• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me conclude my submission. I agree that we will discuss this matter because the Government has also prepared a Bill. I have had this experience before. I prepared the Presidential Retirement Bill, but it was taken over by the Government. I prepared the Privatisation Bill, we discussed it with the Attorney- General and it was also taken over by the Government. I hope that this time round, the Government will let me through by giving me its side of the story and I will present it. So, it is mutually agreed. I hope that ... view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, providing electricity to Kenyans is their right. This is because they pay for it through taxes. So, the Minister is not in order to seduce Kenyans to provide what is their right. Notwithstanding that point, I notice that the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is providing electricity by getting contractors from the private sector. While I am for privatising some of these activities, standards must be maintained so that people are not endangered. Could he explain to this House what steps the Government is taking to ensure that as these contracts are given to the ... view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Rotino has asked a very valid Question. You are aware that at this point in time, Mr. Assistant Minister has some common sense. This nation is suffering a huge shortage of nurses, leave alone other medical personnel. In New Nyanza General Hospital, there is one nurse to 60 patients, which is a terrible ratio. It is in the interest of the Republic of Kenya that a facility that already has buildings and is available should be augmented by the Government to respond to hon. Rotino's concern. I appeal to the Assistant Minister to look into the ... view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I want to add my voice to the Minister of State for Administration and National Security who has said that we need to reassess ourselves. We really need to do that. The first task of the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERSWEC) was precisely to revive stalled projects. 2608 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 3, 2006 It has done so, to some extent. However, it has also not done so, to another extent. The reason why it has not done so is because this Government needs to reassess itself. The ... view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon Minister could have helped this House by telling us how long he was there. Be that as it may, the point still holds that, indeed, all the institutions of this Republic should be used cost-effectively. Indeed, the resources of this nation should be used for the development of this nation. The foundation that we laid in the Government by establishing the ERSWEC should be followed by this Government. However, if you look at what has been happening over the last six or seven months, the attention of the Government has been focused on maintaining power ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank my colleague and dear friend, the Minister for Local Government, for giving me two minutes. I assure him that I will give him five minutes next year, when I will be on the other side. First, I appeal to the Minister to ensure that when the Ministry of Roads and Public Works is building major roads in Kenya, the spur-roads entering the markets are tarmacked. Those are roads which enter the markets. For example, there is a road that is being built from Kisii, Bondo and Usenge. The spur-roads going into Uru, ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this accident occurred in my constituency. I would like to remind the Assistant Minister that in 2003, His Excellency the Vice-President, the Attorney-General, myself and a host of Government Ministers rode on that rail-road from Kisumu to Butere from 9.00 a.m., in the morning to 4.00 p.m., in the evening to open that road. The first time that, that happened was in colonial times. The spirits of the people in that area were awakened. In 2005, a mere matatu hit a locomotive train and the Assistant Minister is telling us that as a result, the locomotive was ... view
