• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to ask the Minister the following question: In that particular trust fund, a lot of resources come from donors and the Minister has said that the donors have imposed stringent conditions, what support are you giving as the Kenya Government - not donors - to organizations like those, whose officials are working so hard but the resources are limited because they are coming from donors? What efforts are you making view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many a times, family members of civil servants who pass on in the course of duty have difficulties in accessing their benefits. The late view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Margaret passed on in 2002, and the monies were paid out in 2005. That was three years from the time of the death and the time when the family members accessed the first benefits. What mechanism will the Assistant Minister put in place to fast track payments, so that families are relieved of extreme pains after they lose their loved ones who have been working for the Government? Three years is a long time for a family to wait for benefits. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about a policy. What happened in this case was that they accessed the benefits after three years and not 30 days. If a 30-days policy had been implemented, it would not have taken three years for the family to access those benefits. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to suggest that because of the time remaining and the fact that a lot of us have an interest in contributing to this very important Bill, we request Members to restrict their contributions to five minutes instead of the 20 minutes given in the Standing Orders, so that many of us in the House can get an opportunity to ventilate on this very important Bill. I, therefore, wish to plead with the House to allow us to reduce the minutes. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I want to congratulate and thank hon. Chachu. I want to say, on behalf of all the pastoralists in this country, that we are proud to have hon. Chachu as a Member of Parliament. I will be very surprised if the people of North Horr do not give him another opportunity to come to this House. Before this Bill, hon. Chachu had brought a Motion regarding the management of drought in this country and the House supported it. However, we have a Government that does not ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree that this is not a listening Government. In fact, it is after hon. Chachu brought this Motion due to the compulsion of this House or Members of Parliament, that--- view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Minister will get his opportunity. We are proud of this House because the representatives who are here are true Kenyans. They are the ones who supported the Motion. They are the ones who today continue to support this Bill. So, if it is fair to say thanks, then we will say thanks to Members of Parliament and not the Government, because it acted after a Member of Parliament brought a Bill here. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if it was about tea or coffee - and with due respect to my colleagues because the ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was all an afterthought. I am just talking about a fraction of what the Minister is talking about. But the Minister will also confirm that they are refusing to do the road between Garissa and Mandera and I do not know for what reason. It is now that the Minister confirms it does exist. Through an Executive order, they are trying to formalize it through the law; there used to be what was called the Arid Lands Resource Management which was a very important institution in the Office of the President and later in the ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: find a way to reinstate it alongside this. That project must be brought back. It should not be parallel to this. It should not take up the role of this organization. That one must be brought back. I want to thank Mr. Chachu once more and Mr. Elmi for his intervention. As the Minister of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands, you have not failed as a person but your Government has failed you. You had better resign so that then we can know that you have not performed, with the Kshs3 billion that was given, ... view
