• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very true that the answer I received is insufficient. I agree that we give more time to the Minister. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this very important Motion. City councils, municipal and county councils play a very important role in this country. I know for sure that many of the Members of Parliament from the Coast Province, especially from Mombasa, climbed to this stage through council activities. I was a councillor in 2002, but unfortunately, I was deregistered after only four months because I was against the policy of the regime of the time. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, it is very important for us to see how the councils can raise funds to pay the mayors, deputy mayors and the councillors. For the last 15 years, the Mombasa City Council has applied several times through the Office of Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government to be allowed to charge levies, especially in very important areas like the Kilindini Harbour. The council had asked if it could charge, at least,US$1 for every tonne of imports or exports. The council should also be allowed to charge levies through the Kenya Airports ... view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: In the hotel industry, bed occupancy can be a very important source of income. The councils should also be allowed to charge levies in marine and wildlife parks. Through these levies, the councils can raise funds and increase the councillors' salaries without the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government feeling the pinch when time comes to increase the councillors' salaries. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, recently when salaries of the members of Police Force were increased, we were told that the increment was effected so that police officers could render their services effectively. If councillors are paid well, they will also render their services effectively. We all agree that the city, municipal and county councils play a very vital role in this country. When we have effective councillors in our areas, we anticipate better health services, roads and education. I, therefore, urge the Members to support this Motion. I pray that we will pass this Motion, so that our people will ... view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: There are areas, for example, Kwale, Tana River and Lamu, where councillors work very hard. They have a real problem when it comes to transport. Otherwise, day in, day out, they make sure that services are rendered in time. For us, hon. Members, half of the week we are not in our constituencies. The councillors are the people who are at the grassroots. These are the leaders who know exactly what is happening with our people. So, we should all support this Motion for the benefit of the councillors in our areas. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before going on recess in December last year, I asked this Assistant Minister a question about a dangerous road on Makupa Causeway. He said that it will be repaired from the end of December and end by mid January 2009. Up to today which is 21st January, 2009, no repairs have taken place and we have not seen any engineer there. Could he inform the House when the repair work will start? view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nichangie Hoja hii. Ningependa kuchukua fursa hii kumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kutujalia sote kufika Mwezi huu wa Desemba kwa afya njema. Pia ningependa kuchukua nafasi hii kumshukuru Bw. Spika na wewe Bw. Naibu Spika kwa kazi njema mliotufanyia mpaka sasa. Jambo muhimu ambalo tungetaka Wakenya watambue ni kwamba, baada ya Mswada wa kurekebisha Katiba wa mwaka 2008, kwa mpangilio uliopitishwa na kuona kwamba tulikuwa na vikao vya Wabunge vya Kamukunji kwa siku, imeonyesha dalili ya kwamba kuna Wambunge katika Bunge la Kumi ambao wameamua kwenda kwa mpangilio wa kuangalia haki ... view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice. view
