This means that there will be a prolonged drought next year. What contingencies is the Ministry putting in place? This early warning has been given. What measures is the Ministry putting in place to prepare for this, so that next time, we do not say that we will have some additional funds in the Budget to cater for this.

• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Assistant Minister to be very sincere. If he goes to the Office of the President right now, he will get a long queue of assistant chiefs and chiefs, coming all the way from as far as Turkana. They have stayed there for more than a week. How long does it take him to process documents and submit them to the Director of Pensions? The Office of the President is where the problem is. How long does it take him to prepare documents? In my constituency, there are chiefs who have died without getting their ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Questioner said, these cases are very sensitive. The Attorney-General says none of those cases have been concluded. How long will it take the courts to conclude those cases and pay those people their money? Some of these cases have been dragging for a long time. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday a similar Question was asked here, and the Assistant Minister said that he was going to consider doing something when funds were available. That is a chorus by the Ministry. What are the priorities? If they supply drugs to hospitals they know that people die. What are the priorities of the Ministry if they cannot build a mortuary and a theatre? Could he tell us exactly what the priorities of the Ministry are? They went and built a health facility and they did not provide those necessary facilities, yet people die! view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Public Service under what circumstances the Commissioner of Lands was demoted and re-deployed. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is common knowledge, and we read in the newspapers, that the former Commissioner of Lands is under investigations.

• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is trying to evade the Question by going round and round. Could he simply tell us: What circumstances led to her re- deployment? She is a senior officer who has worked in the Ministry of Lands for more than 30 years. She cannot just be deployed to a junior office! I think the Assistant Minister is just trying to be evasive. Could he go to the point and tell us what circumstances led to her deployment? We understand there is a court case about a land issue. He should be categorical and tell ... view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On that note, I would also like to request the Minister that when he is issuing that statement to take into account that even in my constituency we had two landslides. Fortunately, nobody died. The Government response was not there. I want to thank the Minister because when we asked him to give us some food he gave us. He should take care of the emergency part of it because it is something that is recurrent. Could he also respond to that? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, mortuary and theatre facilities are very important components of a hospital. The Assistant Minister has said that he has no money to build a mortuary and theatre in that sub-district hospital. What population does he require for him to build a mortuary or theatre in a sub-district hospital? When the facility was being up-graded to a sub- district hospital, they must have had a plan. What population does the Assistant Minister require so that he can build a theatre? In my own constituency, I do not have a theatre and a mortuary. What population does he ... view
