• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question is coming a bit late, but this contract was awarded, I think, almost a year ago. I understand that it is the policy of the Ministry that a contractor is given the job, but all the utilities like poles, wires and all those things are provided by the KPLC. Why does it take them so long to provide these things, so that when contracts are given they can be done in the shortest time possible? 12 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2007 view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it seems that the delay has been caused in procurement and the war amongst those who tender for procurement. As a Ministry, what are you doing to make sure that you minimise these complaints that come from people who have won and those who should have won, so that you do not delay our projects?

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: , asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) when the Government will tender for the construction to bitumen standard of Road C19 from Kendu-Bay to Mbita; and, (b) what has caused the delay in starting the project which has been in the Annual Estimates since 2003. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, the Minister has admitted that there is no definitive scientific evidence to prove that the closed season boosts fish stocks or view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: stocks. However, the Ministry called the fishermen to a meeting at Tom Mboya College three years ago and convinced them that if there is a closure for three months, then Omena stocks would increase. That is why I asked this Question. So, if there is no scientific evidence to prove that the closure of the fishing of Omena will boost the stocks, why did they advise the ignorant fishermen that the closure of the lake is to their benefit when they know that there is no benefit accruing from it? view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir, the answer that has been given is a bit contradictory. In his answer, the Minister said that the lake needs time to recover and regenerate the view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: . At the same time, he said that there is no scientific evidence that shows that there is a boost when there is this restriction. Secondly, we share the lake with Uganda and Tanzania and view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: moves from one part of the lake to the other. Could the Minister give us an undertaking that, unless the entire East African Community agrees to ban fishing of Omena, we should be allowed to fish because the restriction is discriminative against the Luo people around the lake? view
• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I heard the Minister correctly, he has said that roads, especially Class "C" onwards, should actually be tarmacked. Is he aware that we have been waiting for Road C19; Kendu Bay-Mbita-Sindo Road, to be tarmacked for the last 40 years and it has never been tarmacked? view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Youth Affairs:- (a) if he could enumerate all the financial intermediaries that were appointed by the Government to disburse the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) in Kenya; (b) if he is aware that Western, Rift Valley and Coast Provinces and large parts of Nyanza Province have no such intermediaries; and, (c) how the youth groups and individuals from the excluded areas are supposed to access the Fund.
