• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I am very saddened! view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that because of erroneous classification there are several IDPs who are facing injustice? For instance, in Nyanza Province around Kisii and Kisumu, there are IDPs who have been classified as “returnees” and “integrated”. We have seen people with both limbs missing and they have never benefitted from a cent of the money that was given. There are people who have lost their loved ones and property. However, because of the erroneous classification, we have several IDPs who are being discriminated against. What is the Government doing to ensure that proper classification is ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to keep evading the question? There is a very fundamental problem, especially with regard to the definition of IDPs. The moment you call people “returnees” or “integrated”, you exclude them. We are just fresh from Kisumu and the things we saw there are horrifying. This country has forgotten IDPs. We saw people with broken limps and others with no legs. We saw a woman who had carried the head of her husband to bury. She had not received a cent. There are people who are ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will forgive me. I just arrived yesterday at 7.00 p.m. from Nyanza. Unless the Minister is misleading the House, the Provincial Commissioner, District Commissioners and Regional Commissioners have given us facts. In Kuria, there is a list that was sent and the Government, since 2008, has never responded. Not one person in Kuria has been paid. When they were asked, they said that the list was submitted late. Was it the fault of the IDPs? In Mbita and Suba, the list was sent and nobody has been paid. Personally, I ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Minister because she has handled this very well. However, as much as people may think we are politicking, could I request the Minister to liaise with the Minister for Medical Services because we have people with pathetic medical conditions so that the Government can give them free medical assistance between now and the two weeks? There are people who have died. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Motion. As I second this Motion, I want to draw our attention to the mandate of the Committee. Our mandate was limited to Question No.313 by Mr. Chachu. The Question was; “whether the Minister could table the list of boreholes successfully drilled by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in all the 210 constituencies in the last three years; and whether the Minister is further aware that not a single borehole has been drilled successfully in North Horr; and, what plans the Ministry has for developing water points in North ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can hear an hon. Member asking me, “Where is Bura? If he had been attentive earlier I actually explained that, if Bura is not here it is not an issue of lack of equal distribution. It means that it was covered in relation to other things and not boreholes. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that some areas could have been covered by irrigation. The Ministry convinced us that every area was being dealt with according to its needs. That is why I gave the example of Migingo Island. We are not going to give Migingo Island boreholes, because they can just stretch their hands and get water from the lake. I would also want to state that the Committee noted that about 30 per cent of the boreholes went to lower Eastern. You have to be a stranger in this country not to know that the place ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to mislead this House? I was an hon. Member of the Select Committee that dealt with organized crime and almost three-quarters of the young people who have been shot and killed come from Central Kenya. Specifically, they are Kikuyu. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I want to thank Mr. Affey for bringing this timely Motion. This is something that affects every single part of this country. We have several young people who have not been able to receive their identification. We know that the ID is a very important document in this country in relation to access of resources and services. It is now a right under Article 12 (2) of the Constitution. It is a fundamental right. I know there are people who would argue that because ... view
