• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Assistant Minister's answer. However, being aware that the contractor who was on this section of the Nkubu-Meru-Lewa Road is no longer there and the poor workmanship on the road--- The access roads have not been completed to our satisfaction. What measures will the Assistant Minister put in place to ensure that when the foot bridge is done, it is not left incomplete just like the other project? view
• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will invite the Assistant Minister, if he is willing to come to Meru, to see the poor work that has been done in the whole of Meru Town. The contractor has already left the site. The work that has been done has left the town worse than it was before. It is vital that the Assistant Minister goes to see what is happening. We wonder why the Municipal Council engineer has not told them that the work that was paid for was not done satisfactorily. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand here to support the Motion. Actually, it is long overdue and I commend the Mover of this Motion. As the hate messages cut across the country, thereafter, blackmail came in and it is those mobile phone providers that should have been telling people who were the real owners of those messages. It is time we curbed crime and insecurity by knowing who are communicating through the Short Message Services (SMSs). As long as people who own mobile phones are not registered, they cannot be traced easily. The police take a long time ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion because the budget-making process should be all inclusive, consultative and hon. Members, being excluded in that process, is a major omission. Parliament is made up of all the representatives of the people. We are the voice of the people. So, it does not make sense that Parliament only comes to approve what has been done outside. Hon. Members are asked to approve strange things, so that the Government can continue. Yet, what Parliament is asked to approve is done outside its knowledge. Parliament is not consulted. It does not ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that those teachers are now under the Ministry of Education, and knowing that teachers under the Ministry of Education are employees of TSC, including technical teachers and those in post- primary schools, could they be considered to be under one employer; TSC? view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he is aware that the section of the road between Gitimbine and Nkabune Technical Institute in North Imenti, which is a classified road, is damaged and becomes completely impassable during the rainy season; and, (b) what urgent steps he is taking to repair the road. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister is saying that in the previous year, we had Kshs11 million for the repair of that road and he has conceded to the fact that the road is impassable. Nkabune Technical Institute is a national technical training institute. It is the only girls technical institution in the area. Whenever it rains, and the rainy season normally covers three months, nobody can go into or move out of that institution because of the poor roads. Even four- wheel drive vehicles cannot ply the road because they are blocked by ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with that commitment I am very satisfied. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to be guided! Which Standing Order is he using to make you rule on the mood of the House? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, realising that Kenya has no law on biotechnology and biosafety; considering that emerging trends in the development of genetically-modified organisms and the advancement of genetic engineering for purposes of improving food crops and animal husbandry; cognisant of the need to have risk management and control in all areas related to and incidental to biotechnology; this House grants leave to introduce Biotechnology and Biosafety Bill to regulate the development, handling, transfer, use, release and disposal of materials, products, processes and organisms resulting from modern biotechnology, biosafety and for ... view
