• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Minister for the last assurance that these youth will be paid after close to a year and a half. However, having filed this Question for the first time in March 2011 and it is now almost seven months down the line, why has it taken the Ministry so long to investigate the case to conclusion so that they are able to pay these people? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Minister for, at least, finally assuring me that these youths will be paid. It has been an agonizing one year and a half for the youths who have been waiting for payment for work they have done well. Since he has now promised that before the end of the month they should expect their dues – we expect the KKV programme to continue – have they, as a Ministry, tried to seal the loopholes that have been created by this system to ensure that such things do not happen again? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Question appeared on the Order Paper last week. With the indulgence of the Chair, we sought that the information that had been bulked together was very hard for hon. Members to interrogate. For instance, in Coast Province, we have been lumped together with Tana River, Kilifi, Kwale and Taita Taveta, and the Ministry has given the interventions taken in Coast as a region. So, it becomes hard for us to follow. This will be to the help of the Minister because sometimes they disburse money which is misappropriated or misapplied to the different zones that ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is on the same. I want to say that the Question to be deferred by the Chair then was on three aspects. One was that the hon. Members had requested that they be given a breakdown as per the constituency of the specific interventions. Secondly, since the document was so bulky, we were unable to interrogate it; the answer was supplied when the Question was being asked. Thirdly, we also asked for a progress report of the specific interventions that were done. Since the Minister has just given the answer, ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to confirm hon. Bahari’s statements. Indeed, the only people who spoke to this matter were hon. Bahari and I. Having sensed the inadequacy of the answer, the Speaker then sent the Assistant Minister to go and prepare adequately, so that he could come and give this House a convincing answer. So, is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that the Question was dealt with? view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources:- (a) whether he could confirm that all the companies undertaking Gypsum mining in Bura Constituency are contravening mining laws; (b) whether he could also confirm that all communities in Bura were to be involved and consulted when allowing the companies to resume operations and, if so, why the companies were allowed to resume operations without such consultation; and, (c) how many companies have now been cleared to resume mining and whether he could table the letters ordering the stoppage of mining activities by the companies as well as the letters lifting the ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This question is not appearing on the Order Paper for the first time. This Question was listed on the Order Paper in early November and was deferred for two weeks because the Minister was unable to give a satisfactory answer. Later on, it was deferred for two other weeks because some information was not available. So, I am wondering; how long does it take a Minister to put together a credible answer because we already have gone one month after this Question was listed on the Order Paper and six months ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was in my constituency as late as last weekend. Besides, the information that the Assistant Minister is purporting to have been awaiting is information which they said was within their domain. It was even in the precincts of their offices. The Assistant Minister said that they reopened these companies on the basis of a report by NEMA and they ought to have this report. They opened with a consent from the public and they out to have this consent. So, which is this vague information that they want from the ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Any hon. Member or Minister should be responsible for the facts that they give to this House. In his own admission, the Assistant Minister says that this answer was prepared in August. So, is the information about compensations done in August--- In his own admission he said that he has some information from the headquarters that some compensation was done as late as this month. Would I be in order to ask that the Assistant Minister goes back and gives us an up to date answer that complies with the time? view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the tribulations that our people face in Tana River and many other places, which are crocodile infested, are real. Compensation is usually channelled down to the recipient; it is a laborious process and the time it takes for someone to lodge a compensation claim is long. Sometimes it takes ages before a person receives compensation. What is this Ministry doing to ensure that they devolve some funds to some of these hotspots, so that you have a district cash fund that can provide compensations? These forms do not have to be sent to the headquarters, where ... view
