• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, in view of the fast changing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) environment, the ever increasing need to enforce E-Commerce, E-Government and ensure implementation of ICT programmes in rural and remote areas of this country; aware of the existence of complex and cumbersome licensing systems of broadcasting and multi-media services; this House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill for an Act of Parliament entitled "Information and Communication Bill" to set up a universal access fund to create a one-stop shop for making decisions affecting the ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) what happened to funds allocated for the construction of Road C29 (Siaya-Usonga) and Road C28 (Rang'ala-Siaya-Bondo); (b) whether the designs for these roads were completed; and, (c) when the roads will be constructed. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has clearly said that Kshs36,950,515.24 was paid for the design of this road. Could he tell this House when this road is supposed to go to tender? Could he also tell us the policy, up to the design stage, how long it takes before it goes to tender? view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason why Owimbi- Luanda-Kotieno was done is because a Minister comes from that particular area called Rarieda. But the whole of Siaya District where Roads C28 and C29 run, only Kshs3 million was sent this year to maintain those roads. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what criteria they use when they are deciding on which parts and which sections are important to allocate funds when they are doing these roads? view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister should know the employment policy for sugar companies. What is the minimum wage that a worker should be paid in this country? She should be able to answer that question simply. view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to talk about the Presidential Speech. I would also like to thank the Chair for highlighting the 48 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 21, 2007 various roles of Members of Parliament. Many of my colleagues work tirelessly in their constituencies and Parliament. In fact, many of them are even ailing because of the work they do for their constituents. They travel up and down the country to visit their constituencies and make sure that the people who elected them are represented well. It is unfortunate that this House has not ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: You can even falter as an hon. Member. You are not even a signatory to the cheque that is given through the CDF, yet you are accountable for it almost 100 per cent. You can imagine the accountability because it is a project of which hon. Members have taken the initiative and care, to ensure that the projects work effectively and efficiently. I think you can go to most constituencies and find that it is working. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring up ideas because we believe that the younger generation in this country should be ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. There is a mistake in the way the Order Paper was done. Where Prof. Olweny's name appears, it was supposed to be my name and where my name appears, it is supposed to be Prof. Olweny. The amendments on that particular clause should be under my name. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have seen other Bills that seek to address this issue in other countries. If you impose a certain percentage, the Government will be compelled to adhere to those percentages. In my opinion, they are not high at all. In other countries, the percentage that has been imposed is 50 per cent. For all types of energy that are generated at a the cost of carbon credit, 50 per cent of them have to be degradable fuels. So, I think we are not pushing the limit higher. We are only trying to emulate what other ... view
