• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) We had agreed with the CDFC Parliamentary Committee that, one, we are await the actual population size of the constituencies based on the 2009 Population and Housing census, and secondly, on an updated poverty index based on the welfare monitoring survey scheduled in the next financial year. This decision was prompted by the need to consider movement of the people due to certain events like the 2008 post-election crisis as well as the need to have an accurate and actual poverty index. (b) It has not been valid to compute the amount ... view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kenya Integrated Household Based Survey released in 2008 was actually for 2007 before the post-election crisis. We have agreed with the CDF committee that it would be important to await the results of the census to be released. It will be important to have the poverty index based on the welfare monitoring so that we can revise the allocations. We think we should be able to do it in the next financial year. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason for the delay was that we decided to put entirely the 12 million forms that were availed for census so that we can have an accurate view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what was to be released was the preliminary census data and not the actual data. We have had to actually input all the 12 million forms so that we do not have duplication or errors in order to have a complete census, so that if anybody wants to check on the methodology, he is in a position to do it. It has taken time but we are on schedule and we have set it in the Ministry for release in late August. view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the sake of my friend, the Member for North Horr, last year’s census was the first one to include household integrated census which means by the time we release the actual population census, we will also be able to release the household integrated census. When we add with the welfare monitoring survey for poverty index, we will have perfect and better statistics for Kenya. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to say a few words. First of all, let me thank my colleagues who are in the Parliamentary Select Committee and in the Committee of Experts for what I would call a very good job. I appreciate that Constitution-making is not easy and that we will never have a perfect Constitution at any one time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am worried that after 20 years of seeking for a Constitution and getting to where we have gotten today, chances are that we might not even be ... view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for not having been present when this Question was asked. Thank you for giving us this opportunity because this is an important Question that affects most Members of Parliament. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Nyatike District does not have a DDO. The District is currently being served by the DDO for Migori District as part of the grouping of districts to facilitate service delivery in the short run. (b) The Public Service Commission (PSC) is currently in the process of advertising the filling of 219 vacant positions countrywide. We hope that by July, 2010 we will deploy DDOs to all the districts including Nyatike. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of DDOs arose because districts were created in a faster manner than the number of DDOs who were available. Again, there was an embargo on employment in the Civil Service. We only got the clearance towards the end of last year. So, we hope that by July, 2010, Nyatike District will not rely on the services of the DDO in Migori because it will have its own. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is in the process of putting up resource centres for all DDOs in the country through a fund provided by African Development Bank (ADB). We expect that in the next financial year, we should be able to tackle, at least, 100 constituencies in terms of building offices for the DDOs. We will build the rest in the next financial year. view
