• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Assistant Minister for at least, making an effort to be here. However, my question has been answered unsatisfactorily. During thelast heavy rains, all those roads were washed away and the District Roads Engineer (DRE) wrote to the Ministry for help. It is now seven months since then, yet no work has been done. The Assistant Minister is now telling this House that he will use 24 per cent and 16 per cent of the money allocated to District Roads Committees to repair the roads. We specifically asked for emergency ... view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all now see the effects of unfair distribution of roads money. Recently, in the current financial year Budget, my district got a paltry Kshs3 million, while others got as much as Kshs1 billion. If Gem Constituency was in those favoured districts, we would not be asking this Question. The Ministry has also changed the mode of procurement that the DWOs use. To put a line of culverts which costs only Kshs100,000, they cannot use LSOs and have to do tendering which takes six to seven months. Could the Assistant Minister enlighten this House on what ... view

Year in, year out, when elections take place you will see television footages showing people being openly bribed. Is the Assistant Minister aware of these malpractices? What has he done also about the Mayor of Nairobi City who openly increased his salary and allowances? view

• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to say that he is a good Assistant Minister. So, let us give him a chance. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Minister and this Vote. First of all, I want to join hon. Justin Muturi in complaining that in the Minister's Development Vote, Siaya District is not included. There is a trend in this country currently where resources are going where they are not needed at all. Areas where they are needed, most people are not getting anything at all. Siaya Town Council is responsible for Siaya Town. Siaya Town does not have an inch of tarmac road. That town does not have even toilets. There is no bus ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not call some hon. Members thieves. view
