• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question has been on the Order Paper for quite a while now. So, I will be happy if he answers it this week. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let him answer it on Tuesday, next week then. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister should be responsible for the facts of the Statement he has issued. In my constituency, we have Ndaragwa Forest and within it, there is not a single seedling that has been planted by the Kenya Forests Services (KFS) and yet, that ban affected us. The Minister has given the justification for the ban on the basis that the seedlings that have been planted are being destroyed by animals. I think it is important for the Minister to come out clearly on this because those in Ndaragwa have also been affected by that ban ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answers that we have continued to receive in the past two weeks on the issue of maize, to say the least, are very distressing. It is like farmers really have to struggle alone through this process. It is only last year that we had difficulties in feeding this nation. This year, we had a good harvest but the Ministry and the Government seem to have forgotten that very quickly. Many of these farmers approach financial institutions to be able to cater for the cost of planting, the seeds and everything else. They need to repay ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for forewarning the nation, I would like to know from him how much they have set aside to make sure that we do not experience what we went through last year. We have a bumper harvest in most parts of Rift Valley but right now, one bag of maize is being bought at Kshs600 and yet previously, we were buying it at over Kshs3,000. How much money has the Government set aside for tomorrow’s drought? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister, in his answer, has admitted that there was delay. I wonder whether he has really read the Question. He has admitted that there is delay in the disbursement of these funds. Unfortunately, he has also said that the last disbursement was triggered by this Question which is very dangerous. Be that as it may, there is an obvious loss of learning time by the public primary school pupils and yet they undertake the same exams as those in private schools. They are graded the same and they compete for secondary school opportunities based ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is still endeavoring to explain what he will do in future in terms of disbursement of the funds. I have asked what the Ministry has done to ensure that the ground is level for candidates, both in private and public schools, now that they compete for the same places, based on their performance in the exams that they are about to undertake. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is asking for more time to look at the list that he has brought to the House. This does not add up. If you go through this list, you will find that 126 boreholes have been drilled in one sub-region. If you look at the Upper Eastern, you will find that only one borehole was drilled in the last three years. If you go to the Nyandarua County, you will find that only two boreholes were drilled in the last two years. No single borehole has been drilled ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could you then give a timeframe within which that Committee should come back to the Floor of the House with the answer? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. First, I would like to congratulate all Kenyans for enacting a new Constitution in a very peaceful manner. We now can say proudly that we have a Constitution that will be availed to generations to come. As we go on a recess, it is important to note that we still have the IDPS. In my constituency, I recently received a total of about 2,000 IDPS. Those are issues that we would certainly want to deal with during the recess. It is important that those issues ... view
