• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to point out one or two issues as pointed out by the Minister. The transitional mechanisms will be very important if we are to see the full benefits of devolution because already exists certain mechanism on the ground. Without proper transitional mechanism then what we are going to see is that we have Governments that are not really able to work together or to ensure that they maximize at both levels. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, two issues have already been achieved in this Bill. One of them is establishment of the Council of Governors. I think this will be an avenue upon which we may be able to do a bit of capacity building for the Governors. This is because we realize on aspects of managements, for example, they are cross cutting across all the Counties. The challenges maybe different, but the methods of addressing those challenges, indeed, will largely be the same. As has already been pointed out what exists today in way of ALGAK is purely more of ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue that I would wish to point out and I would like the Members to, probably address is the issue of when exactly the County Governments will come into force. I have seen in this Bill, we are proposing that it should be after the first election. I do not know exactly what we mean by the first election. However, I am sure, maybe, we will get proper interpretation, because if you are saying, we have a run-off then I do not know whether the County Governments will already be operational. If they ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, I wish also to point the issue of transfer of assets from the already existing Government structures that are meant to be transferred to the County Governments. Some of them are under the Municipal Council while others are within certain Government departments. This Bill clearly gives a method and a structure between which these assets can be transferred and to ensure that there is no lapse that will, otherwise, lead to the loss of such assets. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: With those few comments, I wish to second. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 29th November, 2011, the hon. Member for Saboti, Mr. Eugene Wamalwa, sought a Ministerial Statement from my Ministry. In his request, he asked the Ministry to give a Statement on when a bridge will be built on Sigiri and Mlwanda crossings in Busia District to avoid further disasters and loss of lives in the area. Secondly, to confirm what urgent measures have been put in place to provide a ferry in the meantime and a motorboat at the said site to respond to emergencies before a permanent solution is sought. Lastly, he also sought to know ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated in my response, my Ministry has undertaken to do these two major bridges alongside other critical bridges in the country that link critical market areas and where people live. However, our current budget does not allow that. As early as 26th October this year, we were requested to nominate five bridges to be funded by the Netherlands and this was one of the bridges that were given. We are very positive that we will get this funding for Sigiri Bridge. The other one is not among the top five that we gave but we ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I invite the Minister for Transport to inform me. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree to the request by the hon. Member for Saboti that in as far as the bridges are concerned, I have been able to give a proper answer and I think it is satisfactory. However, as far as it relates to the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, I would be glad that the matter be referred to them because I cannot adequately respond on their behalf. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the humanitarian response would fall under the Ministry of State for Special Programmes and it is for that reason that I am requesting that we forward it to that Ministry. My Ministry is--- view
