• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I see hon. Duale has gone out. I wanted to hand over to him a list of Ministries that are manned by people from the same area. We have the Tana and Athi Water Services, Ministry of State for Special Programmes, Ministry of the East African Community, universities like Maseno, Masinde Muliro and Moi. When you look at the District Commissioners (DCs) and Provincial Commissioners (PCs) in some of those areas, they all seem to be coming from the same area. But, more importantly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is another reason why the Cabinet needs to be trimmed so that it can be able to respond to issues like this one. Because of their huge number, they do not know where they should be at any given time. If you witnessed, when we started debating this Bill, the Front Bench was virtually empty. But now, when we have three Assistant Ministers--- I want to support this Bill because the number of Cabinet Ministers has made it difficult for them to serve the people. We have had occasions in this House where Ministers ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: With regard to health, at times, we do not know which Minister we should ask Questions. Many of us will go through the five-year term without knowing the difference between the Ministry of Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o and that of Mrs. Mugo. It is difficult to understand their different roles. We also have the Ministry for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Areas. In my opinion, it is not proper to have a Ministry that is dealing with a given region. It is important to have a Ministry that is cross-cutting. One hon. Member said that it is like we are ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he was not here yesterday and he is now in the House. Welcome back, Waziri. I think the issue of qualification is also important. We were out recently and I came across a Minister in this country. What the Minister did in the conference that we were was really embarrassing to this country. Before long, the Minister found himself in the wrong place and went shopping. The Minister was not there when we were required to make interventions on behalf of the country. This is because one feels inadequate when he or she sits among ... view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my constituency, a dam was allocated Kshs3 million under the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme. When Kshs1.7 had been used, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation indicated that it had exhausted the funds. What percentage of the Kazi kwa Vijana money is supposed to be used for administration costs? view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I mentioned the Ministry of Water and Irrigation but my question was: What percentage of the Kazi kwa Vijana money from the Ministry of Roads is supposed to be used to cater for administration costs? We should be told this so that we can know whether this money is used in the offices or to pay the young people who work in the field. view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these authorities have the tendency to use money on the lower part of the areas under their jurisdiction. Part “b” of the answer says the amount was utilized. It is important for us to know how this money was utilized. How much of it was allocated to the upper zones that have the water towers which feed these authorities downstream? view

• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. The issue of the re-appointment of Justice Aaron Ringera, Dr. Wanjala and Ms. Fatuma Sichale has generated a lot of interest within this House and in the public. However, it has view
