• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Member can ask his question again and then I answer. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will need to verify that. I know we have a Fisheries Officer who is an Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) holder in Machakos District. Basically, Government funds are channelled to the AIE holders. That is why that money was sent there. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was trying to answer that question. Normally, we post money to the AIE holder in the district. Currently, we have a Fisheries Officer in Machakos District, but we do not have one in Kitui. Secondly, the officers that the hon. Member is calling fisheries officers are basically technical officers that we send to constituencies to help in ponds construction. In the Economic Stimulus Programme, we needed to construct ponds. So, there is a big difference between a fisheries technical officer and a fisheries officer, who is basically a District Fisheries Officer. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have said earlier, we rolled out this programme in 140 constituencies as the first phase, but we will include other areas as we continue in the next financial year. That is the money that we had got for the Financial Year 2009/2010. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the duty of my Ministry to make sure that we bring services closer to the people. But as I said earlier, we have a serious problem with manpower shortage. We could be having offices, but we do not have qualified officers. My Ministry is already working in collaboration with the Ministry of State for Public Service to recruit qualified personnel to be able to carry out our mandate. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will need to verify that because the information that I have is that we have an AIE holder in Machakos. If you have an AIE holder 13 Wednesday, 7th April, 2010(A) very far away from where you are implementing the programme, then it becomes a problem. If the hon. Member is given factual information, I have no reason to dispute that. I just need to verify. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just today. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I reply, I want to apologize that I was out of the House and Town and my Assistant Minister who should have been around, unfortunately, had some emergency. He is yet to tell me what kind of emergency he had that made him not come to the House to answer this Question. So, I apologize on behalf of the Ministry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, meanwhile, I also want to bring to your attention the fact that I had answered this Question to the best of my knowledge last week. Other than just the laboratory results that I ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, 15 copies were sent and the hon. Member seems to have gotten a copy. view
