• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Looking around, I do not see the required quorum for us to proceed with business. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is sad that this Government has systematically embarked on a mission to make sure that they kill the economies of those regions around Lake Victoria. That is why the Migingo issue has never been addressed to date and now the water hyacinth. The Government is deliberately coming up with the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) programmes to develop ponds in other areas so that the economy of our region which depends on fish is completely wiped out. Could the Assistant Minister instead of putting money on these ponds which I am told nowadays mosquitoes and ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: No, he has not, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hyacinth is not just something which came up yesterday. We have been with this hyacinth problem for years now and the Government has not done anything. Could the Assistant Minister divert these funds that he is wasting on these unnecessary ponds to clear Lake Victoria so that we can get enough fish from that region? view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these were Economic Stimulus Projects (ESP) but besides that the Government gave some projects specific names like “Centres of Excellence”. The allocation that has been given cannot make them centres of excellence. What guarantee do we have from the Government that in the coming Budget the Ministry is going to allocate more funds to these centres, so that they are developed to be real centers of excellence, and do not turn into white elephant projects? view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many times organizations and even Government corporations have used the excuse of skills and technical know-how to discriminate against other communities. We are sure that in this country skilled labourers can be found anywhere and everywhere in this country. Does the Ministry have a deliberate policy to make locals, where this particular organization is situated, to also have a presence in the management? You know that you can also get technical know-how and skills from the locals. What deliberate policy do you have as a Ministry to ensure these areas also feel represented in companies ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to evade the Question even after you have clarified it to him? The question that the Questioner has asked is not about ethnic communities. People from Mumias are multi-cultural. We are aware of that. Could he tell us how many people came from Mumias Zone? They could be Luos, Luhyas, Turkanas and Mijikenda, among others. However, they should come from Mumias Zone. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This country is very anxious and we are very eagerly waiting to discuss the various Bills that would help this country in implementing the new Constitution. So, this House expects the electoral law Bills, the various Bills on Judicial reforms, devolved systems of Government, and the various Bills regarding the reforms in the security sector. So, I want to ask the Chair to direct the Leader of Government Business that this coming Thursday, this country should be entitled to progress on where these particular Bills are. As you are aware, ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that the Leader of Government Business has two roles: He is the Chair of the House Business Committee, which is supposed to prioritise the various issues that are supposed to come to the House; but he is also the Leader of Government Business in Parliament. Based on those roles, on any Government activities, including even those which have not come to Parliament, the Leader of Government Business has a responsibility. I was just asking because it appears that the Leader of Government Business is trying to evade this Question by addressing only ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: That is what I am trying to cure, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
