• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has emphasized that the police are doing everything to curb any further criminal activities of this nature. In Waseges in my constituency, a man was shot dead in his house by about nine criminals about a month ago. It has been very difficult to know which police station the matter is supposed to be reported to because we are dealing with the OCPD, Subukia, and the OCPD, Nakuru. All of them are supposed to be taking care of matters touching on security in Rongai. What is he doing to ensure that we ... view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Seven months ago, I stood here to ask for an OCPD. The commitment that the Assistant Minister is making today is the same one that he made seven months ago that he was making arrangements to deploy OCPDs to various areas which did not have OCPDs then. He is saying the same thing without telling us specifically when he is going to do that for Rongai. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, almost every year we lose bridges, because of flooding. In the last financial year, many bridges were swept away. What did the Minister do in the last Budget to accommodate those bridges? How soon are they going to be constructed? view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem of flooding was also prevalent last year. We experienced damage to many roads and bridges. The Ministry asked for a list of bridges. The list was compiled and forwarded to the Ministry. The lists are lying in the Minister and floods have started. We have so many bridges that are affected. We are going to have a big number. What is the Ministry doing to solve the problem, instead of waiting until there is an emergency and start evaluating? What immediate measures has he taken to address the current emergencies? view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has told us that due to shortage of funds, they cannot buy the equipment that would reduce the hospitalisation period of patients to two weeks, yet, as the hon. Questioner has said, the Ministry spends over Kshs200,000 to feed a patient for six months. Is it in order for him to say that the Ministry has a shortage of funds when they spend Kshs200,000 to keep a patient in hospital for six months? view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the concern of Parliament to know the capacity of stretchers in the event that there is need to carry more than one patient at a time in the same aircraft. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to tell us whether there is need for stretchers in those aircrafts or not? We are asking the capacity of stretchers in those aircrafts. How many? Can you tell us? Stop avoiding the question. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister keeps on repeating the words “reasonable interest rates” all the time. It is the interest of this House and the nation’s for us to know what the interest rate is. Is the Assistant Minister in order to keep on referring to a figure that is not declared? view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Adjournment Motion. I would like to do so by, first and foremost, congratulating the Members of this House for a wonderful job done through this Session. The Kenyan people, at least, can see that their representatives have heeded to their call to serve them and I think we have served them very well. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: As we adjourn, I would like to highlight a few things concerning what we think is very important for us to address or for the Government to look at, particularly the shortage of food to maintain our people in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps. This is because it has been proved that we will not honour what we had promised. We had told our people that come December last year, there would be no IDP camp in this country. But as we speak in this House and go on recess, one of the things that we will encounter out ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have also said that we have set aside funds to buy farms. I want to say here that farms are not missing or we are not lacking land to buy. I think there is a problem in our procurement system in the Government. If, for example, valuation is done in a place like Rongai for a parcel of land offered for sale by willing sellers at about Kshs60, 000 in an area where land ordinarily goes for a range of about Kshs400, 000 between willing buyer and willing seller, I think the Government is joking. ... view
