• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Having sufficiently answered that Question in detail, I seek to retreat. But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it should also benefit the House to know that we are a Ministry of details! Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as in any other organisation that sticks to corporate governance, employees report to the appointing authorities and, in that respect, the management committees are the oversight bodies. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: First of all, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of the amount that the hon. Member has cited. Secondly, there is an overall review of the schemes of service for all employees in the public sector and, therefore, as a Ministry, we fall in that ambit. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information is partly insufficient as given by the Questioner. There are many grants that have already been received and many polytechnics in this country have received equipment and instructors from the Ministry. Therefore, there is no crisis to be precipitated by the absence of the allocation of resources in January. The process of capacitation in terms of instructors and allocation of resources and equipment, indeed, is going on. I do have the listing of all the polytechnics across the country that have received equipment worth a minimum of Kshs500,000 each. It is upon the respective Members ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, as an ongoing process, the Ministry is capacitating those youth polytechnics in conjunction with the management committees. I want to inform this House that, in every constituency in this country, there is a Youth Officer who is linking with the respective Members of Parliament to ensure that there is communication on what facility is available in each constituency, so that it can be availed the requisite resources. As pertains to all those grants, they have been selected very strategically across the country alongside the youth empowerment centres and also the 50 model polytechnics that have been ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. It is very well appreciated that the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 has factored a lot of serious parameters in order to engage in economic revival and enhancement of our capacity as a nation to create jobs and wealth. It has also ensured that Kenya, in order to be a prosperous nation, has involved all sectors of the economy and that we maintain the historically marginalised groups and regions so that participation in economic development is enjoyed and the fruits of that engagement spread. view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: 2844 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 21, 2008 view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also appreciated that the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 has insisted that from the grassroots, we must incorporate plans that will enable communities to contribute ideas and prioritise on their agenda at the very basic administrative and village levels. That way, whatever development projects and programmes that the Government brings on board will be to the need and satisfaction of the respective communities. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second this Motion with the full appreciation since I know that a lot of hon. Members and the public ... view
• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion on the basis of four issues. First, we do know that Members of the Nineth Parliament were presented with the issues to do with the youth of this country and how they constitute a major threat, if their concerns are not addressed. During the post- election period, we saw the violence that arose and how the youth were involved. We also saw that through the uprising of certain youth groups around April and May. Again now, there are issues that are arising in our secondary schools. They have something to ... view
• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to claim that most of the Ministers have booked to go to China? Indeed, most of them have not. He is lying to the House. view
