• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to follow up because in Bori District, Imenti North Constituency, there were projects that were earmarked in the last financial year, but they were never done. They were two boreholes, water pans and ground water harvesting. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House why these projects were never implemented in the last financial year? These projects are in Bori, Kisima, Maitei and Nkando. view

• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Vote. I join others in congratulating the Minister for Education, the PS and the staff of the Ministry, especially for giving a very good ear to the suggestions and proposals that people make, for responding to the letters that Members of Parliament (MPs) write to him, and for attending to them promptly.

• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: However, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to know what criteria is used in identifying drop-in centres in various markets or towns. He knows very well that Meru is not covered and yet, it is the hub of development East of Mt. Kenya. Street children come to Meru from Isiolo, Maua, Chuka and all the way from Nanyuki. How come Meru is not considered among the drop-in centres, Mr. Minister? view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought there would be more hon. Members asking questions. Otherwise, my last question is: Is the Minister aware that some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which claim to be caring for the street children are encouraging them to stay in the streets? They do not want them to move out of the streets because that is how they benefit. They pretend that they are feeding, clothing and taking care of the street children? What will you do to such NGOs which are encouraging street children to stay in the streets in the guise that ... view
