• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister. However, since the work is already going on between Kinangop and Dondori centre, could he assure this House that he is going to award the contract to the same contractor so that the work can be finished urgently since he is already on site at Dondori. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the Vote of the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. First, I would like to thank the Minister and her technical team for the good work that they have been doing, although the Ministry has really been under-funded. This Ministry has very special duties. It has a duty like the management of HIV/AIDS which the Government only supports by giving 10 per. The 90 per cent comes from donors and we have seen times when donors are not ready to fund the HIV/AIDS programmes because of ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes is supposed to have the poverty eradication programme but due to lack of funds, they are only doing all they can with the little funds that they have. So, I urge the Ministry of Finance to consider funding the Ministry of Special Programmes. Floods have become a problem. We know that River Nzoia busts its banks now and then. We have been told by the Meteorological Department that we may have ElNino rains soon. So, I urge the Ministry of State for Special Programmes to also set aside ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I support this, I urge KENAO to put more money on the control side. This is because they only audit and do not carry out controls. They should do the controls before they audit. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Ministry of Agriculture and the entire team, because of a well presented budget, although I know that it is very limited. We have not been able to go even a tenth of the Maputo Declaration. However, I am pleased that we have seen a lot view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Vote for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance. I also want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and his staff for the good Budget that they gave us. At least, we were considered in our constituencies this year. It has reduced the influx of Members of Parliament going to Ministries to beg when they want a road, a school or a hospital done. With the economic stimulus, we will get these things without going to the ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the equity distribution that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance did by giving all the constituencies equal funds is not a bad idea. This is because you could be having a big population while the other area has a big land mass. So, the way he distributed the money was not bad. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance also tried to solve the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) problem by asking Ministers and senior civil servants to surrender vehicles above the 1800 cc, but that seems not be working since the idea has ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: With regard to the Civil Contingency Fund, it is high time the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance brought this before Parliament so that we increase it to more than Kshs2 billion. This is because we have seen him bring in other contingency funds and claim that, that is money for settling the IDPs and other things. I think he is just increasing the Civil Contingency Fund through the back door. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is also buying shares in De La Rue. I agree that every country should have a money printing company, but at the moment, De La Rue is operating at a very low capacity unless they will work hand-in-hand and see to it that they install good machines that will print money. I think currently, the company cannot even print the new generation notes. view
