• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: But, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir--- view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance to discuss one or two issues concerning this Vote. I would like to commend the Minister and her officers for the work they are doing in the Ministry. I think we have had a change from what used to be there in the past. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Some of us have had an opportunity to organise medical camps at the grassroots level. Whenever we organise these medical camps, we realise that the majority of people in the rural areas are sick in one way or another. Indeed, I discovered that in my constituency almost 80 per cent of the people who turned up in these camps were sick. We should be improving our district and Provincial hospitals in this country. We should also go down to health facilities in our rural areas. We should conduct medical camps to reach people at the grassroots, who do not have ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the hon. Members affected are downstream towards the end of Nzoia River. That river used to have fish a couple of years ago. But now, we cannot find any fish because it is silty and polluted. The Members of Parliament for Budalangi, Ugenya, and I, need to be involved in that consultative meeting. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this Motion. It is about time that we have this Motion in this House. Over the years since Independence the Government had stopped building houses. I think Jamhuri Estate was the last one they ever put up. It is also about time that we consider, as our colleagues said, providing finances that enable the poor to own houses. If you go to some of these estates, you will find that somebody is living in his bedroom and his feet are outside the window. Those houses are constructed in ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) how many boreholes and water pans the Government is planning to sink during the Financial Year 2005/2006; (b) which districts and localities will benefit from the project; and, (c) how the districts and localities were identified. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for that comprehensive answer. However, I normally attend District Development Committee (DDC) meetings and I do not think District Water Engineers (DWE) are aware of these boreholes and water tanks that are being put up in the district. Could the Minister tell this House whether geo- surveys have been done? How much will it cost to sink these boreholes? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking how much did these boreholes cost because I do not remember these issues being discussed in the DDC meetings? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my constituency, we have been sinking boreholes for the last one year or so. It is costing us between Kshs700,000 to Kshs1 million to drill a borehole. Our biggest concern is the geological survey being done by his Ministry officials. Could the Minister tell us why they are delaying in doing these geo-surveys, and what plans he has put in place for officers to do these geo-surveys fast enough? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say a few things with regard to introduction of biotechnology in Kenya. Technology is the key to development in any country. I have had an opportunity to travel to the United States of America (USA), where biotechnology products are produced. I saw that it does not stop farmers from planting traditional crops. They can still plant their traditional crops. In some shops in the USA, you will find a notice indicating that they sell only organic food, while other shops sell biotechnology products. What is biotechnology? It is ... view
