• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the hon. Member sought to know what measures the Ministry is taking to resolve the issue behind the strike, and I would like to respond as follows:- (a) The Ministry has requested Kshs246 million, through the Supplementary Budget, to cater for upgrading of other TSC staff members who had been left out after the five senior officers were promoted, as per the recommendation of the Ministry of State for Public Service vide their letter dated 3rd November, 2011. (b) The Ministry has requested additional Kshs60 million from the Treasury for the purpose of improving the working environment by partitioning ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the last query on the discrimination at the place of work. When the TSC moved its headquarters from its previous place along Moi Avenue to Upper Hill, these offices were incomplete. Indeed, the Ministry of Public Works, my Ministry and the Treasury did an inventory of the items that were not completed. The Human Resource Department has ten sections. The bulk of these sections have already been settled in various offices except the other remaining five that were temporarily made to occupy the current conference hall, which was required for use as a ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in no way, have I any intention of misleading the House. There are two levels, namely; the civil servants union, which is the TSC, and the umbrella body. The collective bargaining agreement is signed with the mother union, the civil servants union, the overall union. When they formed the local chapter at the TSC, they were not entitled to any deductions directly to their union. Any deductions had to be transmitted directly to the mother union. The six of them, who are under interdiction, colluded and diverted the money instead of transmitting it to the mother union, ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will transmit that information to the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will definitely communicate with the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to do it on Thursday afternoon as you have directed. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oblige. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion with the full understanding that these supplementary estimates are very critical in the final roadmap towards the next financial year. Some of the areas that have been factored in these supplementary estimates are critical and particularly the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) programmes that have been fairly popular with the electorate and mwanachi throughout the country. Due to the shortage of funds in this region, I am quite happy to note that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has now made provision for Kshs5.5 billion to be able ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We have been hard hit by drought and water shortages, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. It is my expectation that when these funds are finally released to the respective account holders, that they will be able to put them to use. One of the areas where we are suffering greatly is making services accessible to those who are mostly affected, maybe the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). I think that is an area that we cannot continue ignoring. Therefore, these funds, when released, should be able to be applied to relieve the pain and difficulties that the IDPs experience. Also, ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, it is my expectation and I plead with the Deputy Prime and Minister for Finance, that this release of Kshs5.5 billion under the ESP is itself a sweetener and I hope, without having to gag him at this stage, that there will be a stimulus for an additional funding when the new budget finally comes. This is because it is one area which has been able to reduce the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” in terms of development within the regions of Kenya. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support and second. view
