• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is a small mishap which I will get to know and clear. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will look at that. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you allow me; I have some information that explains what I was not sure about. Garba-Tulla District is a new district which was created in 2007 and was a division in the former larger Isiolo District. It has three divisions namely, Garba-Tulla, Sericho and Kina. All the registration activities used to be conducted by the District Registrar, Isiolo. There is a possibility that some of the Garba-Tulla District residents were registered elsewhere within the larger Isiolo District. So, I will look at the details and then I come with a more comprehensive answer. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as early as Tuesday, the Minister will be here to give the answer. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an urgent matter and I will inform the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to be in the House on Tuesday, next week. I think you will give the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance time to consult. I also think there is something about the Governor and the board. He will touch on the two issues in the Ministerial Statement. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the Questioner would like the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance here personally. I am sure he would like an in-depth statement on this matter which will dispel any fears that something may not go right. I am not so sure that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will be in Nairobi tomorrow. I think this is a matter that he should deal with personally. He will satisfy all parties that it has been dealt with in-depth and the earliest opportunity after tomorrow is Tuesday. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a matter that requires some quick investigation just to know the status of the safety of our staff in Libya. It is a matter that has got everybody by surprise, both internationally and here at home. I am sure the Minister is seized of the matter. I think there should, at least, be some preliminary statement tomorrow even as we continue to investigate this matter so that Kenyans can know that our people are safe. On the matter of mercenaries, it is a more in-depth matter. The Minister will confirm when he will bring ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question was largely answered last time. However, I think the issue that remained to be dealt with was whether we could consult with the Ministry of Education, so that we could defer the requirements for the birth certificates for registration of Standard One pupils and also Form Four candidates. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not advisable to do that because the reason why we asked the Ministry of Education to help us in this regard was to encourage all Kenyans to register all births. The Ministry of Education has agreed because they also have ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have no intentions, whatsoever of suspending registration of births because it is compulsory. It is in the law. You must register your child and attain a certificate so that when it is required, you produce it. This is not something that we have created. Birth registration is compulsory and there is a penalty for failing to register your child. However, since it was not in our culture and people did not see the need for birth certificates, they would go for identity cards. They did not go for birth certificates. Right now, we require all ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a new thing. Last year, there was pressure and headmasters completed those forms and took them to our offices. They were then issued with birth certificates. We are doing that because we know that there are areas that are very expansive and people travel long distances to get birth certificates. We do not want people to suffer. We can use the schools as our centers of registration and Assistant Chiefs to sign each and every one of those forms to confirm that the child was born there. Our officers will use that information ... view
