• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Sessional Paper on Gender Equality and Development. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Assistant Minister has said, the Paper tends to summarise and mainstream issues to do with women. Women have been seen to be at the periphery, whereas men enjoy everything. The men have all the economic, political, educational, cultural and historical powers. It has not been by choice that women have been at the periphery. But if you went point by point, for instance, and looked at the cultural aspect, you ... view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will continue, but I will declare my interest later. I was saying that the organisation I am talking about has 10 or so women who purport to be representing women. However, they are not representing women as such. view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a free Kenyan, I am free to declare my interest. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I used to have a wife those days. However, there are merchants of evil and hate in the name of Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) who came and convinced this woman that, "if you apply this and that law, you would get two-thirds of your husband's salary, and if you took his child to the street, you would get Kshs70,000 from his salary too". My child, who was named after my father, Lawrence Oja Ojaamong, was plucked out of my ... view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that would be the case if I mentioned an hon. Member by name. What I am saying is that women inside here have even taken us for a seminar to tell us about women issues and the way forward. Four years down the line, what have they done? They have done totally nothing. I know His Excellency Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs knows more about women issued than the Deputy Leader of the Government Business, because he is an experienced man. He has acquired experience. What I am saying is that men tend to ... view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is pointless for the Minister to keep on dwelling on FIDA. The organisation's record is known countrywide. She should, at least, excuse us from that. I can table here documents of people who have suffered and children who have been rendered destitute because of the organisation's activities. Could the Minister, please, excuse us on that? view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Is it in order for the Minister to keep on dwelling on the FIDA issue? There are very many issues that she can address. view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kshs180,000, which was meant for dispensaries and for the two health centres was, indeed, sent. However, as the area Member of Parliament, I saw some painting being done in one of the dispensaries. That is work that was valued at Kshs20,000. What will you do to ensure that the money that was misappropriated is returned because it is true? view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I want to thank the Government for having initiated some projects which have actually changed the lives of my people in Teso Constituency. However, I hope the Government will not stop there. I hope that the Government will continue with its efforts to develop my constituency. I, therefore, would like to appeal to the Minister for Roads and Public Works, who never allocated my district any money in his budget, to try and look for any kitty in his Ministry ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to get a clarification on Item 3111100 - Purchase of Specialised Plant, Equipment and Machinery. Which are these machines that the Ministry is going to purchase? I have heard from my councillors that the Ministry intends to purchase graders. Do they come under this? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Midiwo. view
