• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Minister for that answer I am looking at this and seeing a water supply in Kacheliba Township. I was there recently and there is no supply of portable water in Kacheliba Township. I am also aware that there is no supply of water in Alarei which is also on this list. Could the Minister check and find out what is happening because although the money is allocated, even her colleague the Minister who is the Member for Kacheliba may confirm that there is actually no clean water supply within Kacheliba Town. Could she ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while thanking the Minister for all those answers and agreeing with her that she is able to do more, but basically because when I was in her position I raised the profile of Water from Kshs3 billion to a whopping Kshs24 billion. That is the reason the women of Kacheliba sent me to ask this Question. I am therefore, telling the Minister, we are very happy that there is consideration for Sioi Dam; but there is River Suam which divides Kapenguria and Kacheliba. It is next to Kacheliba Town. Would she consider using the water from ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware that all the nine assistant chiefs recruited in Molo District on 23rd April, 2010 were men contrary to the constitutional requirement of gender inclusivity; (b) whether he could provide the qualifications and details of all the applicants who qualified and attended interviews; and, (c) what steps he will take to address the anomaly and ensure strict adherence to the constitution in all future recruitments countrywide. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Assistant Minister say that there were 17 posts. Out of them, only two women were taken. They were appointed in 2011, long after the promulgation of the Constitution where the one-third gender requirement is included. I, therefore, want to ask him why they failed to comply with the gender requirement and in particular whether in Sachangwan Division in Molo, there was an applicant by the name of Mary Nyangweso Turungi, Josephine Nduta Wanyoike and Jacinta Waithera who all had ‘O’level education which was the qualification. I would like to know why those three ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say that male candidates scored higher and that answer contradicts his earlier statement that there were no female applicants. Is it in order for him to merely assert that the male candidates scored higher without tabling the scores of each of the applicants where these three ladies were interviewed, so that we are satisfied that what he is saying is, in fact, correct and whether he applied affirmative action. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Is it in order for him to withhold information? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I sought an answer from the Assistant Minister and not from the back bench where I sit. If the Government finds that my honourable colleague is able to answer better than the Assistant Minister, they may appoint him to answer the Question. Is it in order for a fellow colleague to purport to answer my Question in the guise of informing the Assistant Minister? This is for interrogating the Government and not back benchers. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister mentioned climate change and one of the ways of mitigating climate change is reforestation. We are in the rainy season. I am wondering whether the Government has considered getting all the public institutions and also asking the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to join the Forest Department that is doing commendable work reforesting during this period. Is that something that has crossed the Government’s mind? view

• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to draw your attention that, over two weeks ago, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, while responding to my request for a Ministerial Statement on the abduction and killing of Samir Khan, the Chair found the Ministerial Statement unsatisfactory and asked that it comes in two weeks. Two weeks ended on 9th this month. It has not come back. I was requesting that, perhaps, the Chair could give directions that it either comes tomorrow or next week on Tuesday. I can see the Minister right here. view
