• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the Assistant Minister for doing an excellent job in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation but some of the simple things in this world make a big difference. Countries like the USA and many other countries that have a lot of water still ask their residents to conserve and save water. What is this Government doing to make sure the common man in Kenya learns how to save water, the little that we have? What education has the Government put in place so that the common man understands the meaning of ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) to state the targets the Government fixed for employment generation during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 and indicate the level of achievement so far; and, (b) what the Government’s future plans for employment creation are. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: No objection, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Ministry of Livestock Development website, there is a section known as emerging livestock. If I quote, it says:- “Emerging livestock are animals that have not received adequate attention in terms of research and development. These include ostriches, guinea fowls, donkeys, buffalos, crocodiles and snakes”. What is the Assistant Minister doing to make sure that these specific animals that are mentioned here get adequate attention and research funds are available to make sure that we have alternative source of livestock as opposed to cattle, camels and others? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Mwakwere for being re-elected. But is he in order to sit on the Front Bench when he has not been appointed a Member of the Cabinet? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development:- (a) whether the Ministry has a record of the number of street children in the country and, if so, whether she could provide the same indicating their distribution; (b) what the Government is doing to deal with the sudden influx of street children in the City of Nairobi; and, (c) what sustainable measures the Government is taking to deal with this problem. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has given the answer as 250,000 street children in our country. This is a very worrying trend. In 2003, the Government had a programme of taking street children to the National Youth Service (NYS). I am wondering what happened to that programme. This programme was going to rehabilitate these children to know their social responsibility and even citizenship. What happened to that programme that was well prepared, well presented and well received by Kenyans? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that we have over 250,000 known cases of street children. I am sure we have many more. They are mostly in rural areas such as Laisamis, North Horr and Garbatulla. Maybe, these children are not called “street children”. Probably, they have another name which I do not know. I know for sure we have orphans who do not have homes. What has the Government done to ensure that its officers go to rural areas like Garbatulla, Laisamis and North Horr in order to know the right numbers of these children and ... view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation:- (a) to provide the current statistics of maternal deaths in the country and state the steps the Government has taken towards achieving MDG 5; and, (b) what achievements the Government has made so far in terms of improving maternal health. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have information here from the World Health Organization (WHO) that ranks Kenya number 11 in the world as having one of the highest number of deaths. It is not even about money; it is about policy. How can we rank lower than countries like Bhutan and Papua New Guinea, which are very poor countries? So, do not tell us about money. What are we doing wrong, as a country, so that we have such high a mortality rate while poorer countries than us are much better of? What are we not doing? view
