• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Minister, I want to draw her attention to the fact that when that dam will be constructed, it will affect four constituencies; Mathioya, Kangema, Kiharu, Kigumo and even Maragua. An area covering four kilometers square is a large area. That is one of the resources of the Murang’a County. We have Ndakaini Dam which serves Nairobi County. The advert that was posted on the papers said that they will use Irate Mathioya and Maragua rivers. That dam is going to serve Nairobi and Ongata Rongai among other areas. ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having experienced some problems in the development of dams in this country, could the Minister commit the Government and tell this House that before the dam is operational--- She has talked about other sources that will supply water to the community. Could those sources be identified now so that the communities are provided with water before the dam is operational? That is because once the dam is completed, no one will talk to the communities. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us whether he is aware that for the last one month, there has been a shortage of insulin which is part of the treatment required for diabetic patients? In one hospital in my constituency, Muriranjas Hospital, there has not been any insulin since September, 2010. What has the Assistant Minister done to ensure that insulin is available in all our public hospitals? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Assistant Minister confirm whether insulin is available or not? For the last one month, it has not been available at Muriranjas Hospital. Has insulin been available since last month? view

• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your attention. He has just handed over the written answer to me, and the paper here is giving incorrect information to this House. The airstrip was levelled in the year 2007 and maram was put on it. Shall we continue with the answer when it is incorrect? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is similar to that of the Assistant Minister. The airstrip is there, but he has said that it is not there. Is it one of the 146 airstrips they have visited countrywide? I would request the indulgence of the Chair. If they do not know where the airstrip is, I am ready that we defer this Question, so that I can take the Assistant Minister to the site. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree, but we should go there and see the airstrip. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the cost of education in this country is getting very high. If you take the example of training a P1 teacher for two years, you will realise that the cost of buying material is more than the tuition fees. This is the case and yet these teachers get out of college and stay for three or four years before they are employed. What can the Ministry do to reduce the extra expenses, make it more conducive and relevant, considering the fact that those students spend a lot of money? We know it is not the responsibility of ... view

Could he confirm to this House that the Ministry is able to give quality education when the allocation has been reduced? view
