• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will continue from where I left yesterday. But before that, I want to commend the Minister for promising that he will take action 2036 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 against those police officers reportedly from the Flying Squad who brutally attacked a Member of Parliament. I witnessed the incident since I was outside and the force used to arrest hon. Kombe was too excessive. I think hon. Kombe was not accorded the dignity he deserves as an hon. Member. I would like to urge the Minister to ensure that Members of Parliament as well as ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is in the public domain that this issue should not be washed away that easily. We need to discuss the matter, so that Kenyans can know that something is being done about it. However, I would like to touch on corruption. This Ministry has been mentioned as the most corrupt Ministry. It is surprising that this Ministry is under the Office of the President. When you hear that the Office of the President is one of the most corrupt Ministries--- view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my colleagues by saying that the Minister has fairly allocated money to the districts in this year's Budget. The only discrepancy I saw was Meru Central, which was allocated Kshs110 million for construction, while Bomet was allocated only Kshs9 million. It is my hope that Bomet District will receive Kshs110 million in next year's Budget. We want to put up a new district headquarters. Insecurity is rising in Bomet District and I would like to ask the Minister to curb it. It is not surprising that the residents of Bomet ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) which company was awarded the contract to gravel Kiptagich-Silibwet Road (D31) and at what cost; and, (b) whether he could confirm that the said contractors completed the project as per the terms of the contract. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to a magazine which is produced by the Ministry of Roads and Public Works called Ujenzi Magazine 3rd Edition, the construction of the road is ongoing. I just travelled on that road about three weeks ago and I did not see any construction works going on there. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister what he is doing to have that particular road completed as per the original contract. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is the Assistant Minister doing to get this road completed? If the money that was voted in last year's Budget was not utilised on that road, what is he doing in this year's Budget? Is there any programme for completion of that road this year? view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this year's Budget Speech by the Minister for Finance. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the outset, I would like to thank the taxpayers for having contributed their part in paying their taxes so that these taxes can be used to alleviate poverty and improve people's lifestyles. Since we came to this House, the tax bracket has continued to increase and, as such, a lot is expected from the Government. The money that is being collected is supposed to be put to good use and ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: I am talking about hon. Martha Karua! She has changed to the extent that she has come out as somebody who has the best interest of this country at heart. I encourage her because unless we get Kenyans thinking about Kenya, and not about themselves, we will not make progress. As much as we want to think about that, we still see a lot of inequalities in the way employment opportunities are distributed. The Government should treat all Kenyans equally by employing people from all communities to key positions. Mr. Ojaamong is still insistent that Teso is included. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to see a Kenya that belongs to all of us. We want to see a Kenya that we can have pride in. The incident of the Artur brothers, the other day, made us feel that there is something so wrong somewhere; that we are not a country that takes care of Kenyans but embraces foreigners. I hope the incident will be brought to light and those responsible will be made to answer. As we speak, Kenya is being watched as a country that does not care for its own citizens. With those few ... view
