• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. The disabled people are the most marginalised in this country. They are marginalised at work, in their own homes and villages and even in education. It is the responsibility of this House to make sure that this is corrected. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need, first of all, to determine the number of disabled people in this country. It is very unfortunate that this Government does not have an accurate census of the disabled in this country. The excuse that we have been given is that parents are hiding some of these disabled people. It is the responsibility of the Government to make sure that in each village, sub location and location we know the number of disabled people be they the blind, the physically disabled and so on. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: No, I do not want to be informed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my colleague that the figures he has mentioned are only estimates that have been announced by the various departments of Government. There has not been a census, and I am talking about an actual census of the disabled in this country. He should admit that this does not exist. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my own constituency, I have one school for the disabled called Kibarani School for the Deaf. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really do not want to advance that point of view, but I would like to say that in my own constituency, Bahari, we have one school for the disabled called Kibarani School for the Deaf. I have visited this school and I have seen the wonderful work that is taking place there, including the sacrifice by teachers in that school. I am convinced that we have no legitimate reason to marginalise the disabled for the simple reason that these are individuals who are as gifted as we are in various aspects of their ... view
• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure the Minister knows that Tanzania has been very hostile to Kenyan nationals. Given the fact that we are talking about the East African Community (EAC), is it not proper that this Government should know how many of its citizens are being mistreated by a neighbouring country like Tanzania? view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) whether he could tell the House how many projects under the Rural Electrification Programme have been undertaken in Bahari Constituency during the past four years; and, (b) whether he could further explain the locations, the routing of such projects, how many of them have been completed and how many are still pending. view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister and the Government for providing these facilities to my people. However, since this is the last year of the GNU, could the Assistant Minister tell this House whether there are any funds that have been provided in the 2007/2008 Financial Year for projects in my area? view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the list that the Assistant Minister has provided, you will find that all these projects are actually concentrated at institutions, which is just fine. However, rural electrification means supply of power to rural areas. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what plans he has to spread this programme to homesteads and villages across the country instead of getting people to go for assistance under Umeme Pamoja Programme? view
