• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The total number of vehicles bought in the last three years is 752. (b) Details of the beneficiaries are as follows; and since this is a question about the entire country, I have summarized province by province. For the last three years, for the Provincial Administration, 183 vehicles, the Kenya Police, 156, the Administration Police 97, the balance--- if the figure does not add up to 752 the vehicles distributed to police headquarters and the terrorist unit, the training college and the provincial administration headquarters - The criteria is to do with ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a list for the vehicles supplied to the larger Makueni. It includes Mbitini, which I believe is in his area; Kathonzweni--- I do not know whether you want me to read the whole list. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I will furnish you with the list. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, we have been able to send to all the district commissioners who did not have vehicles, the 42 of them. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have to check again the districts the hon. Member is referring to but as far as I am informed and I am willing to come back again to confirm that, I was told that all DCs do now have vehicles. With regard to the second part of the question, the hon. Member wanted to know which criteria was used for distributing these vehicles.

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not recall which Assistant Minister he is referring to but if that commitment is there, I will follow up. But I can also say that we are not able at the moment to provide vehicles to almost 700 divisional headquarters. We simply do not have enough vehicles for all the divisions but I will try to follow up on that particular promise, if it is in writing. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are currently discussing with Treasury the possibility of acquiring more vehicles and when that happens, we will look into the case of Mathioya. With regard to the movement, there is a vote for travelling which the DC can utilize to support the movement of the DOs. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the hon, Member is right but this is a different question. I would have to check and find out what happened to Tharaka because they have security challenges there. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very big challenge but as I said earlier, we are discussing with the Treasury because there was no adequate budgetary provision in this particular year. We were only given Kshs198 million to buy vehicles. If we were to buy Land Rovers, we can only have 62 Land Rovers. So, we are engaging the Treasury to ensure that we get the necessary support in this area. But, in the meantime, we will continue sharing resources with the mother districts. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will revisit that area although looking at the hon. Member’s constituency I notice that the DO, Mbitini has two vehicles; GKA958C and GKA655H. So, he is actually better taken care of than the rest of us but I will look at the situation. view
