• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will ask the question. I just want to ask the Assistant Minister why he cannot provide relief seeds to farmers in my constituency yet the long rains have just begun and our people know when the rains will stop. In my constituency, the long rains last for three months and so far, they have lasted just a few weeks. So, the Assistant Minister is not God. Could he just provide us with the seeds, instead of dictating to us when the rainy season would begin and end? We know how to use the seeds. view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to claim that there are still floods yet he has clearly stated in his answer that we have reported to him that the floods have subsided? Now that the situation has stabilised, we can re-plant. I would request him to take the matter of planting very seriously because Gwassi Constituency is the granary of that region and over 80 per cent of the farms have been swept away by floods. Hon. Ojode, who is seated next to him, is my neighbour on ... view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the Assistant Minister has admitted that the Ministry will foot these bills, will it be in order for me to request him to confirm that because we were to bury those bodies last Tuesday and the burden was really heavy on us? Could the Assistant Minister confirm if we can bring him the bills so that they refund the disaster committee of Suba District? view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my final question to the Assistant Minister is with regard to supplies. About 200 families lost their foodstuff. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to us whether they will allocate more food to these people because the 100 bags of maize have already been distributed? The 50 bags of beans and other items have been distributed and are not likely to last these families up to the next harvest. view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a Statement that has been awaiting delivery in this House from the Minister for Finance with regard to revenue statements. This Statement has been requested severally. Last week, it was agreed that it should be finally delivered today. The Leader of Government Business made a commitment that that Statement would be delivered. I can see the Minister here. Could I request him to deliver this Statement? view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would be comfortable with Wednesday afternoon next week. However, I am only pleading with the Chair that the Statement comes this time. That is because there have been several promises. Remember this Statement was asked for in May last year and 12 months down the line, the Statement has not come. view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was listening to Mr. Kimunya, I thought he had a feeling that, probably I would oppose this Motion. But I only expected the Government and more particularly the Treasury to tell us how they have adhered to provisions of Article 223(2) which says: “The approval of Parliament for any spending under this Article shall be sought within two months after the first withdrawal of the money---” So, if the Minister is asking us to approve withdrawal of money, he should have told us whether these amounts have already been spent. If they have ... view

• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek the direction of the Chair to find that this Motion is unconstitutional and is not in line with the spirit of Article 261 (2). view
