Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see this Assistant Minister is intentionally misleading the House and the country at large. In part (a) of his answer, he said that he is not aware. In parts (b) and (c), he also said that he is not aware. Now, this Assistant Minister earns Kshs100,000 extra to work for the people of Kenya. This Assistant Minister, if I am aware, is one of those who are on a go-slow in this Government. If that is the case, could I request that we defer this Question until the substantive Minister is present? I cannot accept ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I, therefore, request that on Tuesday the Assistant Minister comes with an elaborate answer to satisfy the people of Olchurrai?

asked the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife:- (a) whether he is aware that the Government made an undertaking two years ago to resolve the issue of ownership of Olorien following a request by the rightful June 28, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2129 owners through their Member of Parliament; and, (b) whether he could resolve the matter by compensating the rightful owners, namely Kiboko Group Ranch at the current monetary value or by returning the piece of land to them.

Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We spoke with the Minister, but this is a very serious matter. Could the Minister give an undertaking to this House as to when he wants us to go to the ground and see the local people so that we can resolve this issue?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could he give a specific date in two weeks time, so that I can tell the people to be ready that the Minister and myself will be coming to resolve that matter.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Budget of this financial year. From the outset, I would like to challenge His Excellency the President to sack all the Assistant Ministers who tried to intimidate him. They were telling the Head of State that they were idle and have nothing to do. If that action is taken, this country could save a lot of money. We can then use that money to support children from poor families. The cost of one Assistant Minister to the Government of the Republic of Kenya is ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister will eventually come for some lessons from a retired General, who knows what defence is all about! Do not worry about that! I am going to explain! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was on the point on goodies the Government is giving Kenyans. When you look at the Youth Enterprise Development Fund; the Government allocated youths a sum of Kshs2 billion and each constituency got Kshs1 million. The rest of the money is channelled through some financial institutions. Who is accounting for this money? This is a very critical ...

Okay, I withdraw the word "cheating" and replace it with the word "misleading". The Government is misleading the youth that it is helping them, while, in fact, Kshs100 per youth group in the Republic is nothing. The same applies to the Women Enterprise Development Fund of Kshs2 billion. Our women are being mislead to believe that the Government is taking care of them. Just divide Kshs2 billion by the number of Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation (MWO) groups in all the constituencies, it comes to nothing! Therefore, we would like this Government not to take Kenyans for a ride. Mr. Temporary ...
