• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support this very important Vote. The Minister and Permanent Secretary no doubt are very qualified Kenyans. Every Budget time, we have developed a song. As parliamentarians from northern Kenya when the Budget is read, we realize the serious shortfall and lack of attention the Ministry gives to the northern and Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs).When you speak to them, you get a sense of passion, but that sense of passion is never reflected in the Budget. Therefore, I would like to plead that this is given ... view

• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this important Vote. I begin by congratulating the Minister for Medical Services and also the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation since I have this combined opportunity to contribute. First of all, I think in terms of policy, this should have been one Ministry. This is my personal thinking and whoever decided that these Ministries be two needs to re-think the strategy because we need effective delivery of health services. For it to be effective, we need effective co-ordination at the top. The monies requested by the Ministry for Public Health ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of basic sanitation cannot be overstated, particularly in a place called Wajir. I know the Minister had an opportunity to visit that place; it is the only part of this country where, 40 years down the road, the communities there continue to use bucket latrines in order to discharge their waste. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation does not take that particular district as a priority district in terms of engagement and investment, I think that the communities that live there will continue to be confronted ... view

• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Assistant Minister attempts to answer this Question, I want him to come with information particularly regarding the former Acting PC for North Eastern Province, Mr. Maingi, who served in the Province for two years. The Government did not pay him any acting allowance and yet he was relieved of his duties when he was qualified to be confirmed as a PC. So, as the Assistant Minister comes with the answer, he should tell us why he did not pay him acting allowance for two years. The Assistant Minister ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Prime Minister for giving us a very comprehensive Statement. I can see that the Statement was generated by very many Ministries regarding what they have done. I travelled last night from the North Eastern Province and seeing is believing. Why has it taken the Prime Minister and the President a long time not to go and acquaint themselves with the situation in the view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I support it with my heart, mind and soul. I begin by thanking the hon. Member for North Horr, Mr. Chachu Ganya, for bringing this Motion before this House and for causing the Government to take action. This Motion which seeks to address the problems that nearly 80 per cent of this country’s population faces has been brought on the Floor of this House by an hon. Member. This should have been the responsibility of the Government. The Government should have brought this Motion ... view
