• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The last part of my question was not answered, with regard to capturing those leopards and relocating to them to the Nairobi National Park, before the public takes action. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my understanding of the Roads 2000 Programme is that it targets high agricultural potential districts. I have seen the list and Samburu District is excluded. Is there any reason for this because this is an area where wheat, maize and potatoes are grown? view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The conversations are so loud that we cannot hear the valuable contribution by the hon. Member! view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) how many groups in Samburu are benefiting from the "Njaa Marufuku" Kenya Programme; and, (b) what criteria is used to select those groups. view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to elaborate on what kind of projects the NMPK undertakes. How much money has been allocated, in the Ministry's budget, specifically for those 18 projects? view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members and other leaders are a bit in the dark with regard to that good project. Who constitutes the District Co-ordinating Committees (DCCs)? How much funds are available at the Ministry headquarters? The officers on the ground do not seem to be aware of the budgetary allocation and the future prospects of that project! view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for National Heritage:- (a) why he increased the land acreage occupied by Kenyatta House in Maralal from five acres to 28 acres; (b) whether he is aware of the constraints the increase is putting on Maralal Town's expansion; and, (c) when he will reduce the size of the land to five acres or less. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for this answer. I believe that eight hectares translate to the same, 28.5 acres. I am wondering whether the Minister accepts that. The late hon. Jomo Kenyatta was detained in Maralal through the last stages and occupied that House and we do not see any reason why you require 28 acres. The 28 acres takes away so much grazing land from our people, and that is the reason I am asking this Question. Why is it important to accept international regulations requiring 28 acres even when there is no space? Why--- view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister assure the people of Samburu 1020 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 that whatever is being developed on the Kenyatta House land is not for the interest of a group of people working under a rotary club? They are interested in setting up a business and cultural centre on the spot! Could he ensure that there are consultations before something is developed there? Could he ensure that whatever is developed there is a museum to honour the late Jomo Kenyatta and not a private business for some people? view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Is the Assistant Minister aware that the biggest constraint in this whole exercise of identity cards is inadequate allowances for staff to go out there and reach the people. They simply do not have enough money. What action is he taking to address this issue? view
