• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to say a few things on this very important Vote. I wish to thank the Minister for ably presenting his budget to the House. I also recognise the mandate of the Ministry in this aspect. I have made one observation concerning the allocation of resources. I wish to draw the attention of the Minister to the fact that the resources allocated to Kiambu West District are very much inadequate. Kshs942,890 is a small amount of money. Kiambu West District has a very big population, and the level of unemployment is ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware of the deteriorating security around Kimende Township/Kagwe Moi Road that has lately resulted in attack on and robbery of October 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2671 motorists, including during the day; and, (b) what urgent measures he is taking to restore security in the region. view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I commend the Assistant Minister for making an attempt to reply to my Question, there are still some grey areas with regard to this matter. At Kimende Township, a matatu operator by the name Njoroge Kariuki, was murdered and a stone tied to his body and dumped in a dam in Kimende. That was the fourth murder in Kimende Township. There is also a lone gunman, with an AK-47, who has been attacking people in the area. He has robbed people of a lot of money. Even motorists have been affected. It is suspected that ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us whether adequate security measures have been put in place to control the recent murders at Kimende Township? Could he also confirm that, even as we speak now, the Kimende Township/Kagwe Moi Road is not passable because of insecurity? view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to confirm that there is land at Soko Mjinga Market. The Assistant Minister should, therefore, avail funds to enable us put up the AP camp and contain the insecurity that we have witnessed in that area. We also have land at Kagwe. If the money is released tomorrow, we will have security at its maximum. view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank you for granting me this chance. As I support the Vote of the Ministry of Local Government, I wish to make a few observations. First, the local authorities are very important, because they are the vehicles which take development to the people. If you look at the recent past, the local authorities in this land have acquired a very bad name for working hard to attain a very high degree of corruption. This tarnishes the name of the Ministry, and even the name of the country. I would, therefore, request ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: I would, therefore, think that, if a clerk has failed in a certain position, he should be demoted and removed entirely from the administration. My other observation is that certain local authorities continue to allocate non-existent land October 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2701 to innocent Kenyans. You will realise that when they allocate that land, there are certain rates that they are paid. That means that, finally, the allottee would lose the money. So, the local authorities, although they are the trustees, should not allocate non-existent land. The salaries of local authority staff must be reviewed. That is because, at ... view
• 7 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank you for granting me this opportunity; at the same time I thank the Minister for Education for very ably presenting his Vote in the House. I also extend the same remarks to the Permanent Secretary, who is in charge of the Ministry for the manner in which he responded to the crisis that we experienced in our nation. As I support this Vote, I wish to give more attention to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). I would urge the Minister to, maybe, think of allocating more funds to the ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for granting me this opportunity to make some observations on this very important Vote of the Ministry of Lands. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I note that the Ministry made a lot of efforts in raising revenue for the Exchequer. We note that the Ministry was able to raise about Kshs6,150,746,922. This is really commendable to the staff. Without the stigma that was raised in the local media concerning the rate of corruption in the Ministry, it is my contention that the Ministry would have collected more 1996 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 22, 2008 money. The ... view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to pose the same question that has been raised by Mr. C. Kilonzo. I note with some concern that Kshs295 plus Kshs300 million was misappropriated by the Managing Commissioner. I also note that this Commissioner was sacked and he is somewhere. Could the Minister have made an effort or taken action to recover this money, probably hidden somewhere by this sacked Managing Commissioner? view
