• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I also want to say that this is a very important matter. I would like to tell the hon. Prime Minister that when we ask questions, it does not mean that we are not interested in the programme. We really want this programme to succeed because we have youths in our constituencies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has actually confirmed in the value for money audit report that money was lost. I think that is not in doubt now. Hon. Namwamba, somehow, wants to downplay the amount that has been lost by talking ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He said that ineligible means that the World Bank money was used to finance activities that were supposed to be financed by Government contribution. But, already, there were funds that had been voted by the Government to finance the same activities. Could he explain what happened to that money? Could that not be the money that has also been highlighted in the Report by the Controller and Auditor General as being misused? view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know from the Assistant Minister whether the charges or the levies charged by the engineers to draw the designs and the Bill of Quantities are official from the Ministry or they are just random from the engineers in the field? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support my colleagues in requesting that you allow us time, particularly for a different reason. The documents that have been tabled here mainly dwell on donor support. As we all know, there is also the Government of Kenya contribution to this programme. The Controller and Auditor-General has raised serious audit queries on the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme in the Report for the 2008/2008 Financial Year. Therefore, if you allow us time, we will be able to consolidate all these audit queries and address them. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have listened to the Assistant Minister on the steps the Ministry is taking to improve the farmers’ earnings. One of them is to encourage factories to generate their own hydro power. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is also aware that some of these projects are used as conduits of exploiting the farmers. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: It was a remark. Let me ask the question, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is the Ministry doing with the amended Act which was passed in this House last year and to date, it has not been gazetted? This Act was meant to bring some of these benefits to the farmers. It has taken over one year for the Act to come into operation. What is the Ministry doing with that Act? view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030:- (a) whether he is aware that a number of village elders who participated in the 2009 census (including Kipchabai arap Chepkwony of Cheptalal location) have not been paid for their services todate; and, (b) when they will be paid. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that answer. But when I received this answer, I spoke to the chief of the area. I have also had a chance to go through the list which the Minister has. It has the names of the village elders who have been paid. It is clear from the list which the Minister has that there is a slight problem with the names. The village elder I am referring to is popularly known as Micah Chepkwony which, apparently, appears in the Minister’s list. But the name on the ID is ... view
