• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I even doubt whether they understand that what we are amending is just the Motion and not the document itself. The document is bulky and we concur with some recommendations and disagree with some. The Constitution guarantees many rights for Kenyans, namely, the right to food, shelter and many other things. At a time when the cost of basic goods like unga, rice and sugar is rising, what guarantees have been placed within the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) that was tabled to cushion the mwananchi against these soaring prices? This thing has not come as a ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Fund was set up for a very specific period of 20 years. The people from these marginalised areas would have lost on one year, if this Government does not budget for the 0.5 per cent in this Financial Year 2011/2012. The utilization of the Fund can wait for the Bill. However, setting up the Fund and pumping in the money for future use because the Fund is ring-fenced does not require any Bill. Why has this Government not factored in the 0.5 per cent of the Equalization Fund for the Financial Year 2011/2012. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House? Under the Article he has referred to, the RAC will only identify the marginalised areas. The RAC will not identify the amount of money. The amount of money and the percentage thereof is already indicated in the Constitution. So, is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With your indulgence, the Assistant Minister has been giving misleading information to this House. On one occasion, he said that the prospecting licence does not expire, when the law was very clearly read to us. Secondly, we have produced authentic letters here, where the county council says that it has not given consent, and he is denying and saying that consents were given. Would I be in order to request that this Question be deferred to a later date and let the Assistant Minister produce and adduce evidence of consent by the ... view

• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that I wanted to ask, which was also asked by hon. Joho, has not been answered. How is the Government going to effect the zero-rating of wheat and maize flour into price reduction, so that, that benefit is transferred to the public? view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Ministry, in terms of the Economic Stimulus Programme, was supposed to construct one fresh produce market in every constituency. When the Assistant Minister says that he has no immediate plans, he puts us in view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I equally want to laud the Assistant Minister for this adjustment because the education status has not been uniform. Some of us have been marginalized to the education level. So, you might not expect to find many candidates with “C” Plus and “C” plain in those areas. Could the Ministry make public the number of recruits that we expect in every county before the recruitment date? view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question has not been answered. Before the recruitment date, the Ministry will be in a position to know the numbers. What we are asking is whether the figures can be made public before the date of recruitment. Is he in order not to answer the question? view
