• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Report. First of all, let me thank the Chairman and the Committee for bringing a united Report. In the past few months, we have had cases where Committees bring reports and then on the Floor of the House, we see division. I congratulate this Committee. Secondly, we know we should fight corruption in this country, but it is very important for us to be very careful not to bring in politics, vendetta and extraneous issues. If you look at the Report of this Committee, it is very detailed. The Assistant ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development:- (a) whether she could provide a list of the current beneficiaries under the Cash Transfer to Older Persons Programme in Gwassi Constituency; (b) the number of locations covered by the programme in Gwassi and how they were identified; and, (c) what criteria were used to identify the beneficiaries and when all the deserving persons will be included in the programme. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the answer the Assistant Minister has given today and from the volume of documents, you will realise that it is very hard to prove the additional information. However, I intend to ask the Assistant Minister questions on issues that can be addressed on the spot. My main reason for raising this issue is because, as the Assistant Minister has rightly put it, in my constituency, only one location, Kaksingiri West is covered. It has a poverty level of 72 per cent, which is very high. However, you will realise that the poverty level is almost ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the hon. Assistant Minister listened to my Question, he will find that it was very specific and straight forward. He should have told us when they plan to implement this. The Assistant Minister should not just generalize that by saying “when they get money”. Which money is that? The Assistant Minister should have told us that their projected budget is this much, they anticipate to get this amount of money from the Treasury and they expect to roll out this program by this particular time. The Assistant Minister should not ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a pilot project does not go on forever. There must be a time, when either it is discontinued, implemented or rolled out. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, over 500,000 people are likely to benefit from this programme. This translates to cash transfer of about Kshs9 billion per year. Could the Assistant Minister ask the Government to allocate Kshs9 billion to his Ministry, so that he can roll out this programme in the entire country? We want to see all senior citizens in this country benefiting from this programme. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many times, when Ministries are asked questions on policy issues, they repeatedly tell this House about the programmes that they have and when they intend to table them. Could the Assistant Minister make a firm commitment on when that Roads Sector Investment Programme will be tabled in this House? Otherwise, next year, a similar Question will be asked and he will repeat the same answer. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as hon. Members question why Class “E” roads are being tarmacked, leaving out Class “C” roads, how satisfied is the Assistant Minister with the classification of the roads in this country? Roads in some regions link critical areas. For instance, in my constituency, you find that a road serves the shores of Lake Victoria, where the highest percentage of fish comes from, yet the road is classified as “D”. Do you consider that road as of lesser importance? view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am aware that Mr. Linturi is out of the country on official duty. view
