• 13 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Linturi has said, the amount of 15 per cent relates to the Financial Year 2012/2013 and as such it is most appropriate that it goes to the constituencies that were there before. It is quite easy for the Member of Parliament of the old constituency to incorporate the Member from the new constituency and manage those funds together because up to now accounts have not been opened. So many procedures have not been done and we are all suffering just because of administrative hiccups. We can deal with this within the current structure that we have. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendments by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I want to laud that proposal. Rural electrification and solar energy are very important to this country. As such, we must make all efforts to reduce the cost of power in this country. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Public Service Commission is one of the oldest commissions and it has done a remarkable job over time under very difficult conditions. I also support very strongly that it should be given facilities to bring it up to par with other commissions. It has what we call an intelligent team. It has worked well. Its functions have been increased from seven to 19 and yet, its budget was slashed. We feel that it is very important to enhance the allocation to that Commission rather than reduce it. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I feel we should ensure that those items that require our involvement in infrastructure development should be supported. So, as much as I was a little bit disappointed initially that the allocation to tourism and industry was reduced by a small amount, we are prepared to accept that for the time being. However, that should not continue next time because tourism and industry are the two pillars of Vision 2030. view
