• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me come to the biggest component of our population who appear to be the biggest winners in this Budget; the youth. In this Budget, a lot of money has been set aside for youth programmes. I would like to disagree with Mr. Billow when he said that this could be a pre-election campaign. This will, indeed, stand the test of time. I believe that the Government intends to implement the youth programmes it has earmarked in this Budget. In this country, the youth constitute a bigger percentage of our population. This is the first ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that students in public universities under the parallel programme benefit from loans from HELB? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason for the acute shortage of water in Kajiado District is not completely as a result of the last drought. Most of the residents of Kajiado District get their water from the Noolturesh Water Pipeline and Conservation, which comes from a river in Loitoktok. The reason for acute water shortage, especially in Kajiado and Loitoktok towns is because that pipeline was constructed without taking into consideration the population growth in the area. Could the Minister consider providing a new modern pump at the source of the Noolturesh River that can serve Loitoktok and ... view

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very important road to the people of Loitokitok and to the economy of this country. It has been used as a campaign tool by successive governments to win votes from the people of Kajiado South. Its designing was carried out and according to the way it was done, it will cost a lot of demolitions on people's properties, and especially in a place called Kimana Town Centre.

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Assistant Minister has put it, the survey of the 892 view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this important Motion which has come at the right time. Two days ago when we were marking Labour Day, the President appealed to multinational oil companies to bring down fuel prices. I want to thank hon. Ojode for bringing this Motion, which can be described as a Motion for the disadvantaged. As we all know, the price of fuel determines the prices of all commodities, be it foodstuff or farm inputs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, liberalisation has actually resulted in a lot of dumping. When you visit petroleum companies, you find that we even have very low quality products. If we reduce the cost of kerosene, it will even assist our country in conserving our environment. Right now, our forest cover is 1.7 per cent, yet the internationally required standard is 10 per cent. So, people are actually moving towards other sources of energy, for instance, firewood, because of the high cost of Kerosene. So, bringing down the cost of kerosene will actually make our people conserve our forests and we ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: . So, if the Government supports and implements this Motion, it will assist the disadvantaged and reduce the cost of farm inputs. The Government should control these multinationals. These multinationals will not go anywhere because they are in business. It is high time we asked them to plough back some of their profits to our economy. We should not allow May 3, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 865 them to gang up in the name of liberalisation to oppress the common man and kill our economy through inflation. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
