• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs regarding the money that has been set aside for youth activities. Since the Government has set aside some money in this year's Budget for youth activities, the youth all over the country have actually formed youth groups. My concern is that recently, some people have been going round collecting money from the youth and they are charging them Kshs220 per member of the youth groups, promising them that they are going to assist ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, given the debilitating effects of HIV/AIDS in the country, taking cognizance of the high number of orphans estimated at 1.2 million; noting the increased primary school enrolment occasioned by Free Primary Education Programme, and further noting that the increase is not reflected in secondary schools; this House urges the Government to implement free secondary education programme for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS and other causes. 2538 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 2, 2006 First of all, I would like to give the background information about orphans and vulnerable children by ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: When I speak about orphans, I mean children who are orphaned either by the HIV/AIDS or other causes because an orphan is an orphan. Education is the key to empowering orphans. It lays the foundation for economic empowerment and redress to gender inequalities. Education is the key to the leadership of any country. Orphans are often stigmatized and discriminated against in their families and communities. Therefore, they require the Government intervention, especially in education. It is very difficult for orphans who lack access to education and other services to become productive members in the society. Education constitutes an effective way ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2363 voice in support of this Motion. I agree with other hon. Members who have spoken that, actually, this Motion should have been passed yesterday in order to give permission to the Chairman of the CDF to bring this Bill to improve on some of the provisions in the Act. I am saying this because if this Motion had been passed sometime back, one of the improvements we would have seen, as other hon. Members have said, is the increase of the ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this year's Budget, the Government has set aside a lot of money for the resettlement of land clashes victims. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am being informed that the money is not enough. How is the Government planning to spend that money in resettling these victims of land clashes? Why is it taking so long for the Government to resettle these victims now that they have an allocation for that purpose? view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I rise to support the Motion, which addresses the issue of shortage of housing and high mortgage interest rates charged by financing institutions in the country. I would like to address myself to the issue of high mortgage interest rates. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, shelter is a basic human right, and not a secondary human right. In order for an individual to acquire a house in this country he or she must be a high income earner. No wonder one-third of our ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. I would like to talk about Emali-Loitokitok Road. This is a very important road for the economy of this country. For the last three financial years, money has been allocated to this road but nothing has been done. In the Printed Estimates for 2004/2005, Kshs180 million was allocated for this road. In last Financial Year, 2005/2006, Kshs400 million was allocated to it but nothing was done. In this financial year, 2006/2007, Kshs600 million has been allocated for this road. I would kindly request the Ministry to tarmack this road ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is common knowledge that holding grounds all over the country were grabbed a long time ago. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell this House whether the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) operations will be sustainable without holding grounds, especially around KMC? If not, what measures is the Government taking to reclaim those lost holding grounds? view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Motion. I rise to support this Motion and agree with those who have said that it was a fairly good Budget. It is one of the best Budgets ever read in this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the first good Budget that has ever been read in this House. In the middle of the journey, I think something goes wrong. At the beginning, we read very good budgets. At the end, we start talking about Budget deficits, misappropriation and Printed Estimates which ... view
