mast in Kibera the other day with Mr. Raila in conjunction with the Adopt-A-Light Company. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, street lighting is part of the performance contracts of the various local authorities particularly, urban local authorities.

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot do that, but we are very sensitive to insecurity in our urban areas. My Ministry, in conjunction with the Provincial Administration, will do what it takes to alleviate insecurity in some of these areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, I would also like to request property owners to ensure that their property frontages are well lit. If all plots in all our towns were lit by their owners, then there would be no darkness in the streets. view

• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very unfortunate case and the Ministry had to put its feet down to ensure that Mrs. Mary Kemoni Mauti is paid her dues. I think we have done our best. view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe the hon. Member could not hear me well because there was a lot of loud consultations. Nyamira Town Council has put into its budget Kshs1.5 million to cater for cases like this one of Mrs. Mary Kemoni. We are also telling our councils to ensure that staff emoluments, particularly retirement benefits, are paid in time. This instruction is already in force. view

There were also some members of staff who could ... view
