• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has been articulating so much about the girl-child education. The last four schools mentioned in the Question regard girls. The issue I am raising is about the high school dropout rate of the girls. Could she consider funding the schools on humanitarian grounds and as a champion of girl-child education this year? I will come with the DEO next week to present you with the proposal. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Assistant Minister has emphasised that anonymous testing is for survey purposes only. However, is there any provision, if this Bill comes into law, that if the results go out other than for survey purposes, what penalty is provided for the person who leaks out this information? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not satisfied with that answer. I might be seeking employment and then I am tested anonymously and that information is provided to the employer. What penalty do you provide to protect--- view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Administration and National Security:- (a) whether he is aware that Mr. Bonface Osere Okwore, Police Constable No.73584, was killed at Malava while on duty on 15.4.2004; (b) whether he is further aware that despite all relevant documents having been submitted, the late Okwore's terminal dues have not been processed and paid; and, (c) what urgent measures he is taking to ensure that the late Okwore's terminal dues are paid. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, as far as I am concerned, all the documents were submitted and the OCPD of the area verified that. We have documents to show that. In that case, what documents does the Assistant Minister need and if they are all presented, when can they be processed so that the family members can get their terminal dues? This process started in 2004. Today, we are in the year 2006! view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, there is a dispute between the father and the wife of the deceased. However, the problem is not with the documents. The father of the deceased did a lot of work in educating his son. The son got a wife from elsewhere, but when the deceased died, she went away. In such circumstances is there a way that we can arbitrate between the two because they might not agree on the issue of the benefits? view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. First of all, I wish to support the Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must pay tribute to my party, the Liberal Democratic Party, for having appointed me to serve in this Committee when this Parliament started. I also wish to thank the other parties which supported me in the election of Mr. Omingo to chair the Public Accounts Committee. In the course of our work, we faced a very technical problem because these irregular expenditures were incurred by the previous regime, ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: And that is the very man they were trying to propel to the position of Leader of the Official Opposition! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the man undertook very imaginary renovations of the KICC. If I may quote the figures involved, the Ministry's allocation for renovation of the KICC in the year 1998/99 was K£167,863. However, the Appropriation Account for Vote R09, which was the Ministry's Vote, as at 30th June, 1999, showed an expenditure of K£1,249,974 incurred against this Item. You can imagine that magnitude of variation against the approved estimate of K£167,863. There was an over-expenditure of close ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Fortunately, hon. Wamwere denied this allegation because he was nowhere near East Africa at that time. So, what was the Office of the President then doing with all this money? This was just a clear case of misappropriation of public funds, and the characters who are involved in all this have been revealed in the Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our Report again, we looked at the Prisons Department and, in particular, we singled out Shikusa Prison in Kakamega. This was a case of free- for-all. The prison warders were the purchasing officers. They were in charge of ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Administration and National Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that part of Teso District has been hived off and annexed to Busia District to expand Matayos Division? (b) If the answer to "a" above is in the affirmative, how was the decision arrived at? (c) What urgent measures is the Minister taking to forestall skirmishes that might arise as a result of "a" above? view
