• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government employs the following criteria in the distribution of Emergency Relief Fund:- (i) The districts are allocated emergency relief funds if there arises a need for allocation of such funds. (ii) If normal lives of people are disrupted by any natural or man-made disaster thus making them unable to fend for themselves, the Government will be obliged to allocate emergency funds to assist the affected people. For example, a natural disaster such as drought or floods may destroy the ability of the people to feed themselves. That will occasion the intervention ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: (c) The following are the amounts of money allocated to the Government for the transportation of relief food in Chalbi District between January and June, 2008. A total of Kshs662,500 vide the table which has been given for the Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) from January to June was disbursed for transportation of the food. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do appreciate what the hon. Member has pointed out. Having visited that district myself, I realised that the number of kilometres that have got to be covered are very many, and the mount of money allocated is not enough. So, we, in the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, will make sure that enough allocation is made towards the Fund and be disbursed immediately, so that whatever allocation of food is given to them, reaches the people. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has realised that it is not enough to give relief food all the time. My Ministry deals with emergencies, but the long-term solution will have to come from the development of those ASALs. That is why a Ministry has been created to be in charge of northern Kenya and other ASALs. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish it was possible to give enough to everybody. I realise that what we have as per our allocation is not enough. I hope that this House will be able to put a case for us. That is because there are cries all over about food not being enough, drought and starvation. So, we hope that this House will put a case across, so that the Treasury allocates us enough funds in the next financial year. We can only avail what we have. We cannot go beyond the budgetary allocation that we have. Because of the ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the practice of our Ministry to actually allocate trucks. But, unfortunately, Chalbi had not been allocated one because it was in a larger district. Now that it is Chalbi District, I think it actually deserves a truck. But since we do not have that allocation, we will look for funds and when they are available, we will allocate them one truck. view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think when we come to give answers here, some hon. Members make a joke out of it and Questions are being repeated week after week. I think we should have handled this Question after the reply was given by the Assistant Minister. As far as we are concerned, that is the position even today and this Question, if I were to give advice then--- view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Ms. Chepchumba's Question. I wanted to just give advice. view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Minister for Lands on this budgetary allocation. Whereas I am giving support to my colleague, I am worried that the funds allocated to that Ministry are inadequate. In the last two financial years, we had money allocated for Settlement Fund Trust (SFT). This money assisted the Minister and his team to resettle people. However, in this year's budgetary allocation, there is no allocation for SFT. I am concerned because I thought it should have been a continuous exercise, with the Government making sure that the Minister for ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Western Kenya Community-driven Development and Flood Mitigation Project is an eight-year project financed by the World Bank to the tune of Kshs6.5 billion. The objective of the project is to empower local communities in all the districts in the western region of Kenya, plus two districts in Nyanza Province, that is, Bondo and Siaya, in wealth creating activities through poverty reduction and by reducing the vulnerability to the frequency and costs of the current floods and contribute towards development benefits. The project has three main components, namely, Community-Driven Development, Flood ... view
