• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On the second question, Eldoret--- view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, she should allow me to even open my mouth. I said that I agree with her that the DC moved into a Government house. Eldoret is a very unique place; it has three districts converging into the Municipality of Eldoret. Seventy- five per cent of the houses are located within the hon. Member’s constituencies. These houses are in a Government pool. They are allocated by the Ministry of Housing just like they are allocated in other places. I agree with the hon. Member, Eldoret East is extremely unique in the sense that we also have another Government ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the District Commissioners will have to look for other rented facilities to accommodate themselves within or at distances closer to the districts which the hon. Member has requested be created. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the DCs were appointed in the course of the last financial year. With new resources now being supplied in the new financial year, the respective DCs will now deal with the IDPs. As of now, no funds were handed over. It was not found necessary to hand over the activities that the other DC was carrying out on behalf of the other one, in the middle of the financial year. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that appears to be a new Question for which I do not have a brief. However, I am willing to answer it on Thursday if it is properly directed to our Ministry. I am also willing to discuss with him outside the House. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not aware that there was a serious problem over a list. I will undertake to ensure that every DC deals with the list of the IDPs under his or her jurisdiction together with the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. I do not think we have any disagreement as to handing over of the list of IDPs at all. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek the indulgence of this House to have this Question deferred because I do not have a satisfactory answer at the moment. I have already discussed that with Mr. Outa and he has agreed with me. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to second the Vote of the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. I want to begin by congratulating the Minister and her senior staff for the good work they have done in the recent past, particularly in the distribution of the Government relief food. For those of us who come from difficult areas, the positive thing that we see is the relief food that is visible and transparently distributed. The Ministry may look small in size but its role is extremely significant. Therefore, we feel that the resources being given for administration, the ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: We also need to prepare to fund “river training”. Whenever there is a disaster, we approach the Ministry. We are aware that when a river leaves its course, we need to redirect it back to its original course and a lot of resources are required. We are aware that the Ministry of Water and Irrigation does not have those resources. We are also aware that we may experience El Nino in the course of this year. I doubt whether there are resources that have been set aside for that purpose. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kshs1.2 billion that has been set ... view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mr. George Leariwala’s retirement benefit claim was processed and submitted to the Director of Pensions on 24th November, 2008. He should therefore confirm with his local bank if payment has been made or plan to come to our office so that we can explain to him his entitlements to erase any uncertainties. Mr. Kombera Lemiruni was written a letter dated 28th April, 2008 requesting him to complete and forward documents to our office to enable us process his entitlement. He has since not replied. Mr. David Lekoloi and Mr. Timothy Lekango should ... view
