• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister inform the House what the Government is doing to make sure that the whole of Kenya benefits from Government funded borehole projects? In Kandara, which I represent, we are struggling to put up a borehole using the meagre resources that we have from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF)? When we hear that other areas have benefitted from Government-funded projects, we are actually surprised. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of the roads that are in the rural areas that do not form part of the main highway usually have no funds for repairs. Could the Minister tell us how much money is set aside by the Government for the general maintenance and repair of such roads? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs:- (a) whether he could confirm that Mr. Murugu Njuguna (APN/PC/6286) once worked for the Prisons Department and that his services were terminated unprocedurally (b) why he has not been paid his terminal dues since the 1960s and whether the Vice-President could state how much the Government owes him, the formula used in the calculation of the dues and indicate when he will be paid; and, (c) whether the Government could consider compensating him for the long delay in payment of his dues? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Vice- President for the answer he has given, but I would like to assure him that this pensioner has not received a penny for the last 30 years. The last time they communicated to him was in 1969 and he was asked to submit an account number, which he did, and no money was forthcoming. So, I would like the Vice-President to tell this House exactly what he wants to do with this pensioner, because he served the Government diligently for all those years and he retired a very, very poor ... view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is true that the Vice- President has consulted me and he has directed me to an officer in his officer. But this is very serious injustice. Could he would consider paying this gentleman all his dues with some interest? view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House? The creation of new districts in the country was not an accident. I am sure it was something that the Government planned for. So, the issue of lack of vehicles keeps coming here all the time. Why can he not tell us when we are going to get vehicles? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the confusion created by the new districts, is the Ministry prepared to allow the districts to rent offices within the same area? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he could inform the House whether the Ministry has guidelines on the amount of money paid to members of Land Tribunals as allowances, state the criteria used in setting allowances and indicate the number of sittings a member should attend before being paid; (b) the reason why members of the Land Tribunal in Kandara District have not been paid their sitting allowances since they started working after their appointment and subsequent gazettement; and, (c) when they will be paid. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I would like to appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, I do not think he is telling us the truth. Members of Kandara Land Disputes Tribunal have not been paid for a long time. In fact, whenever I go there, they ask me to give them allowances from my own pocket. Is it because the Assistant Minister does not recognize their work that he does not pay them or what is the reason? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have just heard the Assistant Minister say that funds are not available, yet he says that Kandara members have been paid. Where did these funds come from? view
