• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important debate. I wish to congratulate the Minister for a very thought-provoking Budget. However, there are a few things I would like to mention that I think are important for us to move forward. I say this because the motto of this Budget is: "Framework for the future: Laying the building blocks". I am not so sure that the Budget that was presented here by the Minister actually lays the building blocks for the future. We can talk about the good things that have ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of contention here is on land. In paragraph 89, the Minister only says that the landless will be settled and has provided Kshs400 million for that purpose. The people to be settled became landless as a result of tribal clashes and relocation from water catchment areas. We have a very serious problem of landlessness. This problem is actually evident at the Coast Province. We have said many times in this House, and outside it, that the Government needs to find a lasting solution to the landlessness of tens of thousands of people at ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I wish to support. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Sir, the new regulations have caused tremendous inconvenience at the Port of Mombasa. There is serious congestion of vehicles there. This is actually ruining the image of the port. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what action he intends to take to decongest the port? Could he consider moving those vehicles from the port to another holding area, so that this space could be used by other genuine importers? view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not just about allocating some funds for those kind of disasters. It is a question of having permanent structures that will include vehicles, drugs and all other equipment that is needed. That is what we need! It is not just having money in your budget, Mr. Minister! view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development what plans he has for developing large scale beef ranching, especially in the Nyika Plateau, which stretches from the southern Kenya/Tanzania border to the north western Tana River District. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has spoken of a grandiose programme which, he knows very well, that the Government will not implement. That is because, if the Government was serious enough, it would have implemented that programme in the last four years, because we have been making a lot of noise about it. Could the Minister tell this House how much the project will cost, how long it will take and when it will actually start? view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister knows very well that most of the ranches in the Nyika Plateau are actually moribund because of inadequate water, mismanagement as well as lack of market outlets. The Minister is also aware that there is an invasion of wildlife in those ranches, as well as the destruction of the ranches. Could he tell the House what measures he intends to take to stop the wildlife from invading the ranches and also stopping livestock from Somali from invading the ranches? view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to suggest that this House and its hon. Members are not serious in the war against corruption when she knows very well that we passed the Public Officer Ethics and Conduct Bill in this House? view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State, Office of the President the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister table a list of all chiefs and assistant chiefs, who have been sacked during the last six months, giving names of their constituencies and reasons for termination? (b) Could he further explain how soon he intends to fill the vacant positions? view
