• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister right to continuously say that the man took himself to court? It is very clear even from your answer that you are the ones who arrested him, took him to court and charged him. Why are you misleading us now that he went to court himself? view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister advice us whether it is possible to get those certificates of good conduct from the districts other than Nairobi? Could we, in the spirit of devolution, get it from the counties? It costs our people from Kisumu and other places a lot of time and money to come over here. It also takes an inordinate period of time to get the certificates. Sometimes, it can even take up to six months. Bearing in mind that the people who are doing it here are already overburdened by the demand, could the Assistant ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister always says “If we get funds from Treasury”. We have been at a Budget workshop and we have talked to Treasury at great detail. The Treasury told us that if we do not budget for something, they cannot give us money for it. I think the Assistant Minister is saying that they budgeted for it for such and such a period, but they have not got the money. In that case, some of us can go to the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee and to the Treasury ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As much as we appreciate that the Assistant Minister may have a hint about the future, I do not think it is right for him to include it in his report that he perceives that So-and-so--- Anybody could be the President in the next Government. So, I do not think it is in order for the Assistant Minister to assume that the next Government will be formed by so-and- so. It may be so but he cannot be sure. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for a moment I thought you had not seen me because of my colleague who blocked your view. Last year, about the same time, the Assistant Minister made a promise that from then on, there would be no problems with fertilizer. Now he is telling us that because of the Treasury it took--- I have just come from a Budget workshop and the Treasury told us clearly that they cannot continue accepting emergency requests from you. Can he confirm to us that he is ordering stock now, so that we are not late in planting next year? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has answered the question of fluoride reasonable well. However, she has not covered the issue of sewerage in respect of pesticides that are also being discharged into the lake. That is the responsibility of the Ministry, which is in charge of all water sources. Could she, please, tell us what the Ministry is doing about pesticides that are being discharged into the lake, for which she is the regulating authority? view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, on which I sit, did a comprehensive report on this particular matter. I would seek your indulgence that this matter be sent back to them, so that they can re-table the Report that was rejected in the House over a year and-a-half ago. It answered a lot of questions. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: The matter of the Grand Regency Hotel. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says in her answer that they have involved the tourist industry in western Kenya. Is she aware that tourist operators in Kisumu have been raising concern with the Ministry, which is that they have not been involved in tourism activities? Is she aware of that situation and if so, what does she intend to do to make them aware and make them part and parcel of her project? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant minister has admitted that both the Citi Hoppa and the Kenya Bus Service buses do not comply with the conditions for which they were issued the licence to operate. This is because they are not the owners of the vehicles. Could he inform us whether he is now prepared to cancel the licences for Citi Hoppa and Kenya Bus Service or suspend them until they are properly regulated? view
