• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this chance to thank the Assistant Minister for acknowledging that there are IDPs living in the peripheries of Garissa Town and who were affected by the drought in 1992 and by the floods in 1997. Could the Assistant Minister explain why it has taken long for these IDPs to be resettled? The answer given is that once funds are available, those IDPs and other IDPs will be resettled. Mr. Assistant Minister, these people are suffering. What immediate measures are you putting in place to address this issue, particularly their shelter, food and several ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The IDPs in Garissa have been affected for the last 17 years. These people are given rations, as the Assistant Minister has said, but that ration is not adequate and it is not serving them properly. What immediate measures is the Assistant Minister taking to ensure that these IDPs are provided with adequate rations? view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could I be in order to request the Chair to call upon the Mover to respond because even the Member on the Floor has accepted that he is repeating himself? Many hon. Members have been repeating themselves by giving us reasons that have been given before. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset I want to oppose the Motion for Adjournment. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: National leaders, women and men are counted where they stand at the moment of crisis. Today, we will be counted as national leaders depending on our stand on this issue. We have a national crisis. Corruption is a culture in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as national leaders, cannot stand here and support issues that deal with corruption because it is serious. Giving a job to a person is not something that we can stop. What we can stop is the method of doing so. The methodology and the process are wrong. We, as Members of this House, ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to get some clarification from the Minister. Is the project taking into account the railway line designed in 1969? It was supposed to start from Lamu, proceed to Ijara, pass through Garissa, Wajir, Moyale and then to Ethiopia. view

• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I would like to say that the youth of this country have hope today. The boys and girls in this country feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel today. They also feel that their issues are of national importance. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: This is a very important Bill. When leaders all over the world always stand up, they tell the youth that they are the leaders of tomorrow and yet there is no more tomorrow. We have today! It is important for us to add value to this Bill. I would like to go straight to the Bill and talk about the functions of the Council. As has been indicated, the functions of the Council do not empower the youth. I propose that we have an additional function for the youth Council so that they can have a mandate to provide an ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the youth play these oversight role, they will ensure that no youth organization in this country is discriminated against on the basis of ethnicity, region, educational level or disability as far as the YEDF is concerned. Since we are empowering the youth, they will be in a position to investigate cases of misuse of funds, discrimination, bribery and corruption. They will also be able to commission research. Empowering the youth means giving them an opportunity to commission a research on their issues either with regard to disbursement of funds or other issues related to youth ... view
