(i) to reduce the extent of damages suffered as a result of disasters; (ii) to mitigate the effects of disasters by taking certain measures; (iii) develop effective early warning systems to alert in cases of disaster; and, (iv) planning for disasters. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other proposed Bill is the Social Safety Nets Bill. Cash transfer programme and meal voucher system, as I mentioned, should be features of that Bill. Each programme is to target a specific section of the population. Cash transfer could target the unemployed and elderly, while meal-voucher programme could target the urban poor and ...

22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
I want to conclude by asking this House to consider this Report of the Committee on the Cost of Living. I think we did extensive work trying to dig and find out the real causes of the rising cost of living and how in the short term they could be addressed and, more importantly, going forward how we will address these issues. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to move and ask Dr. Eseli, who is also a Member of the Committee to second the Motion.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to inform the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government that he could have even done that in his office. He could have checked the bank statement to see whether the cheque was cleared. He could have brought the bank statement to this House.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Today is Thursday and next Thursday is one week away. We are all aware of the sight of a buffalo. What is the Government going to do between now and Thursday? A buffalo can kill so many people in a day. Some action needs to be taken. The Deputy Leader of Government Business needs to assure us and the people residing around Kipasi and Rapora. They are likely to go to Gwasi because that place is very near. What is the Government going to do to make sure we do ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that it is the Government of Kenya through the Registrar of Companies which registered this Zone Holdings and Credit Investment Company Limited, which again they de-registered for reasons that have not been explained to us. I wanted to get a clarification from the Attorney-General, why this company was de-registered and what procedure was followed. As far as I understand it, if a company fails in its obligations, there is a procedure through receivership and finally, if it is supposed to be wound up, there should be a procedure. Could you clarify to us if the ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question was really very specific. I wanted the Attorney-General to clarify to us whether the registration of that company was done properly. If the company had issues, why could the Government not order for takeover or put it under receivership to protect the interests of not only those who are coming to deposit, but the people who have already deposited? How did you ensure that their interests were protected?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has alluded to notices from the City Council. I think this House will benefit if the Minister tables those notices, so that we know that the same City Council, which is alleged to have been receiving fees, had already issued notices to those people to move out of the land. Could the Minister kindly table the notices dating back all the way to 2005 and 2008 from the City Council?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while it is important to appreciate the work of the Government, since Independence this region has been receiving some attention. So, we need to thank the Government. However, Road C18 runs from Oyugis through Rodi, and all the way to Sori Karungu. The section between Rodi and Sori was tarmacked in 1994. It is worn out and is now being re-carpeted. The other portion has never been tarmacked. Could the Minister tell us when the Government intends to tarmack the Oyugis-Rodi Kopany section? This is because it is one road, all the way to Sori. ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Assistant Minister for Provincial Administration and Internal Security in order to mislead this House that the Leader of Government Business is out there on official duties, when we know that he is busy opening offices of parties which he does not even belong? He is not even a member of those parties.
