• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last year, the Ministry of Education and the WFP had targeted to feed 1.39 million children at mid-day. The purpose is to enhance retention, attention and improve nutrition. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House how many children are under the SFP up to now, bearing in mind that we have had drought and famine in the entire country? view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we commend the Ministry for a job well done in some parts of this country, could the Assistant Minister tell us why the contractor started repairing part of the Murang’a-Kenol Road and then removed the machinery? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Prime Minister to clarify whether he has left out Kajiado or not? This is because the herders have driven their animals all the way to Thika. What criterion was used to leave Kajiado out of this programme? The Maasai are all over Central Province. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the allocation by the Ministry of Kshs10,265 per student in secondary schools is admittedly inadequate. This has made the principals to disregard the guidelines given by the Ministry of Education. Instead of charging Kshs18,260 per annum, some schools have escalated the fees up to over Kshs30,000. Could the Assistant Minister deny that the delay in disbursement has led to the principals overcharging the parents? Even the bursaries we give are not adequate to keep our boys and girls in secondary schools. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Assistant Minister confirm or deny that those tall structures surrounding the airport are a risk to the aircraft landing daily at the airport? view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Question is not about TARDA and KenGen. The list is for local authoriies. The Minister is avoiding to answer that. Could he table the agreement between TARDA and the county councils? view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his attempt to answer the Question, the Assistant Minister has talked about the superior semen that is being provided by private providers. The cost of that superior semen ranges between Kshs5,000 to Kshs10,000 per shot. Could the Assistant Minister assure us that he is going to borrow a leaf from the Minister for Agriculture and subsidize that semen cost? The poor farmers cannot afford it! view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are no Government technicians providing those services in my constituency! view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: The point of order is that we do not have a Government technician providing those services. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: He did not address the issue I raised about the cost of Kshs5,000 to Kshs10,000 per shot. Could he do that? view
