• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the importance of private sector development in agriculture through harnessing water resources as we have seen in River Yala by the Dominion Group of Companies, what plans does the Ministry have to mobilise private sector resources in River Nyando, so that the amount of money that the Government has sunk in River Nyando Basin can pay back through the stimulation of the private sector resource mobilisation? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that the land owners cannot be stimulated to mobilise their resources to use the waters of River Nyando? It is important for the Assistant Minister to understand that those land owners were in the private sector. The Government should help them to stimulate their resources. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee (PIC), we recognised that these land owners were in the private sector. What steps is the Assistant Minister taking? Is he in order to say that these land owners are not in the private sector and yet the Government has nothing to do with them? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion very strongly. First, I would like to commend my friend, Dr. Kibuguchy who said that in order to eradicate poverty, we must invest in agriculture. We shall not eradicate poverty if we do not invest in that sector because that is where the majority of the poor people are. Secondly, Dr. Kibuguchy said that he does not understand why we record a very high economic growth rate of 5.8 per cent, and yet poverty is rampant and the income of the rural folks does not increase. There has been a phenomenon ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: This is what Mr. Jaindi Kisero is saying in his article published in today's Daily Nation . We need the big ideas that were in the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation to be implemented. If those big ideas are not implemented, we will continue to bring the Sargasyans and Margaryans into this country to protect the Government, but nothing will happen. More and more people will be poor and the economic growth rate will be determined by a few people, while the majority of Kenyans will continue being poor. That is why I strongly support this Motion. ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: What management skills do you want? Here I am in Nairobi with only one wife and I find it difficult to manage her, but that fellow has two wives, two dairy cows, children going to school and a posho mill. Yet you say that he is not a manager. When you make such a fellow the chairman of the CDF, he will do a fantastic job because he knows what income and expenditure is. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Minister stands there and says that we need to build capacity, he does not know what he is talking ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: This idea of reasoning like that Minister, that we should only save then the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank will be efficient is wrong. Efficiency is not eaten when there is hunger. We only eat food when there is hunger. We can only eat food if we invest in agriculture. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now if you look at the accounts of the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank, you will find that they are lending to the Government. Otherwise where is that money? They cannot just take money and put it in a drawer. The money is given ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, granted that the Government has decided that the Government Spokesman should be inspecting its projects, and apparently Kisumu is the first one, could the Assistant Minister give us a programme to show when the Government Spokesman will inspect the other projects in the Republic, to be fair to the rest of Kenyans? Could June 13, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1265 he also tell us how much it will cost the nation? view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that they have not paid 175 doctors because they have not provided the right documents when those documents should be with the Ministry when the doctors are being employed? view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been a Minister in the Government and I know exactly how civil servants are hired and fired. You cannot have a civil servant serving for five months when you do not know how you hired him; his name or pin number. Five months later, you are asking for that information from the same person whose services you secured five months ago. This particular Assistant Minister is inefficient! view
