• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Mine is just about a small item, indeed, Bw. Waziri . I am concerned about the Item on Refurbishment of Buildings in both Heads. You note that last year, the Minister had some amount of money; about Kshs19 million or so, which was allocated for those buildings to be refurbished. But I note that this year and the following year, there is no provision whatsoever. I am concerned that there are some buildings which could even fall during an emergency and, therefore, there should have, at least, some provision for that item. Could ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, I will attempt to be very brief. Mine is a general concern that I must raise with the Minister. All these relate to higher education, particularly monies allocated to universities. You know I went to Maseno, not as a university but as a high school. I am very concerned that Maseno - this is in general - is getting a paltry Kshs50 million, and it is a relatively new university compared to, for example, Kenyatta University at page 770, Head 829, which is getting Kshs171 million. The doctrine of equity, as established under affirmative ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in very few words, I would like to congratulate the Minister and his capable team from the Ministry headquarters for successfully passing this Vote on the Floor of the House. Education is of great importance. In fact, Kenya is above all other countries in this area in terms of human resource development. You only need to go to the neighbouring countries and see how many qualified Kenyans are working there. That is because of our educational achievement. Therefore, I would like to encourage the Minister and his staff to continue working harder and to take ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to know from the Assistant Minister the rationale of doing one part of the road and leaving the other part. I am talking from a position of knowledge. I went to school at Nyabondo, which is even older than the Kenyan Government. This road from Sondu to Kusa serves a large economic community including the Sondu Miriu Power Plant. Could the Assistant Minister undertake to tarmack this section which was deliberately left out because of discrimination? view

• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to make a few comments on this Budget debate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some British statesman once said there are lies, damn lies and June 19, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1877 statistics. In other words, statistics do lie. I wish to take issue with the Minister with regard to his statistics on poverty level in Nyanza particularly. He says that the poverty levels in Nyanza has gone down. In real and absolute terms, this is not true, as we know it, because we come from the ground. In fact, they ... view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Rev. Nyagudi is very unwell and I did hear when you called Question No.317. view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: I apologise, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also support this Bill, and to say that it is long overdue. I want to associate myself with the remarks made by my colleagues who have spoken before me. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to establish a National Highways Authority, a Rural Roads Authority and an Urban Roads Authority is something that can help streamline the operations of the roads sector in this country. This will give them the responsibility for management, development, rehabilitation and maintenance of these roads. But before I say that, let me just ... view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Weya, you have not moved the Motion! view
