• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same line, the Assistant Minister said that, that could be because of stress factors. He has also alluded to the fact that they are trying to carry out counselling services for the police force. How many counsellors and psychiatrists have they employed to assist in that function? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has been observed that insecurity in the country is not uniform. There are some constituencies in the country which are insecurity prone and have perennial problems of clashes. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell this House whether there is any affirmative action to provide vehicles to police and administrators in those constituencies, and why that has not been done in the case of Bura. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she could provide a list of staff establishment at Bura and Hola irrigation schemes, indicating their respective details, departments, terms of service and dates of employment; and, (b) whether she could also provide the details of all workers who have retired from the schemes in the last 5 years and indicate whether or not they have been paid their respective retirement benefits. view

• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to thank the Minister for the consideration, although this should have happened long ago. They should have realized that the Constitution is very clear as to gender parity within Government employment and Government circles. I would want to thank them for their action of taking in the ladies. However, I had also raised a concern that there was a list of about 17 people I tabled in this House. They have been employees of this institution for the last close to 10 years. The answer we have been getting from the NIB ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I come from the ground and I know those people very well. Whereas the Minister says that those people have been working on and off, this is the scenario; someone is picked to work for three or four months, then they are terminated the same day and rehired the next day. They then end up serving even for four months on those terms and this has been like that for the past ten years. This is abuse of the labour laws. If this is not a scheme to keep people ... view

• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it may be true that Bura and Hola irrigation schemes were revived in 2008. You revive something which is partially working. These are some of the casual workers who were still on duty. Even if the Minister was to take it on the face of it from 2008, we are now three years down the line. There is no justification whatsoever, even for three years, to have people on temporary basis. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would be satisfied as long as the rights of Kenyans are not trampled on. Here I am representing them. I would like to tell the Minister that this is not good and they should look into that affair and make sure that something is done to sort out and remedy. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to be very brief. I want to agree with the previous speakers, hon. Wetangula and Mr. Ethuro. They could not have said it better. You wonder whether it is a regulatory authority that is missing or it is just the Government that has gone to sleep and refused to do what it is supposed to do. With all the Authorities around, we still complain about our roads, that they have been done badly and the Government pays for the supervision through budgets towards these authorities. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do ... view
