• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence for more time because the officer concerned has not given me all the details that I required. Could I be given more time? view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is fine. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (a)The Government of Kenya has allocated relief food to non-Emergency Operation Programme (EMOP) beneficiaries in the greater Wajir District during the months of March to July as follows: 3,000 bags of maize, 12,150 50-kilogramme bags of rice,1,940 90-kilogramme bags of beans, 1,200 cartons of vegetable oil and 600 50- kilograme bags of beans. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I actually explained the criterion used. The criterion used is that there is an assessment carried out by a multi- sectoral group, where you have the line Ministries involved, plus the UN agencies and the District Steering Group. That is how they come up with the numbers. The place could be big but apart from being big, it is a matter of assessing the number of people who really require to be given food. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I do not agree relief food is being shared among the three constituencies as alleged by the hon. Member. We usually send the food to the District Commissioner for distribution. This programme was never meant for the whole country. It was meant for arid and semi-arid areas. At the general food distribution, we have had to contend with the fact that most of the areas now are suffering and we have to share out the little that we have. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would prefer that the hon. Member file a substantive question so that I can give a reply specifically on his area. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, part “a” of my answer was on the Government of Kenya general food distribution. I do not mind repeating it. As I said, from March to July, for the greater Wajir, that is west, east, south and north, we have so far distributed 3,000 bags of maize, 12,150 bags of rice, 1,940 bags of 90 kilogramme bags of maize or beans, 1,200 cartons of vegetable oil and 600 of 50 kilogramme bags of beans in the general food distribution. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the sub-location committees are actually appointed by the wananchi in barazas. It is wananchi who decide the membership of those committees. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said clearly that there are two ways that we distribute food. There is the general food distribution and the EMOP Programme. The EMOP Programme is where we require the lead agency. We do not wait for the assessment to be carried out for us to give out food. It has been an ongoing thing. We have given out food every month to all the needy Kenyans. view
