• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion as amended. I have also listened to the contribution by my colleague, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry, who has left. It appears like he has really misunderstood the substance of this Motion. It is simply seeking to remove height as a criteria for recruitment into the Army. It has replaced that quite clearly with physical fitness. If there are any other inadequacies that need to be addressed that are height related, they would be focused onto through the physical fitness. But more importantly, this Motion seeks to buttress the requirement for ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also obvious that in their policy of divide and rule, the colonialists were targeting certain communities requiring them to fill up the army to create separation and stereotype among communities by defining who are eligible for army and who are not. The Kenyan Government should move away from those kinds of discriminative practices. It should open up the army to all eligible Kenyans. It should strive to ensure that there is professionalism not only in the recruitment, but also in the day today running of the armed forces. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me the chance to contribute. I want to begin by supporting the Motion on behalf of this Ministry. I also want to comment, particularly with regard to the proposal for allocating Kshs20 million per constituency to spend on a public health facility. My concern here is that the decision to make this contribution per constituency does not appear to have considered the health needs per constituency. There has not been clear assessment of what would be in the best interests of advancing the health services per constituency. So, this looks like ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: In my constituency, for example, we are asking ourselves where we can get a five acre plot to put up a health facility of this kind. The problem I have is that I cannot get five acre plot anywhere in my constituency. The parcels of land are so small. A five acre view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he could confirm that the public invitation for tender for Ndumberi-Kiawaroga Road construction included a section in Githunguri constituency from Ng’orongo Factory to Githunguri; (b) what considerations influenced the exclusion of that section of the road in Githunguri constituency in the final contract, and substitution thereof with a section from Ng’orongo to Limuru; and, (c) what action he will take to redress the situation or construct the section of the road in Githunguri constituency that was excluded, considering that over 95 per cent of vehicular traffic in Ndumberi-Kiawaroga Road goes to Githunguri Constituency. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer that he has given. However, since he has confirmed that there was an error in the public invitation for tender in the construction of the road to include the section from Githunguri, could he tell this House whether there was a similar error when that road was initially done in 1984? Secondly--- view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said in part (b) of his answer that the section from Ngorongo to Limuru was erroneously omitted from the view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, no. The Assistant Minister has not really responded to one part of my Question. Is it not true that over 95 per cent of traffic from Ngorongo goes towards Githunguri Constituency and not the other road, which only serves about 10 or so big farms in that area? Why did the Ministry, notwithstanding the traffic and the users of the road, decide to construct the road towards the Limuru direction? The money that is being used to repair that road is taxpayers' money from the Fuel Levy Fund. Why should the Ministry commit funds to ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question is very categorical. I have asked the Assistant Minister to confirm why that decision was taken notwithstanding the fact that over 95 per cent of the traffic goes towards the Githunguri direction? Is it in order for him to say that, that was not included in the first part of the Question? view
