• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the learned gentleman, who is a medical doctor, in order to imply that the prevalence rate in Nyanza Province is much higher when, in fact, he knows that many cases go un-reported? view

• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Are you convinced that the hon. Member on the Floor is actually following the Motion? This is a Motion asking for the permission of this House to have a Bill entitled "Orphaned and Vulnerable Children Fund Bill". He is on the medical aspect, but we want to focus on the orphans, their problems and their plight. That is what the Motion is--- view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Although the speaker who has just been on the Floor is my good friend, I think one thing that he has missed is the fact of the importance of this Motion. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to support this, and say that this is one of the most important Motions that have come to the Floor of this House. I want to take the opportunity to congratulate Prof. Mango for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. Orphans can be created by any cause, including accidents and other diseases like cancer. But we must also submit that, in fact, the cause of the vast majority of orphans is HIV/AIDS, and this is because it tends to affect both parents. Therefore, it is right to ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: The "black scourge". It was plague, in fact. It killed about a third of the population Europe sometime back during the medieval age. Even during the Second World War, Europe lost a lot of its population. We are having a lost generation amongst us which does not have support, because they are orphans. This is not their fault! Therefore, I want to plead with the Ninth Parliament to support this Motion and ensure that, that Prof. Mango brings a Bill, so that we can support our children. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Regarding the same Item, I want to raise a similar question, although it is related to the next Item. The first Item is on Athi River Water Services Board, Item No.2630100, and the sum allocated to it is Kshs200 million. If you compare that with Item No.2630100, Lake Victoria South Water Services Board, which has an allocation of only Kshs70 million--- Further down, the same Item, Lake Victoria North Water Services Board, has an allocation of Kshs53 million. If you compare that amount with what has been allocated to the Athi River Water ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko! It is called Pand Pier! And when I am in the Chair, I am not the hon. Member for Kisumu Town East Constituency! view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman Sir, I am not entirely satisfied. I am also a resident of Nairobi. In fact, I spend most of my time in Nairobi. I also know that the Nairobi City Council has a water services company. In fact, they have a lot of revenue and their supplies come from North Murang'a. That explanation, therefore, is not adequate because the amount of money that Nairobi City Council gets from its services is so much that it does not need any more money to be given to them. It would be wrong. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Head 716, page 881 - Water Services Boards, Sub-Head 0146 - Northern Water Services Board, you will notice that there is only a figure of Kshs10 million. Given the fact that the Northern Water Services Board covers a very large area and in view of the Government's stated extension of affirmative action, is the Minister satisfied that a mere sum of Kshs10 million is enough to cater for Recurrent Expenditure in the whole of that region, given that communication can be very expensive? view
