• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just raising a very interesting point of order. Is it in order for the Minister to ask a question to the Member of Parliament and then the hon. Member goes ahead to answer the Minister yet it should be the other way round? It was a very interesting development. Probably you missed it. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see a lot of obsession at the Ministry to construct fish ponds, even though I am really against the idea. The Minister is constructing many fish ponds in Central Province, and yet we do not grow coffee and tea in Nyanza and he wants to kill our lake economy. The biggest problem that fishermen have, especially the small-scale fishermen, is that they have no resources to acquire proper fishing gear which would not catch the small fish. What has the Ministry done to set up a fund so that small fishermen can get loans to ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to answer his own question other than addressing mine? My question was--- view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: God is not a fool to have given us fish and gave the people of Central Province coffee. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to avoid answering my question which is whether the Ministry is considering setting up a special fund to give fishermen loans; rather than relying on the generalized funds such as the YEDF which belongs to all kinds of businesses? We want a specific fund for fishermen so that they can buy fishing gear. That is my question. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If my memory serves me right, I remember this Ministry was also sanctioned. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to appreciate this Ministry because, at least, there is some improved service delivery in the Ministry. I think we need to appreciate that. Having said that, I wanted to ask the Minister a Question which has been asked, but I want to put it differently. Could the Minister tell this House whether she is ready to support the initiative of setting up Constituencies Water Services Trust Fund in the model of the roads fund? This will ensure that each constituency knows that it will receive this much every year ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am actually surprised by the Statement from the Minister for Finance, where he is implying that this House cannot interrogate issues with regard to the performance of the Executive, if such issues have either been looked at by a Committee or the House or if it is in the process of being looked at. I want to remind the Minister that this PAC Report has actually been adopted by this House. If you look at the PAC Report vis-Ă -vis what I have asked, there is no mention of specifically the issues I have raised. Since ... view

• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is appearing to me that the Assistant Minister has not really understood the question that I raised. The Controller and Auditor-General audited the Exchequer account where he had issues. That was done on 4th November, 2008 and a report was issued. The following year, the Ministry brought to this House - that figure was not subject to the audit – figures that were materially different from what the Controller and Auditor-General audited in the Exchequer Account. I said the Exchequer Account which the Controller and Auditor-General audited and gave a report on 4th November, 2008, had ... view
