• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform the Assistant Minister that the bridge was not rehabilitated in 2008. His officers removed the rails and did not do any construction. I request the Assistant Minister to indicate how much the bridge will cost and how much he is ready to commit for its rehabilitation. This is because those officers removed the rails and did not do anything on the site. view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the death of Esther in June this year and now we are in November, I have not heard the Assistant Minister confirm that the Ministry is taking any action to transport the body to Kenya for burial. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that the Ministry is making adequate arrangements to get the body back to Kenya since the death occurred six months ago? view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his answer, the Assistant Minister has stated that he is not yet aware of what happened at the gate of the college. Would it be in order for us to conclude that poor management and disregard of the families who had gone to witness the graduation of their family members was the cause of the stampede? view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing:- (a) whether he is aware that small scale dairy farmers are likely to experience a glut in milk production in the country, and; (b) what steps the Government has taken through the New KCC to ensure that a strategic reserve to absorb the surplus milk is set up. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has admitted that his Ministry is not capable of handling an increase in milk production yet we have observed and seen some farms being authorized to import milk products into this country. Could he tell this House whether the Government is committed to promote the local industry other than support importers and foreign industries, while not supporting our farmers? view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the efforts by the Minister to expand on this one, he has evaded telling this House what specific amount of money his Ministry requires from Treasury to be able to set up a programme that will assist the small scale farmers when these events take place. Could he be specific and tell the House what he requires? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is surprising for the Assistant Minister to say that the councils will wait for potatoes to be harvested in order to pay Government employees. Could he tell us whether there is a policy on how to utilize LATF money from the Central Government rather than waiting for crops to mature? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir the answer given by the Assistant Minister is a little bit disturbing. We have children homes in many other areas. In my constituency, we have two children homes. One is at Koibi and the other one called “Upendo” is in Likindu Location. He said that such institutions have to apply for the funds and renew their registration. There is a department on the ground, which is concerned with such programmes. Could he be clear on the policy? This is being inconsiderate of children’s rights. Children are supposed to have education, shelter and food. Who is ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do appreciate the effort that the Assistant Minister is making in trying to give a wrong explanation. However, the point is that the issue of inadequate facilities is not only being experienced in one area of the country because all hospitals experience this problem. In his answer, the Assistant Minister said that if the hospital in question provided facilities, he would provide the equipment. I can give the Assistant Minister an example of Muriranja District Hospital in my area where we have put up a facility for X-ray and for the last four years, ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order not to respond to what was raised last time? He was asked to table evidence that this warden or askari was cut. That was the point of contention. view
