• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Hon. Munyao, who is expected to prepare an answer, should now listen! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the idea of this fund is a most welcome one. The existing housing schemes and funds which are managed by commercial banks and organizations such as the Housing Finance Company of Kenya (HFCK) are too expensive for low income earners. It must be appreciated that hon. J.M. Mutiso is specific that this Fund should be for low income earners. I remember this point because we know for a fact that there exists a civil servants housing scheme, but it is only amenable to high ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also said that it is high time the Government borrowed a leaf from Parliament. The Parliamentary Service Commission, through the Parliamentary Mortgage Scheme, has set an example. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Indeed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, the Parliamentary Service Commission Housing Mortgage Scheme, which is amenable not only to hon. Members but also to all cadres of staff within the Parliamentary Service, is one such example. Within the scheme, the low income earners who are employees of the Commission, have access to cheap financing. Indeed, I think it is Parliament that is now leading by example. All that this Motion is doing is to ask the Government to follow suit since Parliament leads and others follow; like the Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 545, there is Head 380, Item 2210700, Training Expenses. Last year, the provision for it was Kshs256,250, but this year, the provision is Kshs10,256,250, an increase of Kshs10 million. I just want to get a clarification from the Minister on what these training expenses are all about. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am querying Head 400 - Architectural Department, Item 3110200 on page 320, the second item titled: "Construction of July 19, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2235 Buildings". I just wanted to get a clarification from the Minister because I can see that last year--- view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was saying that I have seen that last year, there was a provision for Kshs1,242,000,000. This year, it has gone up to Kshs2,094,000,000. I just wanted to get a clarification from the Minister because it is showing that it is in the Architectural Department. Is it for buildings countrywide or is it just for the headquarters? view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am querying Head 505 - Purchase of Specialized Plant, Equipment and Machinery, on page 321. Last year, there was a provision for Kshs2,475,000,000. This year, the provision is for Kshs42 million. The Minister talked about some equipment coming from Korea. It is indicated that most of the payments were made last year. Is the Kshs42 million the balance or what is it? view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would hate to interrupt the learned professor but is she in order to use the word "nonsense" while contributing? view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say a few words about this Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. While commending the Minister for the announcement about the equipment that he says his Ministry has purchased, I want to caution that we have been told this story for the last two years. I hope that my good friend, Mr. Nyachae, is serious that the equipment is actually here. If so, I would like to ask that it should be stationed at the regional centres, so that we, in the rural areas, ... view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is very little. I know the total estimates costs. I work very hard! I know the total cost will be in excess of Kshs2 billion. So, when I am saying that I know it has been allocated this paltry sum of Kshs176 million, design work is ready. I also know that. I am saying that the Minister should move next week and advertise and let works on that road commence. If not anywhere else in the country, that road should commence because for the first time, we will be seeing tarmac in my constituency. ... view
