• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also take the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Let me start by thanking the Minister for his dedication and the way he has brought Bills to this House. You realize that this morning we had reports showing that our Government has lost a lot of money in certain Ministries. Therefore, creation of this audit office and the Controller of Budget will stem some of the problems that have already affected management of our institutions. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you recall well that the Ministry of Education has lost Kshs4.2 billion through misappropriation or embezzlement. This is going to affect learning in our schools and also the quality of education in our schools. This is a development that we cannot allow to continue in this country. This has also made crucial donors to the education sector lose confidence in the management of our institutions. Creation of the audit office with effective and efficient management will rekindle the lost confidence. We should be calling for constant accountability and transparency in our institutions. We should also be ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also very important that the image of this nation, which is tainted by senior Government officials, is redeemed. Open vetting of senior Government officials is very important, because it allows public participation. Students in our secondary schools, universities and at all other levels are able to witness how we appoint our senior officers. Even members of the public should be able to see how we give these senior appointments to our people. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I kindly support this Bill. view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while appreciating the good answer given by the Assistant Minister to this Question, could he indicate to this House when they are likely to start such an industrial estate in Lari Constituency? This is because he has given that impression in this House. view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity to request the Assistant Minister to indicate to this House the measures the Ministry has put in place to establish an industrial estate in Lari Constituency in particular because that impression has come out. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, emanating from the answer given by the Minister, we note that a Fund Manager was posted to North Horr but he declined the posting. What disciplinary action has the Minister taken against that indisciplined Fund Manager? view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I thank the Assistant Minister for the humanitarian assistance he has extended to this family, could the Government consider increasing the level of assistance? A whole Government giving Kshs20,000 to a family that is totally aggrieved--- The child is dead, the mother is suffering as a result of burns and the husband is being tracked. Could the Government consider enhancing that allocation to something better because things are very expensive today? view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the extension of time by three months. Let me indicate that recently we have seen some deaths of IDPs in the camps and this should not happen. The IDPs, either integrated or otherwise are today not enjoying the fruits of freedom and independence of this country. Therefore, the resettlement of the IDPs is tantamount to ending their alienation. The sooner we do it the better for this segment of our society. In conclusion, we have seen that these people are staying in very dilapidated and worn out tents. They are not ... view
• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for the good answer that he has given. However, could he, in addition, inform this House the clear steps that the Ministry is taking against the contractors who have continued to execute shoddy works on our roads after collecting colossal amounts of money from the Kenyan taxpayer? view
