• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am dissatisfied with the answer, although the Assistant Minister has made an effort. You have heard the Assistant Minister talk of 14th January, 2010. This officer would not have been assigned duties in 2010 when he went missing in January, 2007. How can you assign duties to a person who died or got lost three years ago? This answer is incorrect. The widow has been writing to the Commissioner of Police since May, 2007. She has never received a reply as to what happened to her husband, yet in his answer the Assistant Minister says ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is three years not good enough time for this Government to have decided whether this man is dead or alive, and even assist his family, the wife with her young children? The Assistant Minister keeps on telling us that they will investigate. Surely, is he in order to just tell us that he is investigating? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I disagree with the Assistant Minister. The wife has been writing to the Commissioner of Police for any assistance and for three years she has not even received a response. Could the Assistant Minister tell us when he will come back to the House to confirm that this widow has been assisted for three years by the Government? She has not even received a reply from your office. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Why do you stand up when I am talking? Is he in order to stand up? Is he in order to stand up when I am on my feet? The Assistant Minister is taking this case very casually. For three years this widow, and her young children, have not even received a reply from the Commissioner of Police to say what happened to her husband. Is the Assistant Minister in order? Could he confirm to this House that this Government will take care of the widow and the children while he is investigating to find out what happened to this ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This widow has written to the Commissioner of Police. Could I be given time to bring the letters she has been writing since 2007? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, she has written. She even travelled all the way from Murang’a, came to Pangani and was given escort all the way to Kakamega after she had written without getting a response. This officer was on duty and it is the responsibility of the Assistant Minister to have taken action. He should not have ignored the lady for three years. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I be given time to bring documents to prove that she has asked for assistance? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the Assistant Minister insists that he wants a letter requesting for payment, then I will request the lady to do that. There is no problem. What I am not happy about is the way the Assistant Minister has held this request for three years. A letter can be done but would you commit the Ministry that once the request is made, you will pay? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister referred to a document he calls Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSEP). He is also aware of the policy of Education for All (EFA) for this country by 2015. Is he in order not to commit the Government and tell this House that the Kenya Government is ready to fulfill what they have promised the nation? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she is aware that on 28th July, 2009, Athi Water Services Board advertised for the expression of interest for design and building of Maragua Dam, whose site is downstream of Maragua and Gikigii rivers confluence; (b) what area the dam will cover upon completion and how many farmers will be affected; and, (c) whether she could assure the House that the farmers will be compensated. view
