• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my friend in thanking the Assistant Minister for giving an indepth answer to this Question, but every other day, we bury dead people in Kitui District due thuggery. Our homes are being broken into and there are also petty thieves. The police have relaxed in their duty to curb insecurity. One of the reasons why the police have relaxed in Kitui District is because they have been there for so many years without being transferred to other areas. Therefore, they get used to the locals and become accomplices in these thefts. ... view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the year 2006/2007, the money which was allocated to the YEDF was Kshs1 billion. Each constituency, out of the 210 constituencies, got Kshs1 million. To this day, the banks which were appointed as financial intermediaries to keep the difference have made the conditions so difficult for the youth to access the money. This is because they are being asked for security and things they cannot offer. Therefore, the effect of the YEDF has not been felt on the ground. If you go to the ground and ask the youth if they have received any money, ... view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last Parliament, which was the Ninth Parliament, when the issue of the Pan African Parliament (PAP) came up, I believe that the ruling then was that these slots would be shared on the basis of party strength. Today, you have just ruled, when Ms. Abdalla rose on a point order, that this House respects precedence. If you look at the names of hon. Members who are being nominated to the PAP, while I appreciate that they are very able hon. Members to represent this country to the PAP, the precedence on selection of these names ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell this House what measures he intends to put in place to compensate the farmers for their plantations which were destroyed during the 2007 post-election violence? Most of these farmers are currently in the camps. Much as we may want to supply them with free fertilizer and seeds, they might not have the opportunity to go back to their farms. They are relying more on anything which is going to come from what remained after the destruction. Is the Ministry making any arrangements to compensate these farmers? view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is by sheer good chance that all the three Presidential candidates in the last General Elections are part of this Government. One of them, who is now the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, said that he would compensate those who defrauded wananchi through these pyramid schemes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that he is the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, does the Government have plans to compensate these people or was that just political rhetoric? view

• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been listening to the Minister carefully. In his Statement, he said that in 2004, both KACC and UHDL appointed two receiver managers. However, he did not tell us how much money was realised then. He just told us that the two receiver managers were involved in fighting each other. Even if they were involved in fighting each other, what action did they take? How much money was received in the process of fighting each other? Where was that money taken? Who was the recipient? Who was the beneficiary? Secondly, the Attorney-General, who is the custodian ... view
• 22 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot of money has been used by the Government for survey and design works. From time to time, money is allocated for design works and yet those roads are never constructed. Over time, the demography is also interfered with. Could the Assistant Minister confirm here that when a road has been surveyed and design work completed, the Ministry has a mechanism to ensure that, that road is repaired, so as not to spend more money on design works again? view
• 17 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, allow me to congratulate you for your ruling on this weighty issue. Whereas you have referred to the ruling of the late Speaker, Mr. Humphrey Slade, that Mr. Shikuku was allowed to sit on the nearest seat to the Speaker's left, by then, Mr. Shikuku was alone on the Opposition side. Given that Mr. Jirongo is seated on the left side of the Chair, but he is not alone and given that we want to avoid any ambiguity, could you clarify or order that the Front Bench on the left of Mr. Speaker ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
