• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I donate it to hon. Charles Kilonzo? view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can see the Minister has indicated Kshs3.5 billion which, to me, is the kind of money that can really make a difference to the women in Kacheliba. However, I did not see it as money that has been factored in this year’s Budget. This means that the Kshs3.5 billion will have to depend on the goodwill of the next Minister for Water in the next Government who might not be a woman. Could the Minister assure the women of Kacheliba that she will undertake the Kshs3.5 billion project which is the real project that will ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, sometimes I am not sure whether to be amused or amazed by the answers that the Assistant Minister gives us. How can a whole Government be depending on SMS service from Kenyans as a way to develop or monitor security in the forthcoming elections when we pass budgets here for billions which are unaccounted for, for the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS)? Is he serious or is he just answering a Question because he has to answer a Question? view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are going round in circles. Is it in order that the Ministerial Statement that was requested for, which has all the questions that we are asking now--- The request was; give us the qualifications and the names of the people who applied. Why has the Minister ignored this and yet we have allowed him to continue? He has not answered the Ministerial Statement that he was requested to give. I also want to state that we will not accept these people in Nairobi. This is on record. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, I want to bring us back to what I believe we are not addressing in this House. A few months ago, I brought this Question when the President attempted this the first time to deploy County Commissioners. I brought the Question here and the Minister of State for Public Service told us on this Floor that County Commissioners will not be deployed until we pass the Transitional Authority Bill. It is on record on HANSARD. It is the commitment given by the Government on this Floor. The same County Commissioners have now been deployed. What ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In supporting my colleague, I have said countless times that the purpose of the Statement we sought from the Minister is so that he can give us details, details which he has not given us and hence the speculation. Can the Minister simply, therefore, table a list of the 47 appointees, showing the dates of their appointments, the position that each one of them held previously as well as their grades, so that we can know that the parameter that the Ministry has used in making the appointments, which they said ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I contributed to asking for the Ministerial Statement, and I pointed that out, knowing that there could be the issue that he is going to talk about; this is the issue of secretaries and under- secretaries within the Ministry. I want to ask you to state categorically, if you were to appoint using seniority, are there no women today who are under-secretaries or secretaries, and who could have been appointed? This is the grade that the Government in doing postings. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement of Youth Affairs and Sports to explain the current status of the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MAISA) and specifically who the board members of MAISA are and how many times they have met in the last one year. He should give the details of a report commissioned by their donor, namely, Strom Foundation, who has subsequently withdrawn their funding, which confirms cases of sexual defilement, age cheating and corruption. Thirdly, what has the Ministry done with the negative publicity this story has ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support and just indicate to the Government that, if four women could be found to the Police Oversight Board, how can you not find many women to be District Commissioners? I do not know what you trying to do. It is a big joke. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: There are women who the Committee has overlooked in terms of where they are married or where they came from. They have been put on the basis of merit and whether they can do the work. I am recommending highly to other Committees and in the other work that we do here that we should not put women in tribal cocoons. That is because we are married elsewhere and our children are of mixed ethnicity. view
