• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that the Minister has said that this was just a suggestion. My English Language tells me that this is a directive. It says: "And will be implemented with effect from January, 2007". This is from the Permanent Secretary, Secretary to the Cabinet and the Head of the Civil Service instructing the Permanent Secretary to implement the directive. What does the words "will be implemented" mean? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Let me repeat my name once again. I am Mr. Mbadi, Member of Parliament for Gwassi. I appreciate the circumstances under which this Budget was prepared, and I believe that many expected a more unpopular Budget than what was presented on the Floor of the House. I can also not fail to highlight a few weaknesses that are in the Budget Estimates. When one goes through the copies of Printed Estimates, one cannot fail to notice that the figures that were presented by the Minister do not add up. The Minister did state that the total ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I was mentioning just before I was rudely interrupted, there is no regional balancing in the Budget Statement. I cited the case of the Ministry of Roads. If you look at the Ministry of Roads, the amount of Kshs5,352,985 that is allocated to Central Province is far more than, for example, Coast Province, which was only allocated Kshs355,015,000. In fact, the amount of Kshs2,230,015 allocated to Kirinyaga and Nyandarua North districts is more than the total allocation for Nyanza Province, amounting to Kshs2,090,056. I find that an unfair regional allocation of resources. If ... view

• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the answers given by the Assistant Minister, who I really respect so much. But allow me to say that the Assistant Minister has not done enough research on this Question. Why do I say this? First, the Assistant Minister says that the survey of the land on which the district headquarters is supposed to be situated is still going on and yet, I am aware that the District Commissioner's house is under construction on the same land. So, if the land is being surveyed, why is there part of the construction going on? ... view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is talking about lack of resources. If there are no resources to construct offices at Gingo, where is the Government getting resources to continue building offices at Mbita? Secondly--- view
