• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I have the written answer, please? view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands:- (a) whether he could explain to the House why Wajir South Constituency was allocated only Kshs900,000 in the 2010/2011 financial year while Wajir East Constituency was allocated over Kshs40 million; (b) whether he could update the House on the status of the sewerage program in Wajir East District, who was awarded the contract, where and how the water to pump the sewerage will be sourced from; and, (c) whether the Ministry has achieved the mandate for which it was created. view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands was created to reduce inequality between the arid lands and the rest of Kenya. You have also heard the Assistant Minister say that Wajir South was given Kshs900,000 this financial year while Wajir East was given Kshs40 million. The sewerage project which was allocated Kshs1.5 billion is also for Wajir East. I would like to know from the Assistant Minister why there is that disparity between Wajir East and Wajir South. view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I ask my last supplementary question, the Assistant Minister has not answered my third question. I wanted to know whether the Ministry has delivered its mandate so far or whether it has achieved its mandate for which it was created view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Ministry was created to uplift the constituencies in northern Kenya, so that they can catch up with the rest of Kenya. However, three years down the line, there is nothing tangible the Ministry has done in northern Kenya. It seems the Ministry runs its programmes and affairs on an ad hoc basis. It is runs on the basis of whoever goes to their offices. What plans does the Ministry have for Wajir South for the financial year 2010/2011? view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she could provide a list of all water projects undertaken by the Ministry in Wajir South, Kitui Central and Turkana Central Constituencies from 2008 to date; (b) what measures the Ministry is taking to mitigate the acute water shortage in the vast Wajir South Constituency; and, (c) whether the Government could consider establishing an irrigation scheme along the Waso Belt (Lorian Swamp) in Habaswein District. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the House that the Minister has not asked me to ask the Question. However, she has ambushed me with the answer. I had no time to verify when the projects were done as the answer supplied has four columns, namely, the name, the location, the nature, the cost and the completion status of the project. However, it does not show the year the project was done. In the answer, I can see many projects that were done way before 2008. In fact, some of them are as old as eight years. The ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has not answered the question asked by my colleague, Mr. Affey. Currently, one of the two water bowsers that she has given us has a blue number plate, registration No.KBJ and it is owned by the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation. There is a threat to withdraw that water bowser now or in the near future. The hon. Member asked whether she will be kind enough to talk to them so that the water bowser stays there, because water trucking in that area is done on a daily basis, whether it rains or not. ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have heard about “rockets” working in our supermarkets. Are there rackets going on in his Ministry with regard to the issuance of permits to foreigners through dubious means? Secondly, the Ministry has issued 26,000 work permits to foreigners. Is the Minister aware that there are more than 26,000 Kenyan degree holders who can speak English, Swahili and even vernacular languages but have no jobs? Why did the Ministry issue 26,000 work permits to foreigners when there are thousands of Kenyans who need those jobs? Specifically, if I go through the Minister’s answer, he has issued ... view
