• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Dr. Manduku! view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife:- (a) what he is doing to curb the killing of wildlife in Samburu District; and, (b) whether he could consider putting up a game post at Amayia on the Baringo/Samburu border and at Nadoime on the Turkana/Samburu border. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer the Minister has given is not satisfactory. I do not know why he is unwilling to accept the fact that, where we border Laikipia District, there have been cases of killings of unique species of wildlife such as the grevy's zebra and giraffes. I, personally, do not think that there is adequate security cover unless we establish more security posts. When he talks about Baawa, it is in the western side of my constituency. But there is clearly no security cover in the eastern border. I wonder whether the Minister could revive, at least, the ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied with the supplementary answer given by the Minister. But may I also take this opportunity to thank him for visiting my constituency recently. I want to ask him, once more, when he will bring the Wildlife Bill to this House. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why is the Ministry awarding tenders for urban councils and municipalities at the headquarters? Why are they not involving the local authorities? I have a case in my constituency where a contract was awarded at the headquarters while the local authority; Maralal Urban Council, was unaware of it. The contractor arrived, did a shoddy job and disappeared. Why can we not decentralise these functions so that the people on the ground can have a say regarding the markets that are being built? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development:- (a) how many public dips are operational in Samburu District; and, (b) whether he could re-introduce subsidised dipping infrastructure in the interest of the public and overseas markets. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see from the Assistant Minister's answer that there is only one dip which is available for 1.2 million animals. One dip! Clearly, that is a reflection of failure of the structural adjustment policies that were introduced by the World Bank in the 1990s. 3170 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 15, 2007 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to find out from the Assistant Minister: When will the new policy be in place? When will you be ready with the results of the survey? It is obvious, just looking at my constituency alone, where one dip ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, dipping is very important to protect even the dairy industry in other parts of Kenya from East Coast Fever. What quality measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that the acaricide being used is proper, because there have been reported cases of weak acaricides, which are not effective to kill ticks, being sold by some organisations? Are there quality assurance methods in place on a regular basis to ensure that the acaricides are effective? view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities:- (a) when Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) and Ewaso Nyiro North Development Authority (ENNDA) were established and for what purpose; and, (b) how many projects these Authorities have undertaken in Samburu District since their inception. view
