• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the Assistant Minister’s answer, it appears to me that the outcome of these investigations is being left solely in the hands of Canadian Police. Could he confirm to this House that the High Commission is able and willing to hire legal counsel to represent the family in the course of these investigations? view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the hon. Minister say that he does not know who asks for pay for P3 forms, but he must know that in cases of actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, attempted rape, rape and indecent assault, the police issue P3 forms free. But when they are presented by the legal personnel for filling, that is where they are asked to pay between Kshs300 to Kshs500. Is it in order for the Minister to say that he does not know where this is paid? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) to inform the House the plans the Ministry has to enhance House Allowance for teachers in schools in Kisumu Municipality within the framework of the new Constitution, considering that the allowance paid to teachers engaged by the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) is higher for those working in the City of Nairobi; and, (b) what steps the Ministry is taking to co-ordinate with the Ministry of Local Government to enhance salaries for teachers in Kisumu Municipality. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I find this answer unsatisfactory because the Ministry is fully aware that house allowances for teachers in municipalities, particularly in Kisumu Municipality, are lower than those in the City of Nairobi because of the status of the city. Probably the Assistant Minister is aware that we just came from a rigorous workshop in Naivasha in which we were discussing the preparedness of the Ministry of Local Government in devolution. One of the Draft Bills that we were discussing is how we are going to classify cities and towns in the devolved system. Under these circumstances, what ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that we are just from a two- day rigorous workshop in Naivasha, discussing the preparedness of the Ministry of Local Government in the devolved system of government and one of the issues that we discussed at length was how we are going to classify cities and towns in the devolved system. So, in these circumstances, what is the preparedness of the Ministry of Education in enhancing the House Allowance of teachers who are serving in municipalities when that comes into effect? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is aware that in the year 2001, the former President Moi, in the presence of the President of Uganda and Tanzania declared Kisumu a city. Since then, what has the Ministry done to ensure that teachers get the city status allowances? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say that NETFUND is a creation of NEMA; it a body created by NEMA. But, clearly, that cannot be so because NETFUND is a creation under Section 24(3) of the Act. It is an independent fund and to that extent, I wish to table here a letter to the Chairman of NETFUND by the Solicitor-General dated 15th May, 2011, in which clearly the Solicitor-General advised that unless a trust deed is registered, the fund will not be able to operate. So, is it in order ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Minister to tell the House that there is no direct evidence to show that the locals are being deprived, when in the supplementary information to this Question, she has clearly indicated that there was Kansai Mining Corporation of Canada that was given a licence to prospect and explore in 1989 and, in 2002, that company bought shares in Mid Migori Mining and the main shareholders of the company’s inclusion are one Stanley Joseph Mathenge and one Y.W. Owayo? Mr. Mathenge was then the Provincial ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with your ruling that the Question should be listed. However, I am concerned about the inability of the Attorney-General to come to the House in the recent past. There is a need by the Executive to take charge of this situation. Day in, day out, the Attorney-General fails to come to the House. Is it in order for the Chair to keep on postponing matters when the Attorney-General should be here? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I sympathise with the sentiments of hon. Khalwale about the continued remand of these Kenyans. I agree with him in the first part of his request. However, as we talk about the release of these people, I want the Chair to understand that these Kenyans have not been remanded because of what they did at State House. It is because of the insulting language they used in court, and their disorderly conduct in court. That is a completely a different matter. I am a strong believer in the rights of the ... view
