• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken note of that. We will conduct an assessment in those areas, including West Pokot. There have been cases of food shortage in West Pokot because of migration into Uganda, but people are now coming back. We will do an assessment to get the right figures in order to deliver food to those areas. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Kenya Students Christian Fellowship, a national body enhancing morals for our students submitted a proposal to the NACC for funding in 2003, but was not funded. (b) Funding of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) under the community initiative was from the Kenya HIV/AIDS Disaster Response Emergency Project (KHADREP) which was a World Bank funded project that closed on 31st December, 2005. It is, therefore, not possible for the organization to be funded. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is still negotiating for the second phase of that project which would be to the tune of Kshs4 billion. Therefore, at that time, we will have enough funds. Right now, we operate with very little funds. At the moment, I cannot substantially say that we have enough resources. We have spent what we were given the other time. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For now the project will not be funded until we have funds. There are no funds available now. This project was very important. It was meant to cover over 4,000 secondary schools in the country. The proposal submitted to us lacks some technical soundness and it was improperly written and, therefore, it was not approved at that time. We will give it another chance when we have resources. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not have funds to respond. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have sent the proposal back to the group and we advised them to sent us the revised proposal. That was the first communication. No communication came back from them. I will write to them to ask them why they never responded and whether they could give us another proposal in readiness for the next funding. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot close down the offices because we are in the planning stages of the bigger programme that is coming very soon. I have done the strategic plan for HIV/AIDS campaign for this country and I want to call all the hon. Members to come so that we could discuss the criteria of disbursing the next funds. It is important to keep the offices running because we have a lot to do and plan for the next phase. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to understand that matters of HIV/AIDS scourge are in two Ministries. I deal with awareness, mobilisation and ensuring that information is given to the public. Matters of control and treatment fall under the Ministry of Health and they have enough Anti-Retro Viral (ARVs) drugs to cure those cases. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must admit that in the beginning it was not done properly. But we are reviewing the criteria of disbursement again. I hope that through the strategic plan which is in place and the new policy which is to be tabled here, we will correct the disbursement criteria during the next phase. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member went round and round in asking his question, such that it was difficult to understand him clearly. I said that we are negotiating for more funds through the World Bank so as to start up the process again. However, as we speak, the Constituency Aids Control Committees (CACCs) are in place. We are creating awareness among Kenyans by use of the CACCs. My office will continue to support their use to educate people on HIV/AIDS related matters.
