• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I need an explanation from the Minister on several Heads under this Sub-Vote. For example, Head 327 on Nutrition on page 285. I believe this Head affects all other Heads under this Sub-Vote. Therefore, I would like her to refer to Item No.2210700 on Training Expenses on page 285. It is evident that the training expenses shot up from Kshs17,997,750 to Kshs109,929,100. She should explain to this House why the money set aside for this purpose has gone up. If she refers to the other Heads under this Sub-Vote, she would see the training expenses ... view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to understand one thing from the Minister. The Kshs70 million that has been given to Moi Referral and Teaching Hospital is very little. Is it going to develop the Intensive Care Unit that we so much require? Could the Minister add more money to that hospital next year? 2970 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 17, 2006 view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to give my comments regarding this important Ministry. I think hon. Members have now seen the importance of having a Budget Committee and they now appreciate the importance of sharing resources properly. However, the practice we are seeing today has always been there since Independence, where money meant for the construction of roads is always taken to areas where those in authority have interests. It is a practice that has been taking place and is likely to go on until we have a Budget Committee. We want to believe that this is the ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: The authorities being established are good. However, we must have one additional July 19, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2217 authority to take care of building of bridges. As long as we do not have a bridges authority, we will continue to build bridges which should cost Kshs10 million, at Kshs100 million. We should bring the authority under law just as other authorities like the Kenya Roads Board, the Kenya National Highways, the Rural Roads Authority and the Urban Roads Authority. If we bring it into law, any money that is voted to it will be used in the right way. I ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me seek a further clarification so that the Minister can respond to the two simultaneously. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at the booklet showing the detailed allocations, you will see that Uasin Gishu District, where there is no major road project going on, has been allocated Kshs55 million for supervision. What does the Ministry intend to supervise since there is no road project going on in that district? view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am referring to Head 384, Item 3111400, on page 321 of the Financial Estimates. This is in the booklet showing the detailed allocations. It appears on page 33. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I want to agree with the Minister, there is a column indicating feasibility study. There is also another column showing supervision only. What are you supervising? I thought a feasibility study, project preparation and design are all different. That is okay, and we understand that. However, when money is allocated for supervision, yet there is no work being done, we should get an explanation for that. view

• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am referring to an Item on page 333, which I want the Minister to look at. Project Supervision has been left hanging alone. view
