• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with due respect to my uncle, His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. Is he in order to anticipate debate on a Bill that is to come before the House and yet what we are debating today is completely different? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that the review of constituencies has never been preceded by consultation in the House, when we know that when the Senate was dissolved in the 1960s, before constituencies were introduced for the Senators to become parliamentarians, there was negotiation? view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, access roads in the sugar belt are in a pathetic state. Traditionally, these roads have been maintained by cess money from the county councils. I would like to appeal to the Minister to visit the area or send very serious officers to inspect these roads in order to see what conditions they are in. They are really hurting the transportation of sugar from the fields to the factories. They are in a really pathetic situation. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could I ask the Assistant Minister to explain to this House very briefly why the Ministry cannot adopt the method of design and build to cut down on the long waiting period? At the moment, we design, tender, evaluate and hire. By the time you go to evaluate the tenders, some of the original people who had applied drop off. Then the thing starts all over again. Could we get an assurance from the Assistant Minister that the archaic method of constructing roads and bridges will be abandoned? We should use much more rapid methods of ... view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute to this Motion and congratulate my friend and her team in the Ministry. But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, 1 before I say anything, let me make four concrete recommendations to the Ministry, following what we have been listening to this afternoon in the House. One, we need an extra hospital in Nairobi - an extra provincial or district hospital in Eastlands, somewhere near Dandora. That is where Kenya's population is in Nairobi - in Eastlands! That way, we will not punish those poor and low- income people by forcing them ... view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my fourth point and recommendation, which is very important, is that in order to use NHIF, it must be seen as a source of domestic savings. If that Fund is seen as a source of domestic savings, this idea of getting the so- called "surplus" to invest in those buildings will not arise! Domestic savings, in a healthy economy, should be used for capital formation. If somebody, in his mind, thought that, that was capital formation, but did not do his internal rate of returns well, and we have an economist as the Permanent Secretary ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been listening to this debate since yesterday, and there seems to be a consensus building that there is an increased roads improvement all over the country. I happen to come from Kisumu Rural Constituency, and in order to come to Nairobi by road, I have to drive from Kisumu to Nairobi. If you try to drive from Kisumu to Nakuru, you will be a dead duck because there is no road. In the west of the Rift Valley, there are no roads. If you try to drive from Kisumu to Kakamega and ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it could mean both because when you live, you last and when you last, you live! view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister and the Permanent Secretary not to believe everything in the reports they get; telling them about the roads 2786 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2007 the contractors are constructing. As a Minister, and I know because I have been a Minister, you are very busy and you receive reports from people who appear to be very genuine. However, all that glitters is not always gold. So, this quick recarpeting of roads in the city, in a year's time, I assure you, it will be a completely different story. So, something must be ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: is not rocket science. It is something which we know. This whole long road to procurement process that the World Bank subjects us to is nonsensical. The only thing we need to do is to be transparent and accountable to our people, establish proper institutions in Government and get proper people in places and they can do the work. The World Bank like any other bank is there to make money. However, the manner in which they make money from us does not help our development. So, if they are not making money from us in a way that helps ... view
