• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I stand to support this Report because it serves as a wakeup call for the Government. There are so many dangerous foreigners who are coming to Kenya. They are not being vetted. When you look at the circumstances under which those people are flocking into Kenya from Somalia, you will find that there is a lot of corruption that is involved. I think that should be reported to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). They should move with speed and station their officers along the borders to ensure that the corrupt practices that are being done there are stopped. Mr. Temporary ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion. It has been indicated that we have arrears amounting toKshs5.18 billion. This approximately amounts to Kshs40 million per constituency. This amount of money can do tremendous work in our constituencies. First, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance should understand that he has broken the law which is very clear. Every hon. Member who has spoken has just been hyping this. Secondly, despite breaking the law consistently, he has even refused to honor invitations to appear before the CDF Committee. This makes him even more arrogant ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: However, before this debate concludes, maybe, we should give the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance time, at least, 30 minutes to tell us why he has been behaving in this manner. This Ministry is very notorious when it comes to apportioning money to various projects. However, it is very quick at returning this money from the projects. We were promised by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that the money for the Economic Stimulus Projects (ESPs) would remain in the district treasuries or to be rolled on. However, it is very shocking to note that many ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is their right. However, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance should do something urgently and release the funds to the Members of Parliament. Finally, I thank those who voted in the new Constitution. This is because it provides for the Revenue Allocation Commission and other avenues through which such funds will be allocated and used well at the constituency level and elsewhere. With those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to thank the hon. Chanzu for having brought this Motion at this time. If you went to the village in your constituency, in fact, the problem now is the students who have qualified to go to the university but they cannot afford to join. Even those who have applied are not sure as to when they will get loans from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). We have been doing fund raising in the villages to assist but this Motion tends now to address this problem ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologise for coming late; we were being briefed in the office regarding tomorrow’s occasion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) According to the recent survey, that is the Child Labour Analytical Report of 2008, there were 773,696 child labourers in Kenya aged between five and 17 years. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I supplied sufficient copies last week to the Clerk’s office. So, I do not know what happened in between, but I had over 10 copies. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I indicated that I would answer the Question today but I called my officers and we looked at the Question critically and we found out that it is a cross-cutting one. It involves the whole Government, all Ministries, the private sector and we thought that this Question should have been directed to the Office of the Prime Minister or the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 but not the Ministry of Labour because it is not within our mandate. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have just arrived from the referendum and yesterday, I arrived when I was very tired. In fact, the answer was brought when I was just entering the Chamber here and I could not even-- - view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake to inform the Prime Minister because this is a cross-cutting question. It affects all Ministries and all sectors. I will forward this Question to the Prime Minister’s Office so that he can provide an appropriate answer. view
