• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak now a good number of candidates have registered. However, should there be a problem by 30th June, the issue will be reviewed by the Ministry. view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry was not able to supply food in January, 2010, to schools in Nairimirimo Location, Samburu East District due to transport problems.

Nevertheless, the schools had extra food from last term’s ration and, therefore, the feeding programme had not stalled as claimed by the hon. Member. (b) All the eight primary schools in the location have received food with facilitation from the Government transport. view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member tells me that councillors told him that food had not been delivered to the schools.

• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that problem because these transporters are paid. The problem we had in Samburu East District was not because of non-payment of the transporters. It was because a new district was created and the District Education Officer (DEO) had not been informed. As you know, it is the DEO that contracts the transporters.

So that is one of the problems that we have ... view

• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question came to us this morning. I have promised the Member concerned to deliver a good answer on Tuesday, next week. If the Chair, so allows. view
