• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is what used to happen before. Currently, there is a great improvement. In fact, a person does not have to be asked to go where he or she originated from. Secondly, computerization is now in the pipeline and we expect that all Government documentation will be computerized to such an extent that one can receive the identity cards immediately. Finally, in almost all district headquarters and all divisional centres, you will find thousands and thousands of identity cards uncollected. We are trying to use chiefs and assistant chiefs to go and look for people who ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not confirm that there is a problem in the issuance of identity cards. Issuance of identity cards was decentralised ages ago. People go to the divisional centres where they apply for identity cards. It is true the processing still comes up here but when we do the computerization, it will even be easier. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a weighty decision that I have to leave to the substantive Minister, but I will convey your wishes. I think it is a very valid question. Do not forget that sometimes when you have made your application and you have received the acknowledgement it could be found that you are not entitled to an identity card when it is checked. So, I think it would be a very dangerous thing for us to do. We do not want to end up with foreigners being registered as voters. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: With regard to the first part of the question, I will give reassurance that indeed June 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1899 the remaining 5,639 applicants will get their identity cards. I had already given the hon. Member the assurance that I will help him to take them there. The second question does not deserve an answer from me! view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Education, I beg to reply. This is a Government of collective responsibility. (a) I am aware that Shiyiro Primary School, in Butere Mumias District, has not received the following disbursements due to the invalid account numbers given by the headteacher at the time of disbursement; in July, 2006 - Kshs122,400; October, 2006 - Kshs142,400. (b) The error has since been corrected and the money disbursed to the correct school account No.226750707 at the Kenya Commercial Bank, Mumias Branch. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: The total amount disbursed to the school is Kshs265,200, which the school has confirmed as received, and not Kshs246,000. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since we now have the correct bank account number, I want to assure the hon. Member that this money will be transferred immediately because it is available. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The total number of Toto lottery outlets in Nairobi region is 105. (b) The current directors are Amin Rayani, Zakir Rayani and Ekbal Rayani. (c) Toto lotteries have distributed Kshs8,423,999 to various charitable causes over the period 1st January, 2005 to December, 2006. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do have mechanisms. The Betting and Licensing Control Board does check the books of organisations that are involved in lotteries. But the world over, lotteries have got a way of dealing with a situation where there is no 100 per cent guarantee. Unfortunately, Kenyans are very gullible and are people who like to bet. So, from time to time, they get taken for a ride. We are in the process of bringing legislation to this House to set up a national lottery. Once we do that, other than promotion lotteries, there will be no other lotteries ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has got quality officers. One of the duties of the quality officers is to look at the facilities on the ground. Secondly, they are supposed to see the money that has been disbursed to the school and compare it with the work that is supposed to have been done. These are the people who monitor funds disbursed to schools and that includes zonal inspectors at the divisional level. The Ministry has got mechanisms to ensure that the money being disbursed is used for the purpose for which it is intended. view
