• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Exactly! That is true. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is in this House where I have been bashed for not supplying vehicles to various stations. It is in this House where I have been bashed for not repairing vehicles on time for use within the rural areas. I have tried my level best view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree entirely. For the vehicles which are still waiting for spare parts, I will try to fast track the issuance of spares for them to be repaired so that they can be released immediately. I want to also say that there are some vehicles which we are purchasing and I believe that there are certain stations that do not have vehicles at all. I will start by giving those stations which do not have vehicles at all. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me check. If it is ready, I will bring it tomorrow. If it is not ready, I will be comfortable with Wednesday morning, next week. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, what Mr. Ethuro is saying is true. We used to get some write ups that this Statement will be ready on such and such a day once the Minister confirms or gives a date. However, if you look at that time table, there is nothing which says that we were supposed to give a Statement today. So, I think the problem is on the desk here and not from the Ministers. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a small Statement to make, which was sought by hon. Rachel Shebesh with regard to the Chief of Kalapata. I request that I give it now. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take two minutes. It is a small issue. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week, hon. Shebesh rose on a point of order asking why the Chief of Kalapata was issued with a warning letter dated 3rd August, for gross misconduct, while two other chiefs in Turkana South received show cause letters; and, whether the Government would continue to deny that people have died due to drought in Turkana South. I wish to state the following: The import of the letter addressed to the chief by the District Commissioner dated 3rd August was to ask the chief to explain why he had not briefed the office on the deaths he ... view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the questions from my colleagues are more or less the same. I will start with the latest on whether the chief had the capacity to know whether one of his subjects had died as a result of hunger. Hon. Ethuro also said that he read from the letter that says that you have to inform the District Officer (DO) or the District Commissioner (DC) of the deaths recorded within a locality or sub-location. I agree with him. The letter says very clearly that he has to give information on those who have so far died, and not ... view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us treat this matter seriously. I want to be on record by saying the following. It is not possible - it is good that Dr. Khalwale is here - for a layman to come up with the cause of death of a particular individual. That is the truth of the matter. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. The reason why I was rejecting this report of the chief was because I wanted to table the supply of the relief food, which we have been doing since June last year. So, in other words, I am trying to say that your question whether somebody can stay without food for all that period is yes. Indeed, it is true that if there is no supply, one can die. But on this particular case, it was not possible because we have been supplying relief food and I want to table the dates--- view
