• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, hivi majuzi, Rais alizuru Mkoa wa Pwani tena na matumaini yetu yalikuwa kwamba atatupatia ahadi ambazo tungefurahia. Lakini alikuja Mkoa wa Pwani na akarudi Nairobi na hakuna chochote tulichopata. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu kwa Serikali, katika utekelezaji wa ahadi ilizotoa wakati ilipokuwa inataka mamlaka, itimize jambo hilo kabla ya kuondoka katika utawala mwisho wa mwaka huu. Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, tumeambiwa katika Hotuba ya Rais kwamba, sekta ya utalii imeipatia nchi hii Kshs56 bilioni. Mimi kama mtu anayetoka Mkoa wa Pwani, ambako asilimia 60 ya mapato ya utalii yanatoka, hatujaziona hizi Kshs56 bilioni ambazo ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notices of the following two Motions:- THAT, aware that the coconut tree with its multiple use, has not been fully exploited for the benefit of farmers and the country; considering that the Coconut Industry Act which was enacted in 1948 and last amended in 1964 is now obsolete and no longer responsive to the economic needs of the people of the region; bearing in mind the need to fully exploit the industry so as to reap maximum benefits for the farmers and the country; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for ... view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think particular attention has been put on special education by this Government. I have a similar case in my area involving the Kibarani School for the Deaf which is in deplorable condition. The money that they are getting is inadequate. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that he will consider bringing a special request to this House in the next Budget so that these schools can be adequately provided with buildings and equipment? view

• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, it was ordered that title deeds be issued to all the people of Coast Province. The only area that has not been issued with title deeds is this particular area. The reason why this area has not been issued with title deeds is because there are controversies. If you go through this list of names, you will find that one plot has been allocated to up to five people. Could the Assistant Minister explain how one plot can be issued to five different people? view

• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is really pathetic. It is a question of total and gross inefficiency. Not too long ago, the same Assistant Minister told us in this House that the rate of efficiency was going to improve once the Pensions Department moves from its old premises in Uchumi House to Bima House. It has been more than a year ago and nothing has improved.Could the Assistant Minister tell us why this department is particularly inefficient? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to fully support this Motion brought by my colleague, hon. G.G Kariuki. You know very well that I am very passionate about this issue. I feel that we are failing our fellow Kenyans by not settling them properly, yet this is one of their fundamental human rights. Settlement schemes were started in the 1970s and 1980s. But, as we have noted, there was a complete failure in the implementation of these settlement scheme programmes, to the extent that the people who were supposed to be settled were not ... view
