• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services:- (a) if he could table the audited accounts of the National Fund for the Disabled for the last three years; and, (b) how many disabled people or groups have benefited from the fund in Nyeri Town Constituency for the same period. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask my question, I would like to inform the House, with a lot of respect for the Chair, that the Chair is an interested party in this issue. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans have seen what the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has done in this country. Unfortunately, every minute you open a newspaper, you see a story of someone complaining about the CDF. These are nothing but teething problems. We should allow the introduction of the Bill to be able to harmonise the operations of the CDF, so that people can make their contribution. Kenyans at large will be able to supervise the sweat of their labour. 2364 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July ... view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads and Public Works the following Question by Private Notice. (a) When was the contract for the construction of Sagana-Marua Road awarded and to which firm? (b) How much of the road works has been done? (c) Is the damages clause being applied in accordance with the terms of the contract if the contract period has expired? (d) If the answer to part "c" is in the affirmative, how much damages have been levied to date? view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has attempted to answer this Question to the best of his ability. I use this road quite often while going home. The Assistant Minister is telling us that the Ministry will double the current cost. Bearing in mind that the earlier cost was based on seven years price and that the increased contract price is for 15 years, is this adjustment relevant to the construction task? view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is trying his level best. Considering the fact that, that contractor has done 17 kilometres for the last three years, based on the original contract cost, it appears as if he is only doing 5.7 kilometres per year. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how many years that contractor will take to reach Marua after the variations are done? view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister should take this matter seriously. When talking about the deplorable state of roads in Eastleigh area, we should not forget the roads in Makadara, Bahati, Ziwani, South C and South B estates. Whenever there is fire outbreak in Eastleigh area, or some other form of emergency, the police cannot access the scene because the roads are impassable. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that the public is well looked after and that roads in the said areas are reconstructed as soon as possible? view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since power is a rare commodity in Kenya, what is the Ministry doing to liberalise that sector entirely? view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This matter is grave. As I speak here, somebody from my constituency is in King'ong'o Prison serving a civil jail sentence because United Insurance Company collapsed and yet he had insured his vehicle with it. What has the Assistant Minister done to ensure that the beneficiaries access that money as quickly as possible to avoid them being committed to civil jail? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. This Motion comes in at a time when Kenyans are looking at alternative ways of investing. This is evident from the rush which was there for the KenGen shares offer. It is quite unfortunate that the Government has cautioned this House not to support this very important Motion. The Government is unable to control many organisations in this country. That is why the Uchumi chain of supermarkets went under only for Kenyans to lose millions of shillings. I do not understand why the Government ... view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter. Kenyans continue to lose their lives due to the state of our roads, despite the fact that they pay taxes. Could June 8, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1237 the Assistant Minister tell us what he is doing to complete the stalled projects around the country, including Sagana-Maua Road, which stalled due to the inability of the Government to pay the contractor? view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute on the Presidential Speech. Whilst appreciating the growth of all the sectors of our economy as outlined in the Speech, I still strongly feel that there are areas where the Government needs to put more effort. Last year, we were told in this House that we have 15,000 Kenyan students in Uganda pursuing A-Level education. I do not see the reason why the Government cannot reconsider our 8-4-4 system of education. The increasing number of students going to Uganda to pursue A-Level education is a clear ... view
