• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry is going to take appropriate action to ensure that Gendia gets its computers and also the contractor goes to books. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am assuring him that we will ensure that we recover the funds. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the schools are constituency based. If you got the number right it is 210 schools, which means one school per constituency and the selection was based on the information that the Ministry got from the District Education Boards, where hon. Members also sit. But unfortunately for this Parliament, this selection was done during the last Parliament because it was a project of 2005/2006. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I know, unless in a case like this one, the schools bought computers, installed them and they are functional. The project did very well! view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this project was to be implemented, Kenya was not yet divided into counties.

If at all the Member’s constituency missed out, that is an issue which we can follow up. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, we have instructed our officers to go around the country to ascertain the condition of the project which was implemented that time. That is going to be done as the Member wants us to do. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distribution of the equipment was constituency-based, but the decision on which schools were to be given was to be handled by the DEBs. Probably, the two constituencies were running under one DEB. But if the Member did not present his case in the same DEB, then that is how he lost out in his DEB. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. May I ask the Member to repeat the question that he wants me to answer? view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am actually in order because no Member had requested for the actual time when I shall bring the report. But now that the Member has put it forward, please, give me two months. view
