• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, I am not applying any double standards. As I told the hon. Member yesterday, we will only subdivide that location once the residents there indicate that they want it to be subdivided, through the District Development Committee (DDC). view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that makes my work a bit easy, but what the hon. Member has to do is to go to the DC, who will initiate the DDC. Once they bring the minutes of the DDC to our office, we will act as per their request. view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at least, I am not sick! I am here! I was ready to answer the Question! view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was only saying that, at least, I am not one of the sick ones. I am healthy and ready to answer the Question! view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the District Officer (DO) for Nyakach Division has not had a vehicle for four years. What I know is that Nyakach has two divisions and two vehicles. One of the vehicles is running and the other one is in the garage pending repairs. Currently, the two divisions, that is, Upper Division and Lower Nyakach Division, share transport. (b) The two divisions will be considered for another vehicle along with other new divisions when new vehicles are purchased during the next financial year. view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the vehicles that the hon. Member is talking about are the ones that were withdrawn from the roads because of their excess engine capacities. There is no way we can take them back unless the policy is changed. However, like I said in my answer, the DO for Lower Nyakach Division has a vehicle that is running. It is a Land Rover registration number GK H571. The DO for Upper Nyakach Division also has a Land Rover which is relatively new, but it has a small mechanical problem that requires repair, before it is ... view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem is constraints. When we send our requirements to the Ministry of Finance, we--- For example, this financial year we had asked for Kshs800 million, but we were only given half of it, that is, Kshs400 million. So, in such May 9, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1227 circumstances we will only be able to purchase vehicles for half the number of the DOs that we had targeted. But, as I said, we are endeavouring to ensure that every DO eventually has a vehicle. That is why I have said that those DOs who were not given ... view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I started by saying that the two divisions, at the moment, are sharing one vehicle. So, if the hon. Member saw a Toyota Land Cruiser in Lower Nyakach Division, it does not mean that in our records, it belongs to Upper or Lower Nyakach. We have our records which are intact. If the hon. Member comes to our office, we will tell him exactly which vehicles belong to which divisions. As for the repair of the vehicle, the DO has requested for Kshs205,000, which we are looking for. Once we get this money, we will send ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 26th April, 2007, hon. Ojaamong rose on a point of order seeking a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security, regarding:- (i) The exact number and names of the districts which have so far been created. (ii) When the official boundaries of these new districts will be made public. (iii) Whether the concerned Ministry will consult with the public and leaders in the respective districts.

• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we instructed provincial commissioners to convene meetings in the affected districts. But if there is any hon. Member who, for any reason or the other, was not invited, or is sure that such meetings did not take place in his or her area, he or she should inform us so that we can put corrective measures in place. As for the provinces, that is a constitutional affair which we cannot amend through a Bill. view
