• 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. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to underscore the fact that although the House will adopt this Bill – I hope - the key issue is that we still have a third opportunity; that is, at the Committee of the whole House stage for the Committees or even ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I just want to state that by enacting this Bill, the intention is not to increase any bureaucracy in the process of registration, but to refine these processes and make them more efficient and user friendly for those who intend to go into business or form associations of this nature. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I reply, let me apologise that the hon. Member has not gotten a copy of the answer, but I hope that he will follow as I respond. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Municipal Council of Kisumu is in the process of employing 90 employees in order to fill the approved vacant posts in the staff establishment. All the necessary procedures have been followed, which include budgetary provision, adoption of Council resolutions, Ministerial approval and advertisement for the 90 posts. The 98 employees who were laid off were illegally recruited. They were employed against non-existent posts, with no budgetary allocation, when the Council had been dissolved after the expiry of its term. (b) My Ministry has started staff rationalization in ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to state that, first of all, the number of people being employed is 90, and not 100. The positions that are being filled have now been properly laid out in terms of what kind of personality or skill we are looking for. In the case of non-skilled personnel, we have also worked with the Council to be very specific. The 98 employees that I said were employed earlier on were laid off because at that time, the Council Clerk, Mr. Mbinda, waited until the Council was dissolved in the year 2002, just before the elections, ... view
