That is what we are questioning. What transpired with the Turkanas? view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some time back - three or so months in this House - the Ministry was on record that it will employ staff to counter the then disease in the same northern part of the country; PPR. Today here, we are talking about the imminent outbreak of the Rift Valley Fever and the same story is continuing: "We are in the process of employing". My question here is: When shall we employ? When shall we be through with the employment and have staff in place to counter the diseases? view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is an era of strategic planning for all Ministries. There is also performance contracting. We cannot say, in a mystified situation, where the Assistant Minister is only telling us: "We are prepared". We are asking for specific time-frames when the employment will be complete and save the population of this country from losing their livestock and their economic backbone! view
