• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a pilot project and we have tried as much as possible to cover most of the country. We are in 44 districts. Whereas I appreciate and empathize with the issue of the Mau Mau war veterans, I would like to point out that they are not the only ones who are 65 years and above and suffering because they are not accessing this money. The other Kenyans also deserve it just as much. I think this is a very good programme. Please, let us not kill it. The only thing I am asking my ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still insist that it is a pilot project until the social protection policy and the law are in place, in addition to the Treasury giving us enough funds. Again, I am also relying on my colleagues here. As we talk, I remember even at the point when we were discussing whether it should be scaled up to Kshs2,000, I stood here and tried to plead with my colleagues but nobody wanted to listen. So, out of this money, Kshs220 million will go towards the scaling up to Kshs2,000. We will then remain with about Kshs250 ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even in my own constituency, I face the same problems, because it is only one location which is covered. So, I face the same problems. We have not covered the whole country. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do appreciate what hon. Members are saying, but let me just plead again. We have to work together to make sure that these funds are increased. The bill for the payment of, at least one million old persons will come to Kshs24 billion in a year. So, please, let us work together so that, at least, we get a fraction of that money. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am so disappointed with Dr. Khalwale that I want to remind him that I am also his senior here. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, why am I talking about my colleagues in this Parliament? In this Budget, there was Kshs845 million that was re-allocated from my Ministry to the Ministry of State for Special Programmes by the Budget Committee of this House. What else can I say? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to state here that, if, one, Dr. Khalwale, has a problem with the Prime Minister, please, let him not rub it on me. view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the social development policy and the Bill have had a problem because there are some stakeholders, for example the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the Ministry of Labour, who are not in agreement that we should complete this. So, we are in the process of deciding on whether we should leave the NSSF and the Ministry of Labour out of it, so that we can bring here the required Bill and policy as soon as possible. view
