• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the answer given by the Assistant Minister, the thugs were being pursued by police officers from Kisumu Town. Indeed, around this time, there has been a spate of robberies in Kisumu particularly around the airport, Kogweny and Nyameda. Allow me to commend the Assistant Minister with regard to the confidential action that they have taken to bring down the spate of insecurity around Kisumu. That aside, what steps has the Ministry taken definitely to ensure that thugs are not just taken out of Kisumu or killed but also arrested and made to face the law? view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources:- (a) whether he is aware that Kichinjio, Usoma, Ngege, Paga and Ogal beaches in Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria have been sealed off by an influx of hyacinth; (b) what urgent steps he is taking to encourage the manual removal of the weed at nominal remuneration; and, (c) what policy framework, in conjunction with the other East African partner states and donors, the Ministry has put in place to create employment through manual removal of the weed, as is the practice on Ugandan shores. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria is surrounded by the following constituencies: Nyando, Nyakach, Kisumu Town East and Kisumu Town West. In Kisumu Town West, the beaches that are affected are Kichinjio, Usoma, Ngege, Paga and Ogal. Water hyacinth is wrecking havoc in Kisumu Port on lake navigation and fishing. It is becoming impossible to do fishing. That is why I would like this answer to be thoroughly interrogated. I wish to take issue with the answer the Assistant Minister has given particularly where he says: “During the eighth meeting of the Central Council of Ministers for Lake ... view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since that time up to now, what effective steps has the Ministry taken to ensure that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) in these constituencies are involved with the Lake Basin Environment Programme officers? view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has referred to beach boys. I know that beach boys are found in Mombasa and other coastal areas. Around Lake Victoria, we do not have beach boys, but beach management units. Is he in order to refer to beach boys instead of units? view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister has said that they will engage Kazi Kwa Vijana initiative to eradicate water hyacinth from the lake. I think the best approach is to involve the Ministry of Fisheries Development, Ministry of Youths and Sports and the Ministry Environment and Mineral Resources. It should be an inter- Ministerial approach. Could he tell the House how they will engage all these Ministries view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to hide behind well crafted words in saying: “No, my Ministry will not dismiss any of the recently employed persons as long as they meet qualifications for the post they were recruited for”, when we know that some of the persons who were employed had to resign and take up those jobs? view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before counties were created, the one major problem that there was in the Ministry was that architects would be drawing plans in Nairobi without visiting the districts. Could the Minister assure the House that this time the architects of the Ministry will not draw plans in Nairobi, but will take time to visit the counties and draw plans according to the topography and type of soil and land? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem of failure by the Ministry to disburse funds for the construction of fresh produce markets does not affect Cherengany alone. Only yesterday, I engaged the Assistant Minister in a discussion because even Kibuye Market in Kisumu Town West has up to now not received funds. Could he confirm that the frustration of this project is not caused by anything else except corrupt officers in the Ministry? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Vice-President may do the best he has said and, I believe, he will do the best he can. But the problem is not with his Ministry; the problem is with the Director of Pensions. The Director of Pensions has no respect at all for senior citizens. What will the hon. Vice-President do to ensure that the Director of Pensions pays promptly and efficiently? view
