• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is only fair to appreciate one factor. It does not matter whether there is one tranche or one and half tranches, but the quantum of funds that are transmitted to respective constituencies, the total is Kshs500 million. I think it may be appropriate at this stage to be able to appraise the House how this figure is arrived at. Usually it is the constituency secondary schools students’ enrolment over the national secondary school student’s enrolment times the constituency poverty index over the national poverty index. That then gives you the total sum of ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: As regards to how many tranches last year, we did disburse the entire Kshs500 million to the respective constituencies. If she wants me to bring up the list, I will. As for this particular tranche, I have a list of every constituency that will be a recipient of these funds by 15th of March. The list is here. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the essence is equity and access to resources. We cannot say our tranches are coming later in the part of the year when Form One intake was just completed about two weeks ago. We are very much within our time. Given the schedules of Treasury Exchequer releases, March is the period when such releases are being captured. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are talking at cross purposes; the financial year starts from July to June, 30th. Whatever you might have received in January last year does not count towards the tranche of this year. As I said, the funds which will be released by 15th of this month, 2010, will form the tranche for this academic year. Hon. Members, rest assured that the balance of the money will be released before 30th of June. The bursary funds for 2011 will be released after the Budget is tabled in Parliament and funds are made available to ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry does not keep any cent. The Ministry will transmit every cent that will come from the Treasury directly--- view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: There is absolutely no problem, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member who asked that Question is already in receipt of an answer. He enquired directly from my Ministry how much funds have gone to his constituency. I have given him the tabulation. I think what we will do, in order to satisfy everybody, is to table that list so that you know what went to each constituency in the last financial year. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure we are referring to the Financial Year 2008/2009 ending 30th of June. I will be too glad to table that list next week on Thursday. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite understandable that we have a summit of IGAD here. Precisely, it is dealing with the same query that the hon. Member has raised on the Floor of this House. The summit is being held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and such serious issues are being discussed. They include security issues along the Kenya/Sudan border. I will inform the Minister when they finish that this matter will be revisited next week. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
