• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion and state that the CDF money has certainly made a great impact in the various constituencies. I was happy to hear from Eng. Muriuki that from their audit report, no CDF money has been misappropriated. The media should highlight that fact because there have been very many accusations and counter-accusations on the misappropriation of CDF money by Members of Parliament. I am glad that is not the case. I hope the media will help us in highlighting the proper use of CDF money by Members of Parliament. ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that army worms have invaded shambas in Mwatate, destroying many acres of maize crop? (b) What steps has he taken to stop this menace? (c) Could the Minister provide seeds so that farmers can re-plant? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for his answer. I asked this Question one month ago. It is true that something has been done. But I would like to April 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 627 know from him what mechanisms are in place for the Ministry to be able to detect in advance possible invasions by army worms. Although the Ministry has provided the seeds, chances are that these people will not be able to harvest because the rains are beginning to fail now. view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to give the chance to Mr. Mwandawiro. view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister said that they can only post police officers to a police post when they are assured there is adequate housing. Is it the responsibility of the community or the Government to ensure that housing is put up for police officers and that there is security in the area? view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Presidential Speech. First, this House should record its congratulations to the Kenyan team that participated in the Commonwealth Games, which put up a splendid performance in Melbourne, Australia. Secondly, it should also support the idea of giving our sportsmen and sportswomen some cash incentives. That would be a great motivation factor for our sports people. We should also all support the idea of setting up a lottery to raise funds for promoting sports in this country. Our sportsmen and sportswomen have been ... view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no hesitation in stating who it is. It was none other than the Government Chief Whip who made that statement when we were having tea in the cafeteria. So, it is a statement of fact. Those who were present can confirm that position. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is this very attitude--- view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to dwell so much on this issue. I have made a statement which I would like the House to take as a statement of fact. I am not necessarily going to say which community was referred to. However, the statement was made. We have witnessed it within the deliberations of the various House Committees. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, the establishment of the Government of National Unity was supposed to bring us together, but it has failed to do so. The point I am trying to make is that when we sought direction from the Chair on the constitutionality aspect of the NARC Government "poaching" hon. Members from the Opposition into Government, and we failed to get that direction, we went to court. Now, I feel very strongly that the Speaker should have joined hands with, maybe, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, as well as with the ... view
