• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am really disturbed that at the time we are going for elections, Kenyans have to undergo a rigorous process of obtaining an identity card. There are several inconsistencies in the answer given by the Minister. In fact, I shared it with him off this House. Allow me to table this document in respect of Sugow Aden Godana which he says is the person who was re-applying for a lost identity card. He says that they have sent the file back because they were unable to trace his earlier registration. I made a call just a few ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In that light, I would like to ask whether the Minister is comfortable with the answer that he has given to this House that it is the accurate information. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is not an automatic SMS answer. I called the individuals at the customer service. I talked to some individuals who logged onto their computers. So, it is not about an SMS or a malfunction of a system. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, allow me to table a second document. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is of Ruth Mwamburi who has just been admitted to Kenyatta University from my constituency. Accompanied with a letter from the university, she applied for an identity card because she cannot even access the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) to pursue her education. The form was registered at the headquarters on 1st August, 2011. It is now more than 100 days since she applied yet the Minister says it takes 38 days to obtain an identity card in ASAL areas. This student cannot access HELB to pursue a career because she does not have an identity ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In the light of the inaccuracies that are appearing in the Minister’s answer on the days that it would take a Kenyan to obtain an identity card and the fact that there is so much disconnect in his answers, could he undertake to ensure that all these persons get their identity documents in the next 14 days? I would request that you defer the Question so that the Minister can come and give a proper answer to this House, with your indulgence. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With your indulgence, the documents that have been laid on the Table by the Assistant Minister allege that the disbursements of the monies that were reallocated within the Ministry totalled Kshs203 million. The Assistant Minister said that the Treasury and the Ministry of Education had agreed that the Ministry makes a reallocation of over Kshs1 billion. So, where has the Kshs800 million gone because the Assistant Minister has tabled a record showing Kshs200 million? Secondly, with your indulgence, the Ministry said that it would communicate to head teachers so that they do not send ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House when it was none other than the Prime Minister who clearly stated that fees would be waived? So, when the Prime Minister said that school fees would be waived, did that mean that there were subsidies? Where was the rest going to come from? Why is the Assistant Minister misleading the House? view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is clear that the Assistant Minister is not ready to answer this question. I had brought to your attention the fact that we raised it through a Ministerial Statement three weeks ago. The commitment from the Government then was that they would issue directives to head teachers not to send away students, something they have not done. The information he has given is scanty. At times he says that this is a subsidy while at times he says that it is a waiver. Can you direct that this question comes ... view
