• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the money has not been released because the Treasury has not released the money to the Ministry of Education. We, at the Ministry, have already prepared the schedules for disbursing the money. We are only waiting for that money to come to us, so that we can disburse it to schools. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know when the Treasury will release the money. My colleagues here know the problems that we always have with the Treasury when it comes to release of money. It is always held back. My Ministry has always been frustrated in having it released by the Treasury. Sometimes we are promised, but it does not come. It should have been in schools by May, but to-date, we are still waiting for it to be released. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that motor vehicle registration No.GKA 410V, Suzuki Jimmy, which was attached to the Njoro DEO, was involved in a road accident on 28th November, 2010, near Kimende Shopping and was extensively damaged beyond repair. (b) The Ministry is liaising with the Treasury with a view to getting more funds to procure additional vehicles for County Education Directors and DEOs who have no vehicles. The DEO, Njoro, will be considered alongside others when funds become available and more vehicles are procured. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I commit and promise here that if I get the money, I will buy a vehicle for the Njoro District Education Officer (DEO). My problem is lack of money from the Treasury. At the moment, several DEOs and county directors have no vehicles to use. So, when money is availed do me, the DEO for Njoro will be given the first priority. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not check how much money for vehicles was factored in this financial. So, I do not have an immediate answer for that particular question. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of adequate funding to my Ministry is a perennial problem and it means Parliament knows. We always request for money but we do not get enough from the Treasury. The budget that we make and everything else passes through this Parliament. So, what I can tell the Parliament is that if I get the money, I will do the needful. That is all I can say. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I know, our county directors have their salaries. That is taken care of and I hope all of us know that the budget passed through this House denoted many things that relate to the devolved system. I hope you all know that. Some of those probably may come in the budget of the next Parliament. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had handled this Question sometime back but a few issues were raised which I had to address. One, the House wanted to know the status of the project across the country and also what the Ministry was going to do about the supplier to Gendia. (a) First, all the schools that were to be beneficiaries of the project received the computers, except for three schools. The project was accomplished except for Marii Girls Secondary School which has not received its computers up to today. That is because of the same supplier, M/s Bell Atlantic Communications. ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the situation. I am happy to note from hon. Kiuna that my officer is a hardworking officer but the only unfortunate thing is that she is not facilitated with transport. But I will do my best. Immediately I get the first set of vehicles, the DEO Njoro will get the first vehicle. view
