• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. What this Motion is seeking is something which this country should have done a long time ago for the sake of distribution of the much needed and limited resources that we have. I want to begin by saying that Siaya District is the largest district in the country. We are 640,000 people in one district even though this country has districts with 40,000 people only. Last month, during the AP recruitment exercise, each district was allocated an average of 18 recruits. So, ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question requires a good answer with regard to the problems which we are experiencing in this country in the area of roads construction. This country must address the issue of shoddy work by contractors, if we wish to improve the infrastructure. I want to draw the Minister's attention to the road from Kisiani to Bondo. The road was completed, but there is not a single marking on it. You cannot drive on that road at night without witnessing an accident. The markets along the road were not paved and they have moved from the market centres ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of Kisumu being a city is a major one because we need to know, as a country, when the President goes somewhere and declares something publicly - for example, formation of new districts and cities - at what point do we respect that? That is because some of those things are used on us all the time just for the sake of getting votes! Kisumu is a large city and the people have known that it is a city. Nobody in Kenya is unaware that Kisumu is a city. So, could the Minister promise that, ... view

• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek clarification and add something to the issue that was raised by Mr. Linturi about the conduct of Ministers. This is something that concerns me. It is the issue about what hon. Members can say here and the effect of what they say in this House to businesses outside. This morning a Question by Ms. Shabesh was asked about Alvaro drink and it was answered. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen in the media that there is war between Coca Cola and East African Breweries ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Vote. This is an important Vote at an important moment. First of all, I want to begin by commending this Ministry under this Minister, particularly in the last couple of years. From where I see things as an hon. Member, the Ministry of Energy has done a lot. In the last two or three years, the Ministry of Energy has done more than was done in the last 20 years. I want to ask them to do more. The Ministry has been very responsive ... view
