• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, indeed, regret that there is a delay on this particular issue. However, let us hope that the Pensions Department will do a cheque within a week or two as they requested. So, I undertake that I will follow it up myself for the parent to get the cheque. view

• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe that Mr. Gitari is out of the country on official Parliamentary business and maybe the Clerk can confirm that. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the holding cell at Wang’uru Police Station has no toilet. Currently, prisoners use a toilet which was recently renovated outside the cell. Plans are also underway to put up modern cells with modern sanitation facilities, whose plan and bill of quantities are being prepared by the Ministry of Public Works. As soon as it is ready, a request for funds will be forwarded to the police headquarters to source for funds. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a genuine case and that is why we have prevailed upon the Ministry of Public Works to give us the bills of quantities in order for us to know how much money we are going to allocate to that particular place. We are going to modernize the place. We are going to install proper sanitation. It is, indeed, true that the cells were built in 1954.

• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last financial year, we requested the Treasury to allocate us some money in order for us to modernize some of these cells.

I do not have any objection. But, what we are doing, as a Government, is to make sure that we come up with modern facilities so that we have three different cells; one for the juveniles, one for females and one for males. That will be done countrywide. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need the Bill of Quantities so that we can estimate how much money we will use. I am not sure that the ones that the Questioner is talking about have so far been given to us at the headquarters. Bills of Quantities can be taken to the OCPD who does not remit them to us. I kindly request the hon. Member to ask the OCPD to remit the Bill of Quantities in order for us to do a budget and allocate funds so that we can modernize that police station. view
