• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. The road network is the circulation system of an economy. This year's Budget has tried to address some of the issues we raised last year. However, they have not all been addressed. July 19, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2225 view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, the infrastructure, especially the roads is what maintains an effective and positive economy. Year in, year out, we have seen certain areas which do not receive any money for repair and construction of roads. Some of these issues have been addressed in this year's Budget. I hope most of them will be cleared next year. I would like to thank the Minister for allocating funds for a very important road, the Mai Mahiu-Nakuru Road. This road is impassable at present. I hope the amount which has been set aside for that road ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. First, I want to commend the Mover, hon. J.M. Mutiso, for bringing it. It now looks like this Parliament is trying to engage itself with matters that affect the poor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, shelter is a necessity in life. Therefore, we must engage ourselves in providing proper and adequate housing for our people. All of us in this House should support the spirit of this Motion, if we are concerned about our people. Recently, the Government announced a policy ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Right from the outset, I would like to thank hon. Midiwo for coming up with this Motion. As he has said, this country needs a body that ensures that people get the good quality products and services that they purchase. I realize that we have the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), which deals with those things, but those agencies are not consumer-oriented. They are Government agencies, but they have been compromised. They are staffed with bureaucrats who have been in the system for a long time and who have developed ways of siphoning ... view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all hon. Members know the purpose of the Printed Estimates presented before this Parliament. We know why we tax our people. There is no single Item in this Budget that refers to bursaries for secondary schools. The Assistant Minister should not take this House for a ride by saying that the money is reflected in the Printed Estimates when we know it is not there. Could she bring to this House the Printed Estimates that contain the Item for bursaries? view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Before Mr. Wetangula sits down, could he tell us the name of the NGO that plays politics instead of dealing with cereals? view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. First of all, I want to commend the Minister for bringing this Sessional Paper. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country lacks a proper legislative framework to manage NGOs. As a result, they have gone wild. Today, I understand we have in excess of 4,000 NGOs in this country, but when I look around in my constituency, Kitutu Chache, with a population of over 300,000, there is only one NGO which has moved into that constituency, but which was not acceptable ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that seems to be a very simple matter. Why can the ECK not create two polling stations in each of the two constituencies, away from the two which are being contested? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister table a list of the amount of money spent in each constituency to fight poverty? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the July 12, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2035 Minister of State for Administration and National Security, with regard to the violent arrest and brutal beating of the Member for Magarini, Mr. Kombe this afternoon. The Member's arrest is allegedly because of a civil debt that he owes the hon. Khamisi. I would like to know whether police officers are employed to collect debt for private citizens, and whether they are allowed to brutally beat up Members of Parliament as well as members of the public in their debt collection ... view
