• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good that you have noted that the Assistant Minister is actually being irrelevant. He must really be prepared to tell the truth. I was in the constituency last week and we had an education day on Friday. The common problem that was faced by the teachers was the scarcity of food in the schools. I managed also to confirm that from the district education office. They were only given food to last for 35 view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: days. What is the rationale of the Ministry giving food to last 35 days instead of 69 days? That is actually what the records say in the district education office. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that food that is meant for the third term is being distributed and is already in the district. That is because the food is actually under the World Food Programme (WFP). Officials from WFP are not ready to release food until next term. Could the Assistant Minister direct those concerned to release the food to the schools, so that they can carry out their programmes before the end of the term? Otherwise, could he allow them to close the schools? view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just informing the Assistant Minister that I am aware that food meant for third term is already being taken to the district headquarters but the officials of the Ministry and WFP are not ready to release the food until the start of third term. Now that there is scarcity of food in schools, particularly in boarding schools which get midday meals, could you direct that the food that is lying now in the district headquarters be supplied to schools, so that they can run their programmes until the end of the term? view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to react to the Statement given by the Deputy Leader of Government Business. I am aware of some reports that have been tabled on the Floor of the House by the relevant Committees, but the House Business Committee has not allocated time for those reports to be discussed. A specific one is the report of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. These reports arise from fact finding missions by the relevant Committees and need to be brought to the House, so that the recommendations given by the Committees are implemented. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I really want to congratulate the Committee for a job well done and the recommendations that have been made. I believe that the Minister will be able to implement the recommendations that have been made by the Committee. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my concern here and appeal to the Minister who is here is: What is the mandate of the Committee? If you look at Article “E” the mandate of the Committee is to identify and categorize IDPs in camps, integrated, pastoralists and forest evictees. When you talk about pastoralists, this actually has a lot to do with communal conflicts. My disappointment with the Committee is that even many of the visits are actually concentrated on IDP camps and forest evictees. They forgot about the pastoralists. More specifically, those are cases that happened in Laikipia. If you ... view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: own community. It is very difficult, even if there are clashes, for people to go and camp in a church or school. They had better integrate amongst members of their community. Therefore, their land is left unattended. As a result, the bandits have a field day along the Nyahururu-Rumuruti-Maralal Highway because the people are not there. So, I just want to appeal to the Minister to liaise with the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and ensure that people who own land in Laikipia are able to go back to their land and make use of it. ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, previously the Government created what they called Export Economic Zones (EEZ) as a move to spur or promote economic growth. They are now coming up with the Konza ICT City. What difference is there and what makes it much better than the EPZ they used to have? view
