• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: would resemble somewhere in South Korea. Okay? If we give the balance to the Chairman’s county, it will be like somewhere in Scotland. So, what we are saying is that it does not require a referendum to give to the National Government Level 3 and above hospitals, so that they can maintain adequate service and standards. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, right now, we have got a problem. I was talking to the Chairman of the Doctors Association and he told me that they have got a big problem. A doctor is posted say, for example, to Marsabit. The conditions there are quite difficult. He is not given an allowance to take care of those challenges that he is going to experience. So, he quits and, therefore, the standards of that hospital remain poor. They have not yet developed local manpower that can take over from the doctor who has quit. So, to maintain standards, and health ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The two young men included an old man called “Eng. Karue” and another old man called “Jimmy Angwenyi”. At that time, we were young. We were the age of my students here. What I am saying is that the CDF has been very effective in serving the people at the grassroots. Unfortunately, former President Moi could not sign that Bill after the National Assembly had passed it. So, we had to bring it back to Parliament after Mr. Kibaki took power. When Mr. Kibaki took power, his Minister for Finance then, Mr. Mwiraria, told us that we should not have ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my time is almost up. What I am saying is that this is a good Bill. We should resolve our differences with the Senate and work together harmoniously, so that we can improve on what we have done. I am glad that my former student was among the Members who mediated this Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like the Chairman to clarify whether that programme can be extended to areas which have not been known to be arid like Kisii? We had this disease which came from Bomet and destroyed all our maize. We need relief food in our schools and for our people. Could the Chairman clarify whether the programme can be extended to the Kisii County? view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for preserving some time for me. I started commenting on this Motion yesterday and I want to proceed. If you look at the Ministry of Defence, you have given a hefty amount of money; Kshs78 billion for Recurrent Expenditure. I hope they will use these resources appropriately by assisting police to bring down incidences of terrorism in this country. I suggest that they deploy army in Suguta Valley. I understand these days, not even the governor of that county can go to Suguta. I understand that the President postponed his trip to that area because of ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I lost my voice when I went to campaign for Opore. We have given the National Intelligence Service Kshs.17 billion. That is almost as much money as what they have given Parliament. We are being warned everywhere and there is no intelligence being applied effectively. I do not know how they will account for this Kshs.17 billion. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government has been given Kshs.80 billion. I hope they will provide proper housing for our policemen. They should also provide proper equipment and facilities for our policemen. I was in my constituency last ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have looked at the allocation for the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. This Ministry should be allocated more funds because agriculture is the mainstay of the economy of Kenya. I can give an example. The small time tea growers are never been assisted by the Government when they are building their factories or whatever development they are doing in their areas. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Loans have been written off from time to time in other sectors like coffee and sugar. They should allocate more money and set aside some money for value addition in coffee, tea and cotton. We should grow more cotton. Why are we importing cotton when we have large land lying idle in Nyenze’s place? We can use that land to grow cotton so that we can manufacture textiles instead of importing mitumba from abroad. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
