• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Vote. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: From the outset, I would like to commend the Minister and his technocrats for the very important job they are doing for this country. This is a very important Ministry. We, as a country, need to ensure that proper funding is done, so that it can carry out its assigned responsibilities. There are several issues when you look at planning and national development. If this Ministry does not plan properly, then we will not attain development. As you realize, for the last 45 years of Independence, because of lack of proper planning, we, as a country, have failed. If we ... view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I am not very sure whether the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics is fully operational to know where we are, at whatever level. The issue of monitoring is very important for a Ministry like this one. I am not sure whether there is capacity in these areas. We want the Minister to show leadership. First, we want him to show leadership in the area of stimulus package as mentioned by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance in his Budget speech. We want that package to develop this country. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I want to challenge the Minister and his technocrats on the issue of the forthcoming census. I want them to tell me how they will account for people who are not in this country because of the current drought situation. It is high time they began to think of how they will account for these people. My people are in Tanzania. Unless they are properly enumerated, then this census will be meaningless as far as I am concerned. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has brought tremendous and remarkable changes. We want the CDF, as we recommended, to be increased from 2.5 per cent to, at least, 5 per cent. This is very important because we have seen tangible development from the CDF package. The leadership, because the hon. Members are in charge, has shown that this can bring development to this nation. If the stimulus package can be channeled like the CDF, this country will move forward. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: It is important that the monitoring unit of this Ministry goes down to see what the CDF money has done for this country. Then, the Minister will agree that this is a good way to go. So, the stimulus package should be channeled like the CDF. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the technocrats have a habit of staying in towns, especially Nairobi. They should move to the ground to see for themselves what this money does for this country. It is important that what we want to do to achieve Vision 2030 is in the plan of the Ministry. It should be like an objective to be achieved. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, within two minutes, it is difficult for a person like me, whose constituency starts from Masimba to Lake Natron, and which is very dry, to say everything that I want. Nevertheless, let me take this opportunity to thank the Minister and the technocrats in that Ministry for trying to save Kenyans from thirst. view
