• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 283 Head 311 - Headquarters Administrative and Professional Services, I was just wondering about the purchase of specialised plant, equipment and machinery. Last year, they had Kshs50 million but it has jumped to Kshs572 million this year. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is just to congratulate the Minister for running her Ministry very efficiently. I pray that she continues doing the same good job. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister might also wish to consider the work of the traditional birth attendants. They do a wonderful job and they really need to be given gloves and a few other things. view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I want to acknowledge that it is true that a lot has been achieved by this Government. But, of course, a lot of evil has also been done by this Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we go back to our various constituencies, obviously, we are not just going to concentrate on our constituencies alone. I think there is a need for us to look at the bigger picture, and that is the nation of Kenya. We need to really think about what direction our country ... view
• 27 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In contributing to the Budget Speech, I appreciate that the Government has to, of necessity, raise funds to meet its various obligations in delivering service to Kenyans. It is important that the Government enhances its machinery in terms of collecting taxes to ensure that all the due taxes are collected. In fact, I believe that if all the taxes that are due are collected, there will be no need to levy any more taxes on Kenyans. At the moment, Kenyans are amongst the highest taxed people in the world. The Minister has to ... view
• 20 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister has clearly stated that we should not go to those functions and succumb to the humiliation we are subjected to by those June 20, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1429 ambassadors. Recently, at the British High Commissioner's residence, we were humiliated and yet there was a Government Minister. That Minister stood there applauding. What action will he take against that Minister for succumbing to such humiliation? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the seriousness of this matter, may I suggest that this Question is deferred until we get a full report after the inquiry? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Government give us a comprehensive plan ensuring that the animals do not continue to destroy people's crops? view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. Indeed, it is long overdue. We are glad that it is now before us. Obviously, Kenya has done a lot to try and ensure that we reduce the HIV/AIDS prevalence. The fact that we came down from 13 per cent to 6.1 per cent prevalence rate is a clear indication that the Government and the Kenyan people have been doing a lot. I believe there is still a lot more to be done. I am glad to say that I have witnessed in many areas, the chiefs, district ... view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 16 provides that no person shall carry out an HIV test except in a testing centre. I know that there are personal kits for testing HIV/AIDS. So, personal kits for testing HIV/AIDS should be allowed. Obviously, certain people would not want to go out and get tested for HIV/AIDS. I am not very sure about the role of the proposed Tribunal. I know that various regulations are set out for the Tribunal but I think we need to look at it a little bit more carefully with a view to spelling out its real ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very well for the Assistant Minister to tell us the criteria used to appoint the directors of a water services board. The fact of the matter is that in 1074 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 31, 2006 nearly all these boards, the people who are appointed are not genuine stakeholders. You will find people who are not from the local communities being served by a certain water company having been appointed as directors. Would I be in order to ask the Assistant Minister to review the appointment of such directors in most of the companies countrywide? view
