• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said it in this House before, and I will say it again; I think it is very dangerous to continue promoting these vernacular stations. We have seen it happen elsewhere, where vernacular radio stations have been used to virtually destroy a whole nation. I think it is time that the Government made up its mind not to license vernacular radio stations. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have got the written answer to the Question. In fact, last week, the Assistant Minister told me he will be here to answer the Question. I do not know why he is not here. If the Minister is out of the country, where is his Assistant Minister? view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for that answer. However, when they say there is no security risk, in fact, that is where our problem is. We have different communities who are coming to these areas and causing a lot of problems to the local communities. We have even had deaths as a result of this. We are worried that if there is a continuation of these people coming to these group and private ranches, we might get a Laikipia type of incident. We would like to request that the Government takes more specific measures to ensure that ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the Minister that it is not just a small Maasai community. There are other communities and I think this is our concern. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this emphasises the point I was making, because this is in the same area. That is why it is so important that it is addressed. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the District Education Officers (DEOs) contribute a lot to the development of education standards in their districts. What does the Ministry do to ensure that these DEOs do their work properly? view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think this is disappointing coming from the Office of the President. The Ministry of State for Defence falls under the Office of the President. It was their responsibility to ensure that they bring the correct answer. The excuses they are giving are unacceptable. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we laud the Minister for trying to streamline the KFF, he will not be able to sort out the problem if he dissolves the KFF and leaves the other organisation in place, because that is where the problem is. Unless the two organisations are dissolved, then the Minister is not getting anywhere. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what makes us doubt the Assistant Minister, as far as this Question is concerned is that, he is making rather contradictory statements. He said that investigations are continuing. He further said that they forwarded the file to the Attorney-General for guidance. Now, it cannot be that way! It is either he concluded the investigations and forwarded the file to the Attorney-General for direction, or he has not done the investigations at all! view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Question is much broader than that. In fact, it does not just affect the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. When road engineers go to work in the field, they demand some money for lunch and other uses. So, we need a clear policy, maybe, from the Ministry of Finance, stating how much money should be given to such officers, or what procedure we should adopt. view
