• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When somebody absents himself we call it AWOL which means Absent Without Official Leave. After 21 days, a board is formed so that his equipment is returned to the store. After the lapse of 90 days, that person is declared a deserter and until that person appears or whatever happens, there is nothing the armed forces can do about that individual. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Vote. Last year, while contributing to debate on the Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, I lamented that prudence in the distribution of resources by this Ministry was lacking. I even went out of my way to suggest that we should not even approve the Vote of this Ministry. Unfortunately, because I did not have powers to stop its approval, the Vote was approved. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, this year, the issue of equitable distribution of resources by ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will come to the figures, which are very unfortunate. Kajiado District as a whole was allocated Kshs21 million. Not a single shilling was allocated to my constituency, except the amount of money allocated through the July 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2779 District Roads Board (DRB), which is peanuts! The amount of money allocated to Kajiado District through the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) is Kshs159 million. Not even a single cent has been allocated to Kajiado Central Constituency, because it is an Opposition constituency. Those are Kenyans who are paying taxes! I want the Minister ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute positively and objectively! Resources for this nation should be divided equitably. That is what we want for this country. That is exactly why we are in this Parliament, so that our people--- I do not have to a be a Minister, so that Kajiado District can develop. We must ensure that this country develops equitably. Last year, I mentioned the road between Isiolo and Moyale. I talked about the road from Kitale and Lokichoggio. I talked about the road between Garissa and Mandera. I also mentioned a small road from Bisel ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to talk about Kajiado Central Constituency in particular. We have so many roads. We have a road starting from Kitengela to Namanga. I think the Government should put up a toll station at Isinya because we have very heavy trucks from Tanzania that are damaging that road. That is very important. I concur with the statement that was made by the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. Why should we keep on maintaining roads every year after heavy rains? Which school did our engineers go to? Why are roads in other countries ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have three clarifications that I would like the Minister to address. One, has the Government assessed the damage caused by the tremors? For instance, it has been reported that in Kajiado Central three schools have been damaged. Is the Ministry going to meet the cost of the repairs of those schools? This should be part of emergency response by the Ministry. Two, what is the policy of the Government regarding disasters and emergencies in this country? Do we have a policy on disaster and emergency response in this country? Do we have the ... view

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2004, I visited the Ministry of Energy and saw the hon. Minister then, Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko, who called his team - and the Assistant 2614 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 18, 2007 Minister was there. In 2005, I visited the Ministry and had an audience with the then Minister for Energy, Mr. Nyachae, who called his Permanent Secretary and the Assistant Minister and their team. They promised that they would send a survey team to Masimba Centre and Emali. That team was sent, and the survey report taken to the Ministry. We have been waiting since 2004/2005, for ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his answer, the Assistant Minister said that consideration is going to be given in the next two financial years. I want a commitment from him. Do I understand that the supply of electricity to these centres will be undertaken during the current financial year and completed in the next financial year, 2008/2009? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is, indeed, a serious matter. However, I think it is should be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and not the Ministry of Defence, because it involves foreign military crossing the border into our country. So, it is not, really, an issue for the Ministry of Defence. It is an issue for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find out why Uganda People's Defence Force is crossing the border into our country. view
