• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. I also want to thank the Mover of the Motion, hon. Kapondi. We know him for his work in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. We thank him for coming to the defence of innocent girls in this country who have, for many years, been victims of culture. I want, from the onset to say that it is, indeed, true that women in this country and in this continent have for so many ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to bring to the attention of the House that there is a clear motive by a section of this House to try and hype up the issue of IDPs, especially now that we have cases going on at The Hague. In my constituency--- view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must be protected! view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to do that. view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the residents of Kangangu are demanding an access road through Kakuzi Limited property, which is a rather shorter distance to the main road, and will save them a total of 15 kilometres’ walk. (b) It should be noted that the access road in question is inside a private property. Nevertheless, my Ministry, through the Provincial Administration and the local residents, has been in discussions with Kakuzi Limited with a view to acquiring 1.5 hectares of land for the access road. In the meantime, Kakuzi Limited has allowed human ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the records we have date back to the year 2006, when we had official communication between the management of Kakuzi Limited and the Members of Parliament, together with the community. Since then, we have seen steady progress and I believe that before long, we should be able to get to some conclusion on this matter. However, it would be inaccurate to claim that the community is land-locked when they have access although they are not able to use vehicles. I cannot be able to give a definite date, but I want to assure the hon. Member that ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we expect that the leaders from this particular area will be able to talk with the people around there, as has been the case in the past. I recall that in the year 2008, we had an incident, where the residents went into the farm and caused some damage. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The allocation of Road Maintenance Funds to the constituencies is governed by the Kenya Roads Board Act, 1999, Section 6(2) (d) as amended through the Kenya Finance Act, 2009, Section 74 (a) and (b) which reads as follows:- “(a) 22 per cent which shall be deposited into a special account to be called the Constituency Roads Fund Account to be maintained by every constituency of the monies from the Fund allocated equally to all constituencies in the country to be administered by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority. (b) 10 per cent of the ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the question by the hon. Member is whether it is fair, and the answer is, it is not fair. I wish to remind the hon. Member that in the year 2009, Members of the CDF Committee actually proposed changes. My Ministry thought it was not the best way to go as a country, because we have certain constituencies like Westlands, for example, whose about 95 per cent roads are tarmacked and are in good state. They, however, will get exactly the same amount as a constituency in Samburu, North Eastern or any other part of the ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again I go to the amendment as passed in the year 2009; it completely ties the hands of the Minister, or the Ministry for that matter. We cannot vary this. Previously, we had the option of deciding based on the degree of difficulty or the challenges that you may have in your own constituency. As it stands right now, there is very little we can do outside the law, unless this particular Act is changed to accommodate the differences or disparities in sizes of particular constituencies. view
