• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say that he is disappearing. The reason why maybe this young boy is disappearing is because he was sent home to go and bring his parents to school. Of course, to date, he has not shown up. We are still tracing him through Safaricom and will definitely get where he is. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with the use of the Safaricom equipment, I am sure that we will trace where this young boy is. I would beg my colleagues to let the police try to trace him through the Safaricom equipment. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, it is not quite proper for us to give the timeframe, because this is somebody who disappeared. So, we are using the Safaricom equipment to trace the boy and we are getting very good leads. If they continue with the investigations, the boy might be traced maybe next week or today. But we have very good leads which we are using. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Safaricom gave us information that they can only trace the phone when it is being used. I am not sure, but it might be difficult for them to know whom they have called. We have not reached there yet, but the information we have from Safaricom is that the phone is still operational. But sooner or later, I know for sure that once we get the whereabouts of this young boy, I will even report to this House that we have now succeeded to get him. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the police have so far done a commendable job. This is because they started with the school. We got all this information that I am giving here from the principal of the school. A watchman had already recorded a statement and some of his colleagues have also been interviewed. So, let us wait for the outcome of the police and Safaricom investigations. Sooner or later, we will definitely know where the minor is. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware. Due to the exorbitant price of the repairs vis-à-vis budgetary constraints the repairs have not been carried out. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: (b) It is not true that the Ministry has not allocated any funds for the repair of motor vehicles. During the last financial year, each district was allocated a total of Kshs352,112 for repair of motor vehicles. It is also important to note that whenever there is an allocation of relief food, there is normally an Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) to facilitate transport. The District Commissioner is at liberty to utilize the funds for repair of vehicles or hire vehicles to facilitate the transportation of relief food. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The question of repair of motor vehicles assigned to District Commissioners is a decision which is made by the officer himself. I am, however, aware that due to financial constraints the District Commissioners have not been given adequate funds to carryout repair of motor vehicles under their custody. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, only one of the two lorries belongs to the Provincial Administration. The other lorry belongs to the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. Our lorry requires a total amount of Kshs523,000 for repairs only and the one for the Ministry of State for Special Programmes requires Kshs620,000. We had asked the DC to do a letter to us if he does not have enough funds for repairs. Otherwise, the Ministry of Public Works has given us an estimate of Kshs523,000 for repairs only. If the DC does not have enough money apart from the Kshs351,000, ... view
