• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I need some guidance from the Chair. Do you have some powers that can compel the Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) to allow for registration of voters next year? I happen to have had the letters addressing the issue that the Questioner is talking about, that Mr. Kivuitu is giving us only August to September, 2006, to register as voters, and there will be no other registration exercise next year. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, I started by congratulating the Minister for having brought some sanity in the Ministry of Local Government. However, I had put it across to him that within my own constituency, Kasipul Kabondo, we have Rachuonyo County Council and Oyugis Town Council, which were given very little money. Therefore, it is my humble request that he looks into the provisions for these local authorities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, the Minister gave his own district over Kshs120 million and this year, he has allocated Kshs44 million to his district. So, I humbly request ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Midiwo to call some of us thieves? view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know why the hon. Member keeps on referring to people as thieves and corrupt. Could he substantiate his claims? view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he particularly mentioned the Ministry of Trade and Industry. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say something about the Vote of the Ministry of Local Government. I would like to commend the Minister for having done a fantastic job. Before he took over, the Ministry of Local Government was riddled with a lot of kelele . There were a lot of migomos every now and then, and we used to hear about these things all over. I commend him for that. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very cognizant of the Standing Order that allows me to speak the same language throughout. However, I was commending the Minister for a job well done. However, there are two horrible things in this Vote that I did not expect. The first one touches on Rachuonyo District, where I come from, because it does not appear anywhere in the Vote. I am really shocked that the Minister could leave out the district. Rachuonyo is an up-coming district and we gave the county council vast land to develop. Oyugis Town Council, which is also ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am reading what is written here. Instead of him allocating Kshs44 million to his home district and allocating nothing to my district, he should allocate Kshs10 million to my district and Kshs30 million to Bungoma District. That would be a very fair deal. The Minister is a good friend of mine. Recently, he visited my constituency. He actually visited our town hall. There is a lot to be done in my constituency. The councillors in my area really applauded him during that visit because they expected him to do more. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in any way imputing any improper motive on the Minister. I am just making a passionate appeal, so that he can also consider my district. That is what I am trying to put across. We are pals in this game and as a pal, he should not forget his friend. Generally, the Ministry is lacking supervision right from the headquarters down to the local authorities. The Minister sends out the LATF and LASDAP and then he sits back and does not follow up to see how the money is being spent or ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am here. view
