• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can only say that the Minister is not available and neither is the assistant Minister. I will ask the Chair to defer the Question to tomorrow afternoon. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Tomorrow afternoon. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the county council of Kirinyaga has not had a qualified clerk for over ten years. On various occasions, my Ministry has posted qualified clerks to the County Council of Kirinyaga, but local leaders have been contesting the transfers. A case in point is the transfer of Mr. Francis Maina Gathura to the council vide my office letter reference Number C1C58 dated 8th May, 2009. However, another qualified clerk was posted vide my officer letter dated 19th of August, 2009 and I have attached the copy to the Question. ... view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is not being intimidated. However, we have to take into account the fact that a local authority is also an entity which is led by politicians. We have to try and come to an understanding when we are dealing with some of these things. It is not a question of the Ministry being intimidated at all. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at this point in time, definitely, Kirinyaga County Council is one of the most stable councils in terms of the operations and management. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On the issue of land grabbing or anything of that nature, that becomes a different matter which can be a substantive Question in this House, where there is a dispute over something else. But in terms of stability within Kirinyaga County Council, that has been upheld so far. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a completely different Question. We are focusing on Kirinyaga County Council. If there is an issue about Nairobi City Council, I would request the hon. Member to bring a substantive Question. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find myself in the same dilemma and I would really request that hon. Kiuna brings a substantive Question regarding Nakuru. view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Dr. Khalwale knows that I never discriminate against women, and have no intention of doing so. On a broader situation, the scheme of service under the Ministry of Local Government has not been very fair to many staff members in the Ministry in the sense that it has, over the years, led to a situation where officers are neglected and have not been upgraded or monitored in terms of performance, so that they can be promoted appropriately. The Ministry is taking some corrective action. We are in consultation with the Public Service Commission so that these ... view
• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of staffing, I would like to repeat that there has been an anomaly in the scheme of service under the Ministry of Local Government. In fact, one of the propositions we are making is to be able to have a Local Government Service Commission which will help us focus on the staff and professionals in the local authorities in our country. It is a big challenge as they say. I have no immediate response but to say that we want to have a long-term answer to this. This is because virtually every local authority has ... view
