• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member on the Floor is misleading the House. "Busybody" means someone whose presence is not relevant. It is somebody who invites himself, but who unduly interferes. It is actually unparliamentary. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he could state the amount of money allocated per month to fuel police vehicles in Githunguri Police Station; (b) whether he could explain why the residents of Githunguri are denied important services by the police unless they contribute towards fuelling of the police vehicles; and, 1372 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 (c) what steps the Government is taking to remedy the above situation and to ensure that police vehicles are provided with sufficient fuel at all times. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told this House that the police have been allocated Kshs20,000. That translates, in terms of litres, to about 200 litres per month and, per day, it comes to less than six litres per day. Considering that a police station has only one vehicle per day and it is supposed to operate for 24 hours, is that fuel adequate? If it is not adequate, is it not actually inviting the police to solicit for fuel from members of the public as they seek for their services? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House by saying that, actually, that fuel is being availed to the police station? Does he have anything to show to this House to prove that, actually, that fuel reaches the police station? The information I have on the ground is that there is actually no fuel that is reaching Githunguri and, specifically, in one police station in Kibichoi, where the lady Officer Commanding Station (OCS) does not even receive a litre of fuel for that police station! view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister appreciates that local police stations do not have adequate fuel. The question of security is very paramount as far as the lives of the people on the ground are concerned. It is also true that when the police flush out criminals in Nairobi, they go to the neighbourhoods like Githunguri. There have been a lot of hardships there. So, could the Assistant Minister assure us that what he is going to allocate will reach the police station? Does he have a mechanism because the money actually gets lost on the way ... view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Budget Speech. I wish first to appreciate the bold suggestion brought out by the Minister and his team in this Budget. This is about restoring economic growth and achieving the targets set out within the Vision 2030. We have seen the various bold suggestions across various themes that the Minister has come forward with. We are sure that if these kind of efforts are sustained, the country will certainly recover from where it was. But there are certain aspects of the proposals that possibly would ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support that Motion of Adjournment. Much as I would agree with the Minister that the Bill is simply a guarantee, it is also a matter of fact that the amount of money involved is quite colossal. It is only fair that it is discussed when majority of hon. Members are present. I am supporting the Motion to adjourn this debate to another day when all hon. Members are in the House. view
• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. In view of the imminent world food crisis projected by the World Food Programme, what urgent measures is the Government putting in place to avert hunger and ensure food access by all, throughout the crisis period? view
• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the measures that the Assistant Minister has stated have only addressed the question of food security partially. All over the country, Kenyans, particularly those living in urban centres, are being faced with a situation where food prices increase by the day and they are unable to access food. However, he has not mentioned anything that the Government is doing to address the question of the cost of food commodities, particularly the inflation aspect. It is because of high inflation that our people cannot access food. What is the Government doing to 824 address the question of inflation ... view
• 6 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister has not responded to the question of what the Government will do to address the issue of high prices of food and ensure that it is accessible to Kenyans. The price of food all over Kenya has gone up. So, what will the Government do about that issue? view
