• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the Bill wholeheartedly. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When you called for Question No.659, I want to understand whether Mr. K. Kilonzo is out of the country on official business or unofficial business to The Hague. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My colleague is asking me whether I have a kipande, and I am prepared to show it to him. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: He is wondering whether we have that. I can show that to him. However, on a more serious note, as has been said by my colleagues - and I will not want to repeat too much – having an identity card is your fundamental right. It appears that the minority groups are the ones that are hit the worst, especially the Muslims, tribes in North Eastern Province and other places. We wonder whether there is an hidden agenda to disenfranchise those groups, so that they do not vote. It is a shame to see the same Government wasting money. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we saw the other day that the issue of getting condoms seems to be more important than the one of identity cards. We are jumping all over the place saying that we do not have condoms. What about the question of identification cards? We have no identification cards. It is also wrong to blame the Treasury all the time that it has not given us the money if the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 has not budgeted for that money. This is one of the pillars of Vision 2030 that every person ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is part of normal expenditure of the Ministry, just like paying salaries and other compensations. These are expenditures which are always planned and budgeted for every year. Is the Minister in order to say that they have asked Treasury for money? Have they budgeted for it, so that they can be sourcing it from their own budget? If the Ministry has not budgeted for this money and money for other compensations, the Minister should be clear and say that he will budget for it in financial year 2011/2012 and ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He is misleading the House. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir! view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Transport in respect of Kisumu Airport. We have upcountry buses, specifically buses used by Bukinya Bus Service that transport passengers from the old to the new terminus. Those buses are totally unsuitable for transferring passengers because they are literally upcountry buses and have a very small entry. Disabled people are greatly disadvantaged and all passengers at large. It is a total disgrace that, after we have spent millions of shillings, we are using scrap buses for transporting passengers. When I discussed this matter with ... view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no doubt that, this is a continuing process. The question was not why we are using buses. It was why we are using buses which are totally unsuitable to carry passengers. They have narrow and steep entrances. Why can we not get suitable buses? Tomorrow, you will start using bodaboda s and say that works are in progress. I think the Minister needs to be very clear on this issue. If he is not aware and I think his Chief Executive is also not aware, he should say that he is going to ... view
