• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you appreciate that I have not even asked my second supplementary question. So, could I be allowed to ask two supplementary questions? view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that human development is very important for any economy, and that starts at school. From what we have seen from the Assistant Minister, it means that there has not been proper distribution of resources to the education sector in this country. Could the Ministry consider funding marginalised areas, which have no provincial schools, to bring them at par with other counties before bringing in the idea of establishing more national schools in the country? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that workers at the Migori Municipal Council went on strike from Friday, 3rd December 2010, due to three months’ unpaid salary arrears? (b) Could the Minister disclose the current financial position of the Council to clarify whether there are any funds meant for the Council held by the Ministry and state the measures the Ministry is taking to address the problem and avert recurrence of the same in the future? (c ) What ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that workers at the Migori Municipal Council went on strike from Friday 3rd December 2010 due to three months’ unpaid salary arrears?

• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am least satisfied. While the Assistant Minister says that he has transferred the chief officers, these chief officers appeared to the police and wrote statements. As I am speaking, the workers in Migori Municipality have not been paid for some months. How does transferring this chief officer solve the problem of Migori workers who are currently not earning their salaries? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is difficult to ask another question. But I am least satisfied because there is a problem in that municipality; the workers cannot do good work if there is no salary and yet the Assistant Minister is insisting that they had been paid. I come from Migori and yet the Assistant Minister is relying on the answers given by his officers. He actually transferred the same officers. How is he going to help address the plight of the workers in Migori Municipality who have been going without salaries up to now? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir while we appreciate that the Government has a policy of bringing divisions close to the people, could the Assistant Minister give us the policy that guides the putting up of structures at the divisional level where new divisions have been created? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me time to speak on this very important Motion. I also thank the Mover, Mr. Wamalwa, for bringing this Motion to Parliament. When we talk of boda boda, I do not want to go back to history which has been eloquently narrated here by Mr. Olago and the Mover of the Motion. I know that we are talking about bicycles. The use of the bicycles is now outdated because the motor cycles have come into the market, and they are more efficient, more effective; therefore, we no longer use bicycles in ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: industry? For example, in my constituency, Migori, you find that most of the people who own the industry are people who are working, and are able to save money and buy the motor cycles. They then give them to young men who cannot get employment in the Government to manage for them the motor cycles. Therefore, the view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: does not belong to the youth, but to those people who work; they employ the youth to make money for them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, we have some challenges that I want to talk about here. One of them is the cost of a motor cycle. We have discovered that an ordinary youth, who has left school, may not have funds to buy a motor cycle. So, there is the challenge of getting money to buy motor cycles. The other thing which is a challenge is the harassment by the police. You find that the boda boda operators ... view
