• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, time and again we have stated here that people from the pastoralist communities are displaced every other day because of clashes, drought, and many other calamities. However, the Government seems to always have empathy on the post-election violence victims without recognizing that all year round there are communities which are displaced because of the ravages of life. What clear policy does the Ministry have in trying to resettle such people? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one dimension to this issue of exploration of deposits not only of iron ore but also of other minerals across the country is where companies would obtain prospecting licences, or mining licences, but would hold land idle for close to ten or 20 years just for speculative purposes. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that such companies do not bar other companies from exploring for minerals? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, KKV I was a sham. My experience and that of hon. Members attest to that. The youth did a good job. They were not paid but besides that, vouchers were filled to show that they were paid. We have adduced that evidence in this House. However, more importantly, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government said that they are thinking of a way to streamline the Kazi kwa Vijana funds. That is where the problem is.

• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has not answered my clarification. Apart from questioning the high administrative cost at 11 per cent I asked, what was the nature of this administrative cost? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion but with amendment. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to move:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the fullstop at the end of the Motion and inserting the following words; subject to deletion of the words “regions which have traditionally relied on boreholes” appearing on page 29 of the Report and substituting therefor with the words “constituencies which are prone to drought and famine with emphasis on those which have been marginalized in the drilling of boreholes as per the report.” view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the basis in moving this amendment is, at least, to make this report more comprehensive and flowing. As the previous speakers have said, even when regions have been looked at fairly, the disparities within and among constituencies in those regions are alarming. When we say that we drill boreholes in regions which have been relying on boreholes traditionally--- If you have never been given the opportunity to even rely on that borehole traditionally, how do you expect to get the opportunity to even get one borehole? This is because some of the constituencies would have ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: traditionally on boreholes, we are just saying that let us add to those who have them. We are just saying that let us duplicate and give more boreholes to places which have been proven to rely on boreholes. What about those constituencies which would have relied on boreholes but no attempt was made by the Ministry? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to have this report, at least, correspond with what is in the main report and for it to be full, the recommendation on page 29 has to have some shift. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: With that amendment, I would like to call on Mrs. Noor to support it. view
