• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank hon. Ethuro for that clarification. What we were asking for is that the allocations to the districts be varied to take the effect of the expansive nature of ASAL districts so that they are issued with more funds even on the onset. On that note that they might be given equal funds across the board, I am a bit worried that people in ASAL areas would maximally benefit from this exercise. In that regard, would I request the Prime Minister to put a direct order to the Minister for the formation of ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Prime Minister might not have gotten the point Mr. Ruto and I were putting across. Currently, as things stand, districts do not have committees which are mandated with issues of registration. The same question that I asked on whether he can direct the Minister in charge to see to it that districts form district registration committees was the same one that Mr. Ruto was following on and tried to suggest what type of view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is well known that the medical personnel posted to far-flung areas of this country like North Eastern, Turkana and Tana River, leave and are transferred to other areas with better conditions. What guidelines has the Ministry put in place, similar to those by the Ministry of Education, such that medical personnel, once posted to these areas, should not leave until after five years? view

• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the questions that Mr. Ethuro and I asked are more specific. Hardship allowance is usually given to all officers who are serving in respective areas in whichever Ministry. What we are asking is what regulations have they laid out as a Ministry, that can be enforced, like what the Ministry of Education has done where they compel teachers, once employed in hardship areas, not to leave and it is mandatory for them to stay? That is what we asked. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if a chief in a location gives information that someone has died because of hunger, what other alternative source of information is the Government relying on, apart from its own chief, so as to deny the same? view

• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that a whole chief, whom the Government must have vetted well, and considered that he is someone who can look after a whole flock, would be unable to know that someone has died of hunger? Hunger is something that is so basic that a chief would know who among his subjects have not had food for the last five to 15 days. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose the amendment and say that it is a constitutional right for anybody to associate with others at any time. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be well understood that hon. Eseli could still have made such contribution in the House. The freedom to associate cannot be capped in time. You cannot set a time limit within which you can associate with a political party, or within which a second political party should not be deemed to associate with another political party. People are raising fears that pre-election coalitions are a recipe for people to fight, or that they will be avenues for people to gang up against one another for purposes of general elections. It could happen that ... view
