• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order with a very heavy heart to seek your guidance. I want to draw your attention to the Constitution of Kenya. The constitutional provision No.25 says that the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution and the Commission on Revenue Allocation shall be constituted within 90 days after the effective date. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, everyone can be drawn to the attention of the zeal with which on the night of 25th when we were to pass the Motion to approve these two Commissions, I ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she could provide a list of bona fide farmers of Bura and Hola Irrigation Schemes, clearly indicating the acreage of land held by each farmer; (b) how many acres of land are under cultivation by the National Irrigation Board and the National Youth Service and also to indicate the number of tonnes of maize harvested by each entity and how the proceeds are utilized; and, (c) when the land under the two entities will revert to the residents. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that the land that is being cultivated by the NIB and the NYS in Bura is Government land. This is ambiguous because the more reason why I asked that land to be redistributed to the residents is because it belongs to the Government. I am not asking for private land to be distributed to the public. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to let the Assistant Minister know, Bura Irrigation farmers were settled in 1970 and between that time and now, you have grown up families which are offshoots of ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has provided the list of the bona fide Bura farmers, but having gone through it, I have close to 100 people who do not have identification card numbers. I do not know whether these are aliens or they are Kenyans, because if they are Kenyans they should have identification card numbers. Further to that, when the Economic Stimulus Programme was being commissioned by the Minister for Agriculture late last year, the number of bona fide farmers was 1,600, as per the Government register. However, today, they have provided names of 2,245 ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister give an overview of the membership of the District Steering Groups (DSGs), specifically for Tana River District and also explain their source of funding, roles and mandate? (b) What are the respective contributions of the Government and the World Food Programme (WFP) in the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO)? Could the Minister also explain their respective mandates in that regard as well as the process of identifying the lead agencies? (c) Could the Minster ... view

• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think I have asked for any documents from Tana River. Those documents were forwarded to the Ministry of State for Special Programmes three months ago. The Minister says that she is surprised that I brought this Question. It is because the Ministry has betrayed the goodwill it had with hon. Members from that region. It has not lived up to our expectations. It has not fulfilled the promises it has made. I agree that we may not be able to ventilate on the Ministerial Statement and I request that if the Question has ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has made critical decisions regarding food distribution in northern Kenya. The Ministry must have made those decisions on the basis of documentation they received from the districts. So, I do not expect the Minister to rely on the documents that I took to her office. That is because the Ministry oversees those departments. I expect that they must have had the documents before I even took them there. view
