• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the amendments which have already been moved by Mr. Lessonet--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you said that we should concentrate on the amendments. Once the amendments go through or are defeated, I will respond to the entire Report. That is the time I will talk about that particular issue. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear my good friend, Ms. Karua saying that we should stop compromising Committee Members? Can she substantiate? view

• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to make contradictory statements on what she is talking about. The Report does not say that Brian disappeared immediately after he was released. Brian was found dead three days after his release; that does not necessarily mean that it is the police who killed him. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that, although you have made a ruling that the Ayes have taken the day, we are many and we were the loudest. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to respond to this Report. I will start with the visits made by Committee Members. When the Committee Members were in Lari District, the District Security Intelligence Committee in Lari concurred that on several occasions, bodies had been collected from Kinale and Gumbi forests. That is in this Report. Investigations indicated that the victims were killed elsewhere. That is what the Report says. That is why I was adamant while opposing the amendment that was being moved. On 15th September, 2010, four bodies with clear gunshot wounds were found dumped there. Again, ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) No funds have been allocated to construct the Nandi North District Headquarters during the 2010/2011 Financial Year. However, the District will be considered among others in the next Financial Year, 2011/2012. (b) According to the current module of district headquarters developed by the Ministry of Public Works, the cost of constructing a single district headquarters is estimated to be Kshs30 million. (c) Completion of the proposed Nandi North District Headquarters will depend on availability of funds and the signed contract agreement. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that once we get some funds, we will allocate some money for the construction of that district headquarters. In the meantime, I am going to consider giving a total of Kshs2 million for the refurbishment of the building, so that the DC can start working from the district headquarters. Again, I will also plead with him to look for some land so that we can show the architect where the district headquarters will be constructed. I will try my level best to get him, among other districts, Kshs2 million for refurbishment purposes. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we must also look for funds to refurbish the district commissioner’s residence. We normally ask the Treasury to give us funds. However, when we get an allocation which is not enough, we disburse it according to the need. When we get funds from the Treasury, we will disburse the money to build the DC’s office and house. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very difficult to give a time-frame when we do not have money available for construction. Let us, first of all, get the money and then ask for the time-frame. Otherwise, as we stand now, I cannot give a time frame for something that is not available. The Kshs30 million is for the new model of the architectural drawing that we have. We are going to spread it all over the other districts. So, I will give a time-frame once we get the money and disburse it to the districts for construction purposes. view
