• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Housing:- (a) whether the Government has plans of demolishing old residential estates in Nairobi and putting up more high rise houses to accommodate more people; (b) what plans the Government has to improve water and sewerage systems to match the expected population increase; and, (c) if he could assure the House that this time round the projects will be viable given that the National Housing Corporation (NHC) has been unable to earn its share of revenue from houses constructed in partnership with local authorities across the country, resulting in protracted legal battles. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank the Minister for giving that elaborate answer to this Question and being the first Minister this morning to respond to a Question in Parliament. While I thank the Minister for this good answer, we know that the issue of land in this country is very vital and that is why we even have a problem with the current proposed Constitution. Land will not grow in size. We know there are technologies which can enable this country to put up storied buildings up to 50 storeys as we have seen in other countries like China ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I remember in answering a similar Question sometime back, the Minister assured this House that there were plans to put up houses in Migori Municipality. Is that plan still on or it has been shelved? view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while we thank the Minister for thinking about the youth of this country and ensuring that they are taken care of in terms of employment abroad, I would like her to clarify this position of the interns that she is asking the Members of Parliament to identify by giving us the types of qualifications that she has in mind and when these people can start their work. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to add my voice in supporting this very important amendment to the Commissions of Inquiry Bill which was introduced by hon. Olago Aluoch. We have had a lot of experiences and talks about commissions in this Republic. I must say here that it has been very sad that in all the commissions that were very vital for Kenya, no actions have been taken. It appeared to Kenyans that most of these commissions were set up actually to appease Kenyans at times when the people felt aggrieved because of issues like assassinations, ... view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) to state the Ministry’s position on the dues of thousands of teachers who retired between 1997 and 2007 and are yet to receive money running into millions of shillings as was ordered by the High Court is; (b) why the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) deliberately refused to implement court orders issued by the High Court sitting in Nakuru in 1997 soon after the negotiated salary deal between the Government and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT); and, view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: (c) whether he could state the position of the Pensions Department and Treasury on the matter and also indicate how much interest will be paid on these monies, considering that the affected teachers have incurred expenses in the hope of being paid by the Government. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very weighty matter for this country. Could you kindly allow me to donate my time to my lawyer, hon. Olago, on this matter? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. Hon. Members have been here long enough. You remember that we were recalled earlier from our usual December vacation because of other pressing issues that we had to come and deliberate on, which we have done up to this time. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Office of the Speaker for taking us through this Session in a very organized and civil manner. In particular, I want to thank the Speaker for his ruling this afternoon on the Question that I had asked about the retired teachers. That was, I am sure, a welcome ruling by Kenyans who have served this country and actually deserve to live a decent life having served Kenya as teachers in this Republic. They have families to look after, children to take to school but because somebody somewhere does not want to give them their right, ... view
