• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we sent this answer a long time ago. That is because the Question was asked two or three months ago. Maybe, he did not check from his office. It was sent. view

• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry funds projects across all areas under its jurisdiction and not necessarily on the basis of constituencies. The projects, their identification and prioritization is a continuous process and only those projects that have gone through the preliminary processes and estimates are funded. The funds referred to were part of development funds released during the first half allocation of the period of July to December, 2010. The second half for the allocation to various sector activities will be disbursed in due course and Wajir South Constituency is among others being prioritized for ... view

• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: (c) My Ministry was created in the words of His Excellency the President; “to address the unique challenges facing northern Kenya and other arid lands”. It was established in line with Agenda Four to reduce inequalities between these areas and the rest of Kenya. Its mandate is to develop policy and the prioritization of programmes and projects across a range of areas as well as the implementation of some special programmes. view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sewerage project covers about four constituencies and it is being utilized by the entire Wajir Town. That is a project that is ongoing and which needs to be funded. In the funding of projects for 2009/2010, Wajir South got Kshs10 million while Wajir North got about Kshs5 million. So, it keeps on fluctuating every year. One year, the constituency could get more funding than the others and the following year, the allocation could be less. In the next financial year, if he has other bigger projects that he needs to be considered, he could be subjected ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the allegations made by the hon. Member are not correct because as I have said, we give funding to projects which are prioritized at the district level. The proposals are normally presented to the District Steering Committee which analyzes and comes up with priorities as per the requests from other districts. They could still do so through District Steering Committees and they will be given consideration. view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that was an oversight. The last question he asked was on part “c”. My Ministry works in four main areas. (i) We work to ensure a more conducive policy and institutional environment for ASAL development. (ii)We promote stronger co-ordination of development across geographical areas. (iii)We implement specific projects which add value to what Ministries, departments and authorities are already doing. (iv)We engage at regional level. My Ministry has not achieved its mandate. That would not be a reasonable expectation after less than three years’ work given the decades of under-investment and inappropriate development that have ... view
