• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have no doubt at all that the intention to amend the Bill by inserting Section 3A is brought in good faith. However, I think by allowing this amendment, we would create even more problems. In criminal trials and criminal jurisprudence throughout the Commonwealth, accused persons whether indiligent or not, do not pay for adjournment. However, the court retains the last option.

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Education is causing a very sad situation in this country by registering all applications to operate secondary schools without assessing the capacity of each of the applicants to employ teachers. What steps is the Ministry taking to make sure that before schools are registered, their capacity to employ teachers either from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or privately, is assessed? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two categories of Kenyans who have been totally ignored by the Ministry. This is particularly in Kisumu District. One of the groups are those who left their places of residence and businesses and came back to Kisumu but were not registered at that time because of the confusion. Secondly, there are others whose properties were destroyed. What is the Ministry doing about those whose properties were destroyed but were not evicted? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) considering the Ministry's policy that each district should have an operational theatre, whether he is aware that the new districts carved out of the original Kisumu District - Nyando and Kisumu West - lack operational theatres, hence placing undue strain on the Provincial General Hospital; and, (b) in view of the availability of many more local medical consultants now, and the fact that the hospital attracts patients from parts of Western and Rift Valley provinces, what steps he is taking to enhance the capacity of the hospital to accommodate that influx. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister's response in terms of the MTEF for 2009-2012 is not satisfactory unless it is broken down. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that hospital was built in 1969 and, since then, not much has been done. Is the Assistant Minister aware that in the delivery ward, there is only one bed that was built in 1969 at the theatre delivery room? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that hospital was sponsored by the USSR Government, and for a long time, up to now, it has been popularly known as "Russia Hospital". I would like to have a detailed breakdown of the Medium-Term-Expenditure Framework, so that I can interrogate it more deeply. In the meantime, has the Ministry considered that Russia Hospital could attract funding and sponsorship from our friends out of the country if we were to consider re-naming it "Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Memorial Hospital"? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Rulings have been delivered in this House that Members of Parliament cannot ask Questions on behalf of others unless notice has been given in writing to the office of the Speaker. Are we consistent? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I apologise, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has conceded that the LBDA has been mismanaged before. What I know is that the LBDA has had its assets stolen by players in the successive regimes that had been given the authority to manage it. What action is he taking to ensure that what was taken away from the LBDA is returned? view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of national policy, what is the Ministry doing to harvest rain water to harness floods and ensure that this occurrence does not happen? view
