• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did check in my constituency last week and not in the last one month. The situation on the ground in my area, which is not far from Nairobi, is that we have young people who are still waiting for their identity cards two years down the line. It is not an isolated case. My question to the Minister is this: He has indicated that there are forms that have been referred back to the applicants for the reason that they were not properly filled. They did not indicate whether they were replacement or new applications. ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we agree with what the Minister has said – that he has done a lot – but one of the good things about our Constitution is that we provided for devolution, so that any incoming Government does not do away with devolution. It will be part and parcel of our governance structure from the year 2013 view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The amount of money that the Minister claims to have paid as allowances amount to about Kshs46 million. The Question is seeking to know who that money was spent on and if it was spent properly. Is the Minister in order to avoid tabling those documents irrespective of the volume because this House has capacity to deal with voluminous documents? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the document that the Minister has tabled, on page 7; the persons who travelled and received allowances, number 11 on netball, my understanding of the game of netball is that it is played by seven people and it is played by ladies. The list that has been tabled by the Minister has 28 players for the netball team, 13 of whom are men. Could he explain why almost 50 per cent of the team, who were men, were doing in the netball team? Did they play a game and if so, what were the results? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you realize that the Assistant Minister did not answer the question that was asked by Mr. Gitari. The question was “why?” When he got in touch with the NCPB, they must have told him why they closed the depot. The other thing is that we have only 20 days to the end of the month. Could he tell us the date when he will open the NCPB depot in Molo? We want to know the date and not to be told a story! view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason why these Questions were raised under Private Notice is because of the urgency of the matter. Allowing the Assistant Minister until next week to answer them will have negated the essence of asking Questions by Private Notice. Why can he not answer them tomorrow? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister says that there is a preliminary report. Could he table that report for us to go through, before this House takes a position of apologizing to people selectively? This is a bigger issue and you cannot come to the Floor to seek for an apology on behalf of somebody. I think we need to take these issues more seriously than we are doing. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. On the 30th of March this year, the Minister came to this House and provided an answer. The same Question was asked on the 30th March and he answered that the amount was Kshs534, 000. He said: “Delay in payment was occasioned by transport problems due to poor road network, lack of local suppliers of tree seedlings hence seedlings were procured in small quantities and vastness of the district”. The answer the Minister is providing now is to the point; that an officer misappropriated the funds. Could he clarify which of ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to just draw the attention of the House that the report that was tabled in this House by hon. Namwamba was dealing with the same issue. If one was to go to page 82 of the report, there is a whole paragraph that deals with high inflation and depreciation of the Kenya Shilling. So, the Committee that has just finished its work dealt with the same issue. I think that it is not prudent for this House to keep on duplicating issues, because we must also be seen ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also on a point of order. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the report has been tabled. view
