• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) whether he is aware that Sook Market in Kapenguria Constituency and Lokori Market in East Turkana are not connected to electricity; and, (b) what plans the Ministry has to ensure that these centres and other town centres in the country are connected. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that answer. I do not know whether he is aware that Lokori Market is actually like the capital of the new Turkana East Constituency; in the case of Sook it is also a big market centre in Kapenguria Constituency. Could the Assistant Minister give the time frame within which he will be completing installing electricity in these two markets and other major markets within the country? I am aware that there are some markets in Gichugu without electricity, but I have been given the timelines by REA on when they ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while congratulating REA for the work that they are doing, it is important that the Assistant Minister assures the House that in very vast areas like Turkana, West Pokot and other places sufficient funds will be allocated to enable the people living there to enjoy rural electrification. In this case, Sook Market is 23 kilometres away from Chepareria and not 6 kilometres as you indicated. Will you confirm that you will allocate sufficient money for them to be connected by the end of this year? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, knowing that there are pockets of poverty even in seemingly well-to-do constituencies and in order not to marginalize any needy girl, could the Assistant Minister consider giving sanitary towels to every school-going young girl who needs them and; what arrangements has he made with the manufacturers as a bulk buyer to get them at reasonable prices? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Just give one minute to each hon. Member! view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill. This Commission is necessary. Noting that no institution is perfect, we, as leaders, need “speed governors” when it comes to our utterances. Other Kenyans, too, need “speed governors”. This Commission acts as a “speed governor”, so that all of us can appreciate at all times that there is somebody behind us, noting what we are doing. I do not think we can over-emphasise the importance of good relations amongst all citizens and communities. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the Assistant Minister’s reluctance to answer the Question or inability to improve upon the unsatisfactory answer, would it be in order to request that the matter be referred to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to enable the many Members with similar incidences by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to come forward so that this matter may be investigated further? view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Minister must have found this answer already written and awaiting signature when he took over the docket a few hours ago. Is he satisfied about these strategies and which are those hot spots? view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Minister for the answer, I wish to remind him that the flair-up in Tana River County occurred and escalated when the same strategies were in place. There were also similar situations in Wajir, Mandera, Moyale; on the Isiolo/Samburu border and the Isiolo/Meru border, as well as on the Pokot/Turkana border. I want to give special mention to Kaptir Ward in Turkana, where every other day, we lose a person due to skirmishes between the Turkana and the Pokot communities. Could he, therefore, consider reviewing his strategies since view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is apparent that hon. Members are making a general condemnation against police officers and the GSU merely because maybe one or two may not have behaved well. Would it be in order for the Minister to clarify that he will take action against the culprits to stop this blanket condemnation of our security officers? view
