• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion that has just been moved by hon. Prof. Olweny. The issue of children with special needs in Kenya needs real Government attention. This is because, I have been both a primary school teacher and a secondary school teacher. I know how difficult it is to take care of children with special needs. Currently, the Government is trying its level best, but I think the task ahead for the Government is too monumental to handle at ago. However, with proper planning, I think we can achieve a lot and see ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Transport:- (a) when the Busia Airstrip will be fully rehabilitated; and, (b) when the Ministry will construct railway crossings at Kajei-Malaba and Kiriko- Kamolo. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the railway line divides Teso District almost into two. So, it has made it very difficult for the population on one side to cross over to the other side because of Kenya Railways Corporation's regulations. Residents are being arrested day and night because they are not free to cross the railway line. Could the Ministry consider, because of the need of the people to cross from one part of Teso District to another, putting two railway crossings? It would only cost around Kshs100,000. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Ministry for availing the funds for the rehabilitation of the airstrip. However, previously, the money for the rehabilitation works was disbursed to the District Works Officer (DWO) in Busia District whereas the airstrip is in Teso District. Are there any measures that have been put in place this time to transfer this money to the District Works Officer in Teso and not the one in Busia? This is because he has been causing a lot of disharmony in the neighbouring district. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I wish to thank the Minister for having read a very good Speech whose vision or theme was: "Vision 2030: Working Together on the Path to Prosperity". The three pillars for the Vision 2030 were pegged on the economic, social and political pillars. The Minister expounded so much on the achievements of the Government on the economic path, social and even the political pillars. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our own observation, the Government has tried, compared to the past one, because I think the ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I am saying is that we vote money to State House and also to Office of the President. What I am saying is that the Head of State should not entertain people going there to blackmail other communities. The people should go there with an agenda, which represents their own people. I am saying this with bitterness because for you, you are represented very well there. People went there and talked very badly, and told the President that the Teso hate him, which is very wrong. We voted for His Excellency the President and ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: I am not imputing any improper motives. I am just trying to highlight what is likely to happen. I want to state on the Floor of this House that despite the Teso community being accommodative, that should not happen because it will lead to disaster in the region. My appeal is, let the people of Busia and Bungoma concentrate on where they belong and leave the Teso alone. When the Electoral Commission of Kenya goes round, let it go and find out the views of the people on the ground. It should go by those views. Let them not come ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the last registration of voters exercise before the next general election has started and that 15,485 people from Teso District, who applied for national identity cards since July, 2006 will not be able to register as voters as they have not been issued with the cards? (b) Could the Minister confirm that the identity cards for the applicants have been processed but are deliberately being withheld? (c) What urgent measures is the ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first I must thank the Vice-President for having opted to answer this Question because he is a great friend of the Teso and also my neighbour. Let me hope that, that is the truth because very soon the President will be in Teso. The truth of the matter is that the identity cards have been processed but only 200 have been taken to Teso District. Where are the rest? view
