• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a letter from the education office, Teso District, to the Permanent Secretary indicating that Ojaamong Primary School has not yet got the funds.

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter dated 15th December, 2006, says that there was late payment of free primary eduction funds to accounts No.1 and No.2 for Ojaamong Primary School. It totals to over Kshs200,000. There is also another school called Matumbai, which has not got free primary education funds. There has been communication between the DEO's office in Teso and the Ministry. That also applies to Akobwait Primary School. There is fraud in the Ministry! Funds meant for free primary education in various districts are either deducted, sent in small bits and some is retained. Now that the Assistant ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to find out from the Assistant Minister why it takes so long for her Ministry to communicate with its officials on the ground? This money is for the last financial year! view

Those loans have now accrued interest to hundreds of thousands of July 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2573 shillings. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that these loans are written off, other than subjecting these farmers to suffering now that other farmers are being compensated? view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the Floor of the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Motion tends to paint police officers as being very miserable in their duties. Indeed, it is a result of the misery caused by the escalating cost of living that has made them compromise on their official duties. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will touch on the issue of housing for police officers in Amagoro Constituency. If you went to our major town; Malaba, all the parcel of land that was ... view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Most of them put on white plastic belts. If you look at them very closely, you will realise that even the caps they put on are made of plastic. Now that plastic bags have been banned in our Republic, I do not know what the Minister is going to do. That is because they have been mistreating our police officers by supplying them with very sub-standard shoes and torn undersize clothes which make them look awkward wherever they are on duty. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will find that, due to the low salaries that our police officers are paid, starting from the Officer Commanding Station (OCS)-- I like giving examples from my place. There is Malaba and Adungosi police stations. Junior police officer are summoned every morning and each is given a target. They are sent out to the field. They are told: "Go and patrol! But when you come back in the evening, you should come with, at least, Kshs10,000". That money will be given to the OCS and forwarded to the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD). I ... view

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister will just start from my home, because I am one of those victims whose water has been disconnected and the pipes are there. So is the whole of my village! So, he could start from there. He said that the Ministry has given Kshs4 million to the water supply. Considering that the extension works are very expensive, could the Assistant Minister consider allocating more money? This will ensure that other areas that fall under the municipality can get water. We have residents of Kenya who cross into Uganda to buy ... view
