• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Minister for the answer, but the Government should not take refuge behind an act of God; the rains of March, 2006. I think it is the responsibility of the Government to provide water for the drought- stricken people. Could the Assistant Minister name the boreholes and dams that they have rehabilitated in Kajiado Central, as he mentioned in his answer? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need any more answers from the Minister! view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the hon. Member say that the Shangilas are swallowed by the Samburus. The Shangilas are from Ethiopia! They are not Kenyans. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question is very clear. The hon. Member is asking the Minister: What plans does the Government have to develop the livestock industry in the Nyika Plateau? That is, actually, a very important area. We were expecting the Minister to tell us about serious plans like water provision, digging boreholes, constructing dams, buying animals and how they are going to develop livestock in that area. So, what plans does the Ministry have for that expansive area? view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State, Office of the President:- (a) whether he could state the legal criteria the Government is using to determine the creation of new districts in the country; (b) why the Government has failed to fulfil its 2003 promise of reversing the boundary between Kajiado and Machakos districts to its original state; and, (c) whether he could undertake to have the boundary adjusted during the current exercise of creating new districts. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see the interest that Members have on this Question. I must thank the Assistant Minister for coming out quite clearly that this Government has been cheating Kenyans that they have created new districts--- view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the word "cheating". The Government has been misleading Kenyans by saying it is creating new districts, and this has aroused a lot of expectations. Today, the Government has come out quite clearly that there are no districts which will be created until this august House passes a law. That was actually the specific question; the legal criteria, and the Assistant Minister has come out quite clearly. Secondly, could the Assistant Minister revert to the Lands Act of 1992 to specifically resolve the dispute on the boundary between Kajiado and Machakos districts? view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Government defer the creation of the new districts until we enact a new Constitution? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that most secondary school and college students from Kajiado District have dropped from school for lack of school fees due to the current drought and famine; and, (b) what measures the Government has put in place to ensure that these students' learning is not interrupted. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also thank the Assistant Minister for really trying to answer my Question. However, the problem I have with his answer is that he knows quite well that Kajiado District was severely affected by the drought and, therefore, it wiped out the only livelihood of the people of that area. Therefore, the levels of poverty are very high now. The Ministry should be aware that majority of the children in Kajiado District were denied attendance to schools and consequently denied to sit for examinations because they could not afford to pay school fees.
