• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Right from the outset, I would like to thank and commend the hon. Member for bringing this important Motion. I wish she had brought it earlier. I hope that her constituents will recognise and appreciate the Motions she has been bringing to this House so that they can give her another chance to come back to this House and see that the Motions are implemented. In the old days, before the Western culture uprooted the African culture, orphans used to be ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: We now have the Free Primary Education (FPE) programme in place. However, this is of no benefit to the orphans of this country. First, they cannot afford to buy uniforms. Secondly, they cannot get food. You cannot study if you have not eaten. We do not provide free health care. Therefore, those children have to provide that for themselves. In fact, maybe as the Bible says, orphans belong to God. He is the one who provides for their good health such that they do not fall ill very often. However, they are very vulnerable to persuasion by social misfits in ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Kisii Municipality, we do have engineers and architects and yet it has taken so long for the municipality to construct the Daraja Mbili Market which is a time-bomb waiting to explode and we shall have many deaths because there are many hawkers who sell their wares along the Kisii-Kisumu Road. Could the Assistant Minister either use those engineers in Kisii Municipality to design and construct that market or send his engineers to construct that market? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologise. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister is saying that he does not have money when, in fact, the budget for the Ministry of Health has been increased from 5 per cent to 8 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Could he consider looking for special funds, including the money arising from the cost-sharing programme to support these projects? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to blame the hon. Member for his own failure? Could the Assistant Minister be asked to withdraw that remark and apologise to hon. Sambu? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes, my friend, the Assistant Minister surprises me. He answered that this contractor had the capacity to do the work when the tender was awarded. But he has come back and said that the contractor has now acquired new machines. This means that he did not have the machines at that time. The same contractor has failed to provide service in Nyanza and Budalangi. The other day Mr. Wanjala complained because of the state of roads in Budalangi. He has also done shoddy work on the Kisii-Keroka Road. What is in this contractor who does not ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. This country has been ravaged by special interests who combine conspiratorial forces to fleece Kenyans. This is because the laws that have been enacted to protect the consumers and poor persons are rarely enforced. This Parliament has been, to some extent, idle. It has not addressed the issues of cartels, conspiracies and fraud. If you go to any of the major supermarkets in this country; the Nakumatts and Woolworths, you can see clearly that there is a cartel-like business. Whenever companies ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: can import textiles cheaply from China, India and other countries to the detriment of Kenyans. About 50,000 Kenyans who were employed in the textile industry are jobless today. In fact, they have been turned into criminals in their own country. So, we must enact a law that protects the Kenyan interests; the poor man. This House is equivalent to the House of Commons; a House of people who represent the common man. Definitely, we should show that we truly represent the common man that we tax. We should protect that common man from these conspiratorial forces that fleece them into ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you say "present and sitting" or 145 Members of the entire House? view
