2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we were out doing the work of the departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on issues of procurement out of the country, the conditions that prevail are completely different from those within our country. It is important that the Director General, even as he takes over the running of this institution, he looks at how possible it is that the Act can be reviewed to make it possible for those outside the country to be able to fulfil terms that will ensure we get value for money. One of the things that are ...

2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I expect the new Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Juma to look into this and propose amendments to the Act to suit those out of the country and especially our missions in other countries so that we can also continue getting services in a manner that is good for this nation. This will also ensure that we do not get our properties wasted because of our strict procurement regulations.

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to the slum areas within urban areas, we also have squatters in the rural constituencies who are also in need of housing. What is the policy of the Ministry towards housing of squatters in the rural areas?

The answer the Assistant Minister has given touches on provincial headquarters. We are talking about rural constituencies like Ndaragwa that does not enjoy the neighbourhood of such big towns. What is the policy of the Ministry towards those Kenyans who also need to benefit from that programme?

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my constituency borders Kieni. Across the valley, we have schools in Kieni that benefit from this national food feeding programme. Schools in Ndaragwa, which is across the ridge, do not benefit. We have children from Ndaragwa who actually feel discriminated against. When was this survey last done? How often is it reviewed, so that areas like Ndaragwa, which are also ASAL, benefit and stop suffering from this historical and political discrimination?

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The question was specific. When was the last survey done and how often is it reviewed? The Minister has given a lot of verbosity and I think he should be clearer.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to ask the Mover to reply? We all seem to be supporting the Finance Bill.

27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for granting me this opportunity to contribute. I stand here as a Member of the Committee and support the Report that we did. I want to single out the Chairman for the zeal with which he guided us and was able to obtain documents, and also the clarity and focus that he had through and through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we continue judging others, because that is what we are doing â it is part of our role â it is important that we know that it is not those whom we are judging that ...

27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as I finish I am happy with the sentiments expressed by hon. Karua that even as we move to shape up the Government, we also need to be careful of the way we do it. In a short while, we, as hon. Members, are all managing the CDF accounts in our constituencies. These accounts are also being audited. When our names are mentioned as having misused the CDF funds, I think we should also take the honourable position and step aside from managing these funds just like we are doing with the Executive. This is a ...
