• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture. Considering that pastoralists have suffered three years of continuous drought; aware that as a result some of the pastoralists have taken loans from the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) and thereby used their ranches as security or collateral to secure these loans; given that this prolonged drought has continued to affect the pastoralists’ ability to service the loans; aware that Kenyans engaged in other forms of view

• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, classified roads attract funding. There are not very many roads which are classified in North Eastern Province. That is why every financial year, the province continues to suffer in terms of road rehabilitation. What is required for a road to be classified? What is it that the Ministry requires to justify the classification of a road? Is it that you have to know the Minister and he can do it for you? view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs:- (a) why the Government has not established a High Court in the whole of North Eastern Province; and, (b) when he plans to establish one. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realize that the Assistant Minister has confirmed that actually North Eastern Province is the only province in the country today which has no High Court essentially denying the people of that region access to justice. Cases are referred from Mandera to Marsabit which is over a distance of 1,500 kilometres. It, therefore, means that many people in that area have resorted to settling their disputes through the traditional methods. Cases of murder and rape are now determined by elders because people have no access to justice in that part of the country. He himself received ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank the commitment given by the Assistant Minister and I hope that he can follow it up. The court in Garissa now, as he said, is a sub-registry. I am told that in Machakos, they had a sub-registry which has now been made a High Court facility. Can you consider, in the meantime, upgrading this facility so that it can handle the cases? view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that state of confusion is created by inaction on the part of the Government. The United Kingdom is not the only mission that we have a problem. Can the Minister confirm to this House and to the country the number of missions that do not have a substantive head of mission? When they do not have substantive heads of missions, the Government continues to pay ambassadors’ official residence in anticipation of Government appointing an envoy. That way, we continue to incur so much loss on behalf of the Government. How many missions, to the knowledge of ... view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought that the Minister would be faithful to the question. I have asked him how many missions are vacant. Is he, therefore, suggesting that Geneva has been filled and that Libya has a view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has tried to explain a matter that is so grave. Over the last few months, registration of Kenyans in North Eastern Province has been suspended ostensibly because the Government has no capacity to know who is a Kenyan and who is a Somali. I am not talking about citizens from another country. I am talking about those Kenyans, some of who have just finished school; who have no possibility to acquire a national identity card; who are supposed to participate in the registration exercise to be organised by the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) ... view
