• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: on behalf of view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the projects the Assistant Minister has talked about were approved way back in 2003 and to date, no work has commenced. This has been attributed to the poor contractors who have been awarded tenders in Western Province in general and in Kisumu which is in Nyanza Province. What will the Assistant Minister do to ensure that the contractors who were awarded tenders to Jera and Simero markets have the ability to do the work? view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has just conceded that contractors were awarded more tenders than they can handle. This is one of the problems we are facing in Western and Nyanza provinces. When will the Assistant Minister assess and approve the new contractors he has engaged so that tenders awarded to the earlier contractors who are very incompetent, lack financial base and cannot undertake any works so far can be off-loaded? view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on the Budget Speech. Once more, a Budget Speech has been read, just like the previous one for the last financial year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like any other hon. Member, you will realize that as this Budget is read, very little trickles down to the ground. I will give a few examples to illustrate my point. When I came to Parliament, my district had no courts of law. We have been allocating a lot of money to the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: My people have to travel all the way to Bungoma or Busia in order to be served by the courts of law. I appreciate that this year, the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs is getting quite a lot of money. The people of Teso District should, at least, be given a mobile court. I would appreciate if they would be given a fully fledged court of law. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as things appear now, it is unlikely that we shall have a new Constitution before the next General Elections. There are certain Constitutional amendments that have to ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: by the end of June, 2006, which is in the next three days. So, the ECK has listened to the views of the wananchi with regard to adjustment to boundaries, the number of constituencies and their names. The only thing remaining is the limitation in the Constitution that we have to expand. I appeal to the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, because we foresee no possibility of getting a new Constitution before the next General Elections, to move very fast and bring an amendment to Section 42(2). Failure to do this, I will personally take the initiative to bring ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kenneth is comfortable because he is "eating". He comes from an ethnic group which has almost 10 Cabinet Ministers, 15 Assistant Ministers, 20 ambassadors and many other senior Government officials. So, he is very comfortable. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that they are "eating" taxpayers' money. Most of it goes to the hon. Member's region. So, I need not substantiate. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, my appeal to the Government to add us one constituency so that we can also feel represented in this House. My people should also be appointed to serve in this Government because they are Kenyans. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, personally, I am very satisfied being a Member of Parliament, but my people should be appointed to serve the Government in other capacities. There should be Permanent Secretaries, Under Secretaries and Provincial Commissioners from my constituency in this Government. If you do so, you will make us feel--- view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my people will be comfortable if 1706 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 28, 2006 they are given a chance to enjoy the national cake being enjoyed by other Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I told the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs last week that the senior-most Government official to have ever been appointed by this Government from my community is a chief. She believed it and promised to talk to the President to give us something in the next reshuffle. Therefore, it is my appeal to the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs to also ... view
