• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I seek the indulgence of the Chair to request a deferment of this particular Question for two weeks, so that I can get all the details. The Question is quite elaborate and I need to give a very good answer to the hon. Member. We had actually agreed that I should answer this Question after two weeks. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that after the creation of a new location called Ngararia, out of Muruka Location, in 1999, the current population projected for the location is 24,000. (b) The wish of Muruka people is to split Muruka Sublocation and create an additional sublocation called Kiranga.

• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a leaders' meeting, where a decision was made that Muruka Sublocation be split into two, to create another sublocation in the name of Kiranga. I have a letter from his own constituency, by the District Commissioner (DC), telling us that "Muruka Sublocation will be created to enable us have another sublocation in the name of Kiranga." If I can get minutes, asking the Office of the President to split Muruka to have another location in the name of Kiranga, then we can consider such a request. However, as I speak, we have minutes asking us ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have any problem in answering his question, but the hon. Member will agree with me that it is totally different Question. Regarding the issue of Kitui District, if my friend can bring a substantive Question relating to Kitui District, I will reply to it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as at now, I would like to say that all my colleagues here know the procedure involved in splitting expansive administrative units. The procedure is that a proposal has to originate from the Locational Development Committees (LDCs) and go through the Divisional Development Committees to the District ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think we are reading from the same script. As we sit here, we have Muruka/Kiranga Sublocation. Now, his people have asked us to split Muruka from Kiranga in order for us to give Kiranga a sublocation. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information I have is that there is a Muruka Location which has three sublocations namely; Gatitu, Guthuru and Muruka/Kiranga. Those are sublocations under Muruka Location. Now, his people asked us to split Muruka/Kiranga sublocation into two sublocations. view
• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be able to give a Ministerial Statement on Thursday, next week. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that passengers travelling from Mandera, Wajir and Garissa to Nairobi are regularly subjected to security checks at the Tana River Bridge. (b) The laying of roadblocks form part of the police strategy in combating crime and are, therefore, not permanent features on our roads. This is done when the need arises to deal with any emerging crime. Roadblocks are, therefore, found across the country and at all entry points along our borders. They are, therefore, not confined to Tana River alone. They are primarily erected for purposes ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have clearly stated that, among other things, if the roadblock at the Tana River Bridge does not fall under the criteria which I have just read, then it must be done away with. Because of the porous borders which we have, we are also considering mounting roadblocks within the border points at Wajir, Mandera and Garissa. However, we will not have permanent roadblocks. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are right. I am talking about the porous borders which we have with Somalia and Ethiopia. view
