• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these training institutions were designed to provide opportunities for people who live in catchment areas. There is one such institution in Garissa. I would like to find out from the Assistant Minister whether they could consider allowing the students at Garissa Medical Fe bruary 18, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. One of the reasons why we passed the Bill was that there was an understanding with the Government that the ECK staff would be re-deployed so that no Kenyan suffers. In fact, it is regrettable that three Kenyans have already died as a result of frustrations and due to loss of income. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister lay on the Table the results as approved by Cabinet and to confirm to the House and the country when the ECK staff will be re-deployed into the several Ministries? Do you have a timeframe as to when these officers will report in the Ministries and when will you pay them the money? That has not been clear from the Statement. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I give him two minutes. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to concede one minute to my neighbour, the Member for Wajir North Constituency, so that he can make an important contribution to this Motion before I reply. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the House for acknowledging that we have problems in this part of the country. I would like to thank the Government for supporting this Motion. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Minister of Sate for Public Service has said that there is a policy document before the Cabinet. This is a resolution of the House. It does not require the Cabinet to discuss parity of jobs in this country. It is guaranteed under our Constitution. The Minister could not explain why they have a revised scheme of service. As I speak, there are vacancies of chiefs, drivers and clerical staff in this country. All that the Minister needs to do is provide directives to Government Departments to ensure parity of job opportunities in this country. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now, newspapers are being utilised to advertise jobs. I am worried because newspapers reach Mandera or Moyale or Turkana three days after an advertisement is made. Therefore, there is need to provide instructions to Government Departments in order to decentralise the recruitment of this cadre of staff, so that we do not rely on newspapers. This will enable our people to apply for the jobs. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, what I have suggested in this Motion is intended at achieving parity. In Turkana District, for instance, there was an advertisement for drivers. What happened is that local residents, some of whom even had Form Four certificates, were not able to access those jobs because of the threshold of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) mean grade C-. Therefore, the Minister needs to ensure that we have the Kenya we want, in which our people will have equal opportunities. We do not want the Kenya where we create class structure, and create situations which cause people in certain regions ... view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Areas is in the House. There must have been a reason as to why after 40 years, the Government of Kenya decided to established this Ministry. How does this Ministry help us when the current policies are still discriminative, in terms of employment and budget formulation? In the last Budget, the Ministry was given a paltry--- view
