• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has been said here before - and I wish to repeat it - that the Ministry of Special Programmes is paying undue attention to IDPs living in Central and Rift Valley provinces. There are communities in Kenya which, even after the disruption of 2008, find it difficult to go and live in camps. So, they opted to go and live with relatives. They were not aware that they were required to report to the district officers. As a result of that, they were not registered. Under those circumstances, what is the Ministry’s policy to ensure that ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the first part of the answer by the Minister, she says that she is aware that there are many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who fled their homes and went to stay with their relatives. In the second part, she says that in Kisumu, she will not allow registration of these IDPs because the period for doing so elapsed on 31st December, 2008. Could the Minister tell us the legal basis for putting the deadline to 31st December, 2008, and not thereafter when there are IDPs who are not registered now? view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to avoid the Question, which was the legal basis for fixing the date of 31st December, 2008? What is the legal basis for it? view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, payment of rates to all local authorities is contractual. It is based on the assumption that the local authority will provide infrastructure and services to the people who pay rates in return thereof. What is the Ministry’s policy in cases where the local authority is not able to provide those services? view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, apart from the rice fields in Budalangi, in the whole of western Kenya, the only other irrigation scheme that serves the country is this one. I am concerned about the Minister’s last part of the answer where she says that she is going to encourage the Ministry of Roads to prioritize the rehabilitation of the public road. What exactly has she done to ensure that there is proper liaison between her Ministry and the Ministry of Roads, so that they can ensure that the access road to the rice irrigation scheme is properly graded? view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs:- (a) whether he is aware that Kodiaga GK Prison is not able to use its water pumping generator at Pombo on Lake Victoria and is instead diverting the waters of Saka River to supply water to the prison while discharging raw sewage to the same river downstream, (b) whether he is further aware that the diversion and the discharge of raw sewage was not subjected to an Environmental Impact Assessment and residents of Korando “A” Sub-location have been denied water and are exposed to water-borne diseases, especially cholera; and, (c) what action ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must say with all honesty and appreciation, that I had a meeting with the hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs in his office about this facility. Since then, there has been a lot of improvement. However, still a lot needs to be done. I do not want to fault my learned friend’s use of the English words, but my Question was specifically whether he was aware that the prison is diverting the waters of the stream. He has said, no, it is not being diverted, but they are using a four-inch GI Pipe. In my ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to be trivial, but the hon. Vice-President must admit that, indeed, there is a diversion. Whether it is through a GI pipe or a furrow, but there is a diversion. The river is not flowing its natural course. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the fact that co-existence between the prison and the local community has been very good, and the hon. Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs has been very useful in this regard. But the problem is that River Saka has been the only natural source of water for the locals. Indeed, when the pump was working by the lake, it was supplying the very people who were living in very close proximity to the prison. But the ones living in Lower Korando, Otonglo and up to the lake shore, are not able to ... view
