• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that some of the FIDA 412 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 4, 2007 women, like Ms. Ndung'u, are good--- view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise to the hon. Members present, including those who belong to FIDA. I also apologise to hon. Ndung'u because I do not have the evidence to table so far. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since this is a very important body to the public, let us add value to it. That is why I am insisting that there should be a criteria even though the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs vetted these people. I went through the minutes, but it seems it was done in such a hurry. Otherwise, I will not do what I had promised to do to hon. Muite during my earlier contribution. But, in future, hon. Members will gang up together and have at least a better way of appointing nominees ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President's Speech, which he read yesterday. Despite the present Government's few achievements, I would like us to ask ourselves some basic questions. I managed to go round the country during the recess period with some of the presidential candidates. Some of basic questions that people were asking about had to do with food, shelter, identity cards, seed for planting and about many more things. In Garsen, some people were asking us why the Government was allowing the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) to slaughter animals ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: are very desperate for services from the Government, but they cannot get them. Why did we moot idea of the CDF? It was not out of our wish. Had the Executive been delivering, no hon. Member would have been interested in the CDF. In fact, it looks so awkward when I am distributing bursary funds to students because I am surrounded by many people. We have the Provincial Administration and other staff in the district who should be able to identify the needy students from various schools. But because most of the Government departments and institutions have failed, some of ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not questioning the creation of new districts, but I am questioning the intention and timing. Definitely, people want to have services brought closer to them. My district, for example, was created about 10 to 15 years ago. view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the district was created, whether politically or not! However, it does not have buildings to house the officers and heads of departments. Our people have to travel all the way to Bungoma and Busia districts. There are many districts which are being created and yet, the Government cannot afford to post enough staff to run the already existing ones. Where are we heading to? Where is this Government taking us? The Government should create a few districts, staff them properly and move ahead. We are not objecting to the creation of new districts. In fact, I ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, my district is the richest in western Kenya. It might even be richer than Kisii District. That is why we have been fighting so hard to have our own jimbo called "Teso", so that we can get out of Western Province! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also thank His Excellency the President for creating the districts. In future, now that we have Teso District, we might also want our own 56 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 21, 2007 province. We want services from the provinces to reach our people very readily. That is ... view

• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are boarding schools supported by the parents and well-wishers. So, the issue of being converted does not arise. I am just seeking for little assistance from the Ministry. Supposing I brought this proposal on Monday, will the Ministry be ready to give me some little financial assistance? We have already passed it in the District Education Board (DEB). view
