• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to congratulate the President for his wonderful Speech. As always, it is a good Speech because it is written but, of course, it does not really reflect the situation on the ground. I will be showing some examples on that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of us were caught dozing off a bit, but you are aware that when we are a full House, this House is warm. We do not even feel the air-conditioners and we doze off. When the Speech does not excite anybody, we ... view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: strive to survive, they do not enjoy life. Now, here I am thinking of say accessing water. Many Kenyans buy water and yet, it is a basic human right. Many Kenyans do not even eat a decent meal. Food is a basic human right. Many Kenyans live in the slums. We have the biggest slum in Africa in this country and maybe the biggest one in the world. It is a pity that we are not worrying about where these slum dwellers will live decently. Look at the cost of public transport, for example. Some Kenyans walk for up to ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, farmers cannot eat potential. Mangoes are grown in areas where, probably, nothing else can grow. So, the farmers rely on mangoes only. The Assistant Minister has told us that, in its revitalization of agriculture, the Ministry will concentrate on value addition. Could he tell us which investors he is encouraging to come and set up fruit processing plants to make sure that these fruits do not go to waste? 3826 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 22, 2006 view

• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard earlier the Assistant Minister say that the whole question of cheating in national examinations was a ploy by the Press to give the Ministry a bad name. Is she in order to insinuate that, when we know that the outcome of the investigations by the Ministry was not made public? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance:- (a) whether he is aware that there are so many Government vehicles lying at Government junk yards; (b) if the answer to (a) above is in the affirmative, how many such vehicles are in the junk yards and what their value is; and, (c) if he could inform the House what urgent measures he is taking to ensure the vehicles are repaired and distributed to Government departments all over the country to reduce the rampant cases of lack of official transport for civil servants who are entitled to official transport. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I accept the Assistant Minister's request because the answer that I have, which is signed by the Minister for Finance is not proper. It is an embarrassment to this Government which purports to be a new Government which does things differently. view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know that projects are unlikely to succeed when community members are not involved. Could we be told whether community members were involved in this project? view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought this Ministerial Statement because I saw on television a teacher who admitted that he took the examination fees, but did not register the pupils. How many parents can access the said website in this country to check whether their children are registered? Could the Assistant Minister tell us what measures he is going to put in place to make sure that this does not happen again? view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is appears that the more we raise awareness about this issue, the more cases of rape and child abuse we get in this country. Kenya has an extremely bad reputation when it comes to this. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what they are doing as a Ministry to make sure that they actually focus on this issue? view
