• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (b) The Town Council of Mandera and Mandera County Council have used Kshs35.4 million and Kshs40.7 million for development purposes respectively, and Kshs50.9 million and Kshs104.4 million for the recurrent expenditure respectively. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The lists of all the development projects that have been undertaken by the Town Council of Mandera and Mandera County Council are very many. So, I undertake to table that list because I cannot read them out one by one. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to put it on record for the benefit of the Members that over and above that Question, we have been tabling the annual reports that are produced by the LATF in accordance with the Act in order to have an overall picture of all the local authorities in the country. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the additions may not tally at this particular stage because some of the payments with respect to some of those projects have not been made. Either there could be a delay in the release of the LATF or a delay in making sure that all the necessary documentation is available for payment. However, as we go through the projects on a specific basis, we will start singling out some of the areas that may be occasioning this deficiency. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that, indeed, in different parts of the country there are some projects which have been started and have either stalled or have been done very poorly. Through the guidelines that we issue to the local authorities and also following the reports that we get from the advisory committee, they are continuously giving new guidelines which are gazetted to enable these local authorities to undertake more serious projects.

• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is an issue I can raise with the Council of Mandera, because really, at the end of the day, when it comes to LATF, the Council makes the decisions. The Ministry really does not go out to micro-manage and insist that they must spread them out in certain areas. But since it has been raised as an issue here, definitely we will raise the issue of equitable distribution of resources with this particular council. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will alert him, so that he can prepare and issue the Ministerial Statement on Tuesday. The matter may require a well thought-out Ministerial Statement. So, I would plead, on his behalf, that he comes here with the Ministerial Statement on Tuesday. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will mention that fact to him, and hope that he will do it tomorrow, but I would like to seek the indulgence of the House that in the event--- view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to reply. This is, indeed, a precedent-setting occasion because it is one of those occasions where ordinarily, one would be saying: “I wish to thank the hon. Members for their contribution to this Bill.” I think that honour will solely go to Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona at this stage.
