• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: The figure is 30,000 hawkers! Sorry! In fact, I am being corrected by the Minister in charge! More than 30,000 hawkers would be employed in Muthurwa Market. I think that is a step in the right direction. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Local Government. I think he has put a lot of effort in that market. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my constituency has been a beneficiary of market construction. The Ministry is constructing a market at Kibingoti, but the contractor has taken more than three years to construct the market. I do not ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to pass a law in this House saying that no experience should be required when advertising for jobs. With those few remarks, I fully support this Motion by hon. Jimmy Angwenyi. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have just heard the hon. Member say that Mr. John Serut is denying police officers their allowances. I think this amounts to imputing improper motives on a Member of Parliament. I would like to ask him to substantiate this: When did Mr. Serut deny police officers their allowances and which allowances is he talking about? view

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right from the outset, I would like to say that, personally, I support this Motion. There is nothing wrong with policemen getting risk allowance, medical allowance, extraneous allowance and even insurance. However, as we ask the Government to give the policeman these allowances, we must also take cognisance of the development that has occurred in the police force. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: No, I am not. This is my personal contribution, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that as we support this Motion, we must also take cognizance of the developments and improvements that have occurred in the police force. I know as a matter of fact that there are some police stations where officers are still living in mud and mabati houses. That is true. However, there are also some police stations where the Government has constructed modern houses for the officers. Even in my constituency, we have used the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money to construct ten houses for police officers in an effort to supplement the ... view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to be put on record that the Ministry was ready to reply. When the Minister happens not to be present to answer a Question, he should not always be blamed because even hon. Members fail to turn up to ask Questions sometimes. Thank you. 2258 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 4, 2007 view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.1. Whenever Members of Parliament are not in the Chamber, the journalists are very fond of highlighting the issues. We are discussing a very important issue on journalists, but I am shocked to see that the journalists are not in their Gallery. Would I be in order to ask if you could order them to be summoned as they are drinking tea? view
