• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the time of Independence in 1963, this country has been paying rent at the rate of, for example, US$25,000 for our mission in New York. This is a perennial waste of Government funds. If this July 13, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2083 Government was planning issues well, we would have purchased properties instead of renting. We are renting units for our missions in Washington, London and New York. How much money do we pay for rent for these missions in the three countries annually? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question talks of some Kenyans who are living in refugee camps owing to drought, or famine. Could the Government ensure that those people are taken back to their homes and given food because they are living in refugee camps because of drought? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond to the Vote of the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. July 12, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2039 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like at the outset to point out that the security department of this country needs to be supported, and we must remain patriotic in dealing with security issues of this nation. Having said that, it is hard to believe what we have seen in the last few months as regards security issues. It leaves a lot to be desired. When we take ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the referendum, the Government went out to defraud citizens of their votes. They went out promising the creation of new districts without considering the amount of money it will require in terms of providing services such the district headquarters, offices for the OCPDs, DOs and chiefs. Some of us demanded for the creation of new constituencies instead of new districts. This is because constituencies will ensure the delivery of services to our people. They will also ensure representation in this House, the people's representation. What is the value of a district? A constituency is ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: You are not the Minister of State for Administration and National Security! You are the Minister for Planning and National Development, and you are planning wrongly for this Government! view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister is just trying to waste my time. However, I was just asking: "Where is the substantive Minister to receive the comments from the Shadow Minister?" "Where is his Permanent Secretary?" Mr. Obwocha, if you are the Minister for Planning and National Development, you must have planned very wrongly for this Government. That is why these people are not here! view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am addressing the Chair. I want to know whether these allocations are justified. Is this allocation based on the interest of national security? Has that question been addressed? When I look at the Budget of the Office of the President, I have not seen the presentation of the other departments. I have only seen the presentation of Internal Security. I have not seen the presentation of the other Ministries which fall under the Office of the President. If I am right, I know there is a huge amount of money which was allocated to ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, we had a Minister of the Government raising a frivolous point of order. Those who raise such points of orders can be named. I think some candidates are appearing on the other side of the House. Let us look at specific Ministries. If you take an example of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), which was re-opened recently, my people are the majority suppliers of beef, but you can hardly find one member of the board from my area. When you see the line-up of the board of the KMC which was tabled this morning, ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am in order. The list was laid on the Table here. I went through it and saw that there was nobody from my constituency who was employed. The Minister should know that fact. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I am talking about where I come from, whether it is Narok or Trans Mara. There was nobody from communities in these areas, who was appointed to the board, yet we are the biggest livestock farmers in this country! view
