• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the bridge along Tetu-Kahiga Road has been swept away? view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister because he has given an undertaking that he will give the Kshs9 million that the BQ quoted. However, I want to tell the Assistant Minister that in 2008 we prepared a BQ of Kshs7 million and this Ministry agreed to fund that bridge. In 2009, we did a review. We also did a review in 2010 and 2011. Could he assure this House that he will avail those funds this financial year? The Assistant Minister knows very well that that is an agricultural area, and he is one person ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has given me the assurance that he will do it within two weeks. But I also want to ask him that when they start doing the bridge, can he give us, at least, Kshs1 million so that we can do a diversion because that is the only major bridge that we use and we need funds to do a diversion when he will be constructing the bridge because I know it will take so long. Or, rather he should give me an undertaking how long it will take. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to ask the Assistant Minister what he has done to make sure that people do not encroach on forest land because most people who have shambas next to the forest are actually tilling Government forest land. What urgent measures has the Assistant Minister taken to curtail that? view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking what urgent measures the Assistant Minister has taken to make sure that people who have land next to the forest do not encroach the forest. This is because in most cases, you will find people who have shambas next to the forest till inside the forest and later on claim that to be part of their shamba . view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill but I also want to say that we really need to do an overhaul of the whole Traffic Act. So, since the Minister is here, I would urge him to bring amendments to overhaul the whole Traffic Act. First, I want to say that in most developed countries priority is given to Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) but when you look at this Bill, it is like having deterrent measures to PSVs. PSVs are used by majority of Kenyans because most of them do not own cars but when you ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, after the post-election violence in 2008, it is on record that the Director-General of the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) said that he gave information which the Government ignored. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that this time, he is not going to ignore any information from the NSIS, which is funded by the Government? It is on record that the Government never acted on that information. Could he assure us that he is going to act on any information? If he wants to rely on SMSs and not the NSIS, then he should disband ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I even want to thank the Minister because of deploying the county commissioners. I want to ask him when he will redeploy the Provincial Commissioners (PCs), so that we can come of age. This will also help us forget about the PCs. We do not want to be referred to as Rift Valley Province or Central Province. We want to be called counties. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First, I want to applaud the President for the Address he gave on 24th from the Floor of the House. Coming from an area where we have many IDPs, I want to thank him for the kind of money that he has put in the Budget so that we can be able to resettle the IDPs and the forest evictees. Rift Valley being the centre of forest evictees and IDPs, I want to thank him because he has given a lot of money for ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for this Member to keep on misleading Kenyans that overnight lending is just misused by the banks while we know that for a bank to be allowed to access overnight borrowing, they have to have Treasury Bills and Bonds? So, the Member is misleading Kenyans that overnight lending is misused. It is not misused because the banks have to have Treasury Bills and Bonds to secure that. view
