• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the secessionist ideology, it is in our memory that the forefathers of this country and freedom fighters made huge sacrifices to liberate this country from the yokes of the colonialists and imperialists. Therefore, it is important that we support the position taken by the President, that all of us must be united to make sure that this country is peaceful and prosperous. It is, therefore, the responsibility of every citizen of this country to make sure that this country continues to remain one nation with one flag, national anthem and people. This should be the ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I noted that the President was very much concerned with the plight of the IDPs and, therefore, the Government has set aside Kshs2.9 billion to resettle them. It is, therefore, imperative that the implementing agent must utilize these resources to the benefit of the people who were affected. In Lari Constituency, we have IDPs at Kamae, Magina and Uplands. The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has not paid any special attention to make sure that these people are also settled. This settlement must be a national exercise and no discrimination should be noted. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also note that the President did not mention anything concerning the destruction of forests. We noted recently that this country was affected by very serious drought. However, we continue to see logging of forests in this country. That must be addressed and the relevant bodies take immediate action. We also note that there is poaching of elephants in this country. Efforts must be made to control this.

These funds have already transformed the lives of Kenyans and we as Members of Parliament have started viable and critical projects in our constituencies.

• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was on the point of fertilizer. This is the planting season and the same fertilizer that is supposed to be released to the market at Kshs2,300 is selling at Kshs3,500. The poor Kenyan farmer cannot afford to buy this fertilizer. Therefore, the farming community will continue to be view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very disheartening that a contractor was given a job to do and he failed to execute the contract. Could the Assistant Minister inform this House what deterrent action he has taken against the contractor? view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I commend the Prime Minister for the Statement that he has issued, I would urge him to inform the House what the Government is doing on those dispensaries that have been constructed in various constituencies using CDF funds. They have no nurses, staff and medicines. If action is not taken, those projects will become “white elephants”. view
