• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think wearing the hat as the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, I would also wish to contribute to this very important Motion. From the outset, I would like to say that while we support this Motion, how we wish the Minister would up his skills on issues in departments within which he commands! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of all Members so that they have ample time to contribute, I would want to stick to three issues. One is KEMSA. While we decry the underfunding that is ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support this Vote, I wish the Minister well in a Ministry that has so much controversy. We ask for food sufficiency and more production and when prices fall, maybe due to increased production, we still complain that the prices are low. So, a delicate balance is required. It is our right to cry to the Ministry and we expect more to be done every other time. I want to highlight two issues. Just like my colleagues have said, there are a myriad of Government Departments and Ministries dealing with food security. ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. For the benefit of many Members who want to contribute, I will be very brief. I will not even consume my five minutes. Condemnation and commendation always go together. When condemnation comes, it is not because the police or the Provincial Administration is hated by hon. Members. When condemnations are due and given, it is not that everything is well and going on smoothly. I know that the police have come from far, since the years I was in school. I was a young boy then and now, I am an old man. There ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am seeing so much anxiety. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, Waziri Msaidizi amekiri kwamba shida ya usajili iko katika sehemu kame ambazo zina tarafa pana sana. Sababu ya watu kutosajiliwa ni kwamba Wizara yake hupeana fedha chache ambazo zinatumika kununua mafuta ya magari. Katika sehemu kame kuna Vetting Committees na vitambulisho haviwezi kutolewa hadi kikao kama hicho kifanyike. Je, Wizara hii ina mikakati gani kuhakikisha kwamba kuna fedha za kutosha za kununua mafuta ya kuweka kwenye magari ili watu wengi wapate kusajiliwa? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika. Waziri Msaidizi anaifahamu vyema sheria ya hazina ya CDF. Je, analiambia Bunge hili ukweli ilhali anajua sheria haikubali pesa za hazina ya CDF kutumiwa kununua mafuta ya magari yanayotumika katika shughuli za kusajili watu? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since this Motion has generated a lot of interest and I see that we are running short of time, would I be in order to request that hon. Members be limited to five minutes so that all of us can have time to contribute? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a proponent of cutting short the speeches I would want to take a very short time. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to agree that maybe cattle rustling is multipronged. There are several aspects leading to why cattle rustling should appear. Culture has been cited, but I want to say that this is now becoming minimal. If anything, if someone would have to go and raid his neighbour because of culture, you are not going to raid a neighbourly and friendly society or community that you co-exist with, you always go and raid a community that you think you have issues to settle with and you have some animosity. These animosities are usually brought ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands, you will see the neglect in the budget line that they are giving us. This was just to appease us and a public relations exercise to show that they had given us a Ministry to take care of northern Kenya. If the Ministry is not well funded, how will it take care of cattle-rustling, water shortages and the wanton education negligence in this area? People are said to go for cattle rustling because that is the only “education sector” they try to be in. If the only ... view
