• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the people of Wundanyi, through their Member of Parliament, for hosting a lot of members of the Maasai community in their constituency. Indeed, I would like to thank the people of Tanzania and the people of Central Province, because we cannot afford to host the Maasai community in Nairobi. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) why the Kilgoris, Kuria and Transmara Water Services Company (KIKUTRA) is unable to provide water to Lolgorian and Ongata Baragoi Trading Centres for the last 2 years; and, (b) if he could consider forming a water service provider to cater for Transmara District only so that over 50,000 residents of Kilgoris town can access clean water for domestic use and sanitation services, considering that Migori, Kuria and Transmara Water Services Company (MIKUTRA) is also serving a large area. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for the answer; particularly part “b” where the Ministry has designed, through the Lake Victoria Water Service Board, a project as a permanent solution to the water problem in Kilgoris of Kshs291 million. However, I am not very happy because it is not really the inadequacy of the sources of water and facilities but the lack of the completion of projects. I have a list of stalled projects for the last years which include both boreholes and dams. I do not have to read them because there are more than ten projects. ... view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kilgoris Town has more than 3,000 school going children. In fact, there are boarding schools; three secondary schools and three primary schools. Those children walk to the river to fetch water very early or very late. We have lost more than 10 girls through pregnancy because they are just idling at home and not in school. What immediate steps could the Assistant Minister take to sink a borehole to provide water to these schools because this is an emergency? We have Kilgoris Boys’ Secondary Schools, Kilgoris Girls Secondary School, St. Joseph Girls’ Sosio Secondary School and DEB ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first I want to thank the Minister because he has been doing a good job. We must appreciate somebody who is working hard for this country. I believe in the interest of the country, knowing that we are getting into very dry spells where we do not have enough rains, could the Minister in future, come with an index of poverty in terms of farmers’ needs? That way, this House can vote for more money for the Ministry to support people who are likely to die from lack of food in future. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: (a) whether he could invite the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) to investigate the fraud by the Mara Conservancy and the Directors of Oloolo Game Ranch who have prevented the County Council of Trans Mara from conducting any business for over a year; view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: (b) whether he could also order an independent audit of the books of accounts for the Mara Conservancy, while ensuring that the county council gets a competent Clerk; and, view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: (c) whether he could give an undertaking to prosecute persons who have defrauded the county council and recover all monies due to the council. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question has been hanging for a long time. This is about fraud at a county council. It is about corruption. It is about requesting the Minister to audit, recover the monies stolen and punish those involved. The Minister has attempted to give some answer but I believe that he is totally misled by his staff for some reasons. The Trans Mara County Council has not worked for one year because of court injunctions. No single case was heard by any court of law until the matter went to the High Court and the Court of Appeal, ... view
