• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what policy does the Ministry have on this highway: Along the Nairobi-Nakuru Road there is a bridge that is about to cave in. In my own constituency, near a place called Kamwaura, there is another bridge that is also about to cave in. I want to know from the Assistant Minister what policy they have with regard to such cases and how much money do they set aside to cater for such emergencies. I have already talked to the concerned roads engineers in Rift Valley Province and they said that there is no money from the ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) whether he is aware that there is an acute shortage of films and P1 Forms in Nakuru District and many people in some parts of Molo Constituency are already over 18 years; and, (b) whether he could inform the House when the problem will be addressed. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has not answered my Question. He is talking of Forms 136C, which is a different thing from films. The other day the Government announced that issuance of ID cards is going to be free, but what is happening is that passport size photographs are being charged for because the Government does not have enough films. As much as Form 136C is available the films are not available. Therefore, what is happening is that people are being charged money because the Government does not have films. They are paying Kshs100, or Kshs200 for the photographs. ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister and I come from the Rift Valley Province. I have talked to the Provincial Registrar of Persons in charge of the Rift Valley Province. He said that he receives only ten cartons of films every month which is not enough for the whole Province. Could the Minister confirm that when he goes back to the office, he will ensure that the Rift Valley Province, Nakuru District, and especially Molo will receive enough films? The registrars should also be stopped from charging money for those photographs because it is very expensive for the citizens. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to give the same answer to a question which was asked two weeks ago about this committee? This committee finished its work--- view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. It is a Motion that needs to be supported. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of oil to an economy is very important. If the prices of fuel are so high this obviously affects our economic growth. Therefore, it is very important that when we address issues of the economy, we have to address the issue of oil prices. As much as this Motion is important, we have to look at why these prices are so high. This is an ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, part of the reason why there is a problem with rural electrification is because Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) continues to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on projects that are supposed to benefit the rural people. Could the Government consider waiving VAT? That tax makes the projects very expensive. view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, apart from the AFC offices being too far from the farmers, there is also the issue of processing of loans. This process is too expensive to the farmers. Could I know from the Assistant Minister what his Ministry is doing to bring down the cost of processing loans? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Question has come before this House several times and the same answer which the Assistant Minister has given us is the same which was given in the previous Question. The issue of this committee, whose report was finalized in 2004--- Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that there is nothing that was done in 2005 about it. Could the Assistant Minister now tell us how much money has been set aside in the Budget of 2006/2007 to resettle the clash victims? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise up to oppose this Motion of Adjournment. This is a very serious House and I think that, as hon. Members, we need to be very serious. We are going to spend hours discussing two characters, yet we have a lot of business that is pending in this House. view
