• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances were Administration Police Constables recruited and enrolled at Administration Police Training College (APTC) without basic academic qualifications, certificates and without being given service numbers that resulted in 600 of them being given 3 days off on 28th May, 2012 to present the documents to enable them proceed with training? (b) How many of these officers have so far returned to the college with genuine documents and could the Minister provide a list ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now I can say what I wanted to say. I agree with the hon. Minister that this Question needs thorough research. This question is directly connected to alleged misuse of Administration Police and regular police during the 2008 violence. I want to make it clear that part “C” of my Question is not as it appears in the Order Paper. What appears is:- “Why were officers exempted from normal courses offered at the college and instead only taught “Field Craft” (Section of War)? It is not “section of war” but “science of war”. In military jargon, ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The fundamental question that hon. Kigen has asked is this: Why were procurement procedures not followed? That is because in this case, the procuring entity is supposed to be the schools. But the Ministry took all the responsibility and paid for it when that is against the requirements of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act. It should have been tendered first before payment was effected. So, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say that they paid only 30 per cent when, in actual fact, the whole process was ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources. I want to declare that as I make this request, I have consulted with hon. Shakeel, who is also concerned about the same. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request for a Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources on the extent of funding of Lake Victoria Environment Programme (LVEP) for the removal of water hyacinth from--- view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very appropriate because this also concerns his people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek the Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources on the extent of funding of LVEP for the removal of water hyacinth from Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria and the methodology for the same. In the Statement, I would wish the Minister to address the following pertinent issues:- (i) The total amount of money allocated and the procurement procedure adopted in identifying the firms or the groups that were to be engaged in this removal. (ii) The ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister is telling the House that for all this time he cannot do anything about this matter. It should be public knowledge that presenting a fake document amounts to a criminal offence. It is referred to as “uttering a false document” and Mr. Wetangula knows it very well. Forgery and uttering a false document are two different offences. Surely, if it is true that this man uttered this document in 1999, 13 years down the line, action should have been taken against him unless we assume that there was no wrong ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I listened to the Minister giving the Statement, the impression I got was that the situation in Banita Settlement Scheme is so explosive that unless it is handled carefully, it may pose a serious risk to security. This matter has come before the House several times. The issue that both the Minister and I know is that there are very influential personalities involved in the settlement scheme. I believe that unless we handle the issue before the House very delicately, we could make the situation worse. Under the circumstances, I humbly propose that the ... view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly, the Assistant Minister does not seem to understand the agony of the residents of Plainsview Estate, who are affected. This is a recurrent event. What is wrong with allowing them to use temporary structures under the temporary occupation licence (TOL) of the council to fence off this part that is so attractive? view
