• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like to talk about the issue of teachers. I am glad that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has given an undertaking that he will consult widely to ensure that the issue affecting teachers is sorted out. As we speak on this, we may not enjoy our recess because every child is now at home and teachers are out there in the streets. It is something that we need to emphasize and we need to ask the Government to take urgently. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Adjournment Motion. 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

• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for that short time that you have given me to say at least something. I want to start by supporting this Motion. This is a very important Motion that ought to have been given sufficient funds to ensure that it is able to fund medical services countrywide. I have in mind the many health facilities in the countryside that we have developed partly through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and some through the parent Ministry. Unless those facilities are staffed and given the other basic necessities, they may end up not being useful to ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has cited a few sources of power. However, we are made to understand that geothermal is the way to go now. The explanations that have been given to us by those who are presiding over the production of power through geothermal is that the cost of power in the next four to five years will come down by about 58 per cent. In last year’s Budget, they asked the Government to allocate a substantial amount of money so as to meet their targets. Apart from the money that is coming from ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister alluded to the introduction of the new generation IDs cards which will enable the holders to vote during the general elections. When will he implement the usage of these new generation cards? view
