• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and the Minister. I also want to give my condolences to the Minister for a gruesome murder that happened in his constituency this morning. Could the Minister tell us clearly and be a bit firm because I believe that CCTV cameras will act as a deterrent to many of the grenade attacks that are happening in Nairobi, what he means when he says that private buildings owners will tap into the infrastructure of CCTV that he will set up as a Ministry? Currently, there is a CCTV infrastructure that is used by radio and ... view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has very good intentions. I wonder whether he is aware of the Nairobi Central Business District Association (NCBDA), which is an association of private businessmen and businesswomen who would happily partner with the Ministry so that, as quickly as possible, Nairobi is made safe and we continue to generate the resources that we are currently generating. Is he able to work together with NCBDA? I am sure they would want to work with him. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Kabogo’s Question is on two people but since the Assistant Minister has admitted that seven people have died as a result of attacks by hippos, and since we have all agreed that when it comes to death, Kenyans are more important than animals, can he also commit himself to compensate the other seven families which, in the last two years, have had their relatives killed by a hippo, who is supposed to be under the care of the Ministry? view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister stated very clearly that he recognizes that there is a problem between registration and eventual disbursement of identity cards. Could he tell us whether he is aware that the vetting committees that are normally used to vet citizens who want to get identity cards in these particular regions demand for an allowance of Kshs200 to Kshs300 from them? Is this money spent appropriately? Does the Government itself facilitate the vetting committee or does it ask them to get the facilitation from those who are coming to apply for the identity ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to avoid answering this question concisely, because I believe it is one of the reasons there is laxity? view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: How much it is that they give the vetting committees? Even if they change them often, how much do they give them as facilitation allowance? It is only fair for us to know how much they are given. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development on access and benefits of Free Primary Education (FPE) enjoyed by children and also the progress that was reported by the Ministry during the celebration of the Day of the African Child on 16th June, 2012. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: In the Statement, the Minister should state: 1. the measures the Ministry has put in place to ensure that children with disabilities, including physical and mental disabilities, have access to FPE; 2. indicate whether the Government has an elaborate policy on children with special needs, specifically on non-discrimination, considering that only 1.7 per cent of the estimated 1.5 million children with disabilities have access to formal education in the country. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the Motion because I am simply not convinced by the Leader of Government Business. I am not convinced that we need to give up Committee work to come here to do work that the Government should have brought earlier. The afternoon sitting suffices. We can still extend our time. We do not have to go on recess tomorrow, if the Government feels that its work is very important. With those remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, lawyers have a very good habit here of playing with words and our minds. If there is no difference between a “committee” and a “tribunal” why are you changing it? There must be a reason for changing from “committee” to “tribunal”. So, please, do not take us for children’s simplicity. If the Departmental Committee has brought an amendment here, please, Attorney-General, explain in a better way, but do not tell us that there is no difference because then you would not be changing it. view
