• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We commend the Minister for giving the youth the money. Each constituency is receiving Kshs1 million. I would like to know from him how the microfinance institutions are going to be paid their commissions. Is it from the Kshs1 million that has been given to each constituency or will the Ministry pay them directly for handling the money for each constituency? view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I would like to commend the Minister for Finance for bringing before the House, and Kenyans, a very balanced Budget. Since this Government took over, we have seen quite a number of projects initiated all over the nation. Wherever you go, you can see roads being constructed and electricity cables installed. With the introduction of the Free Primary Education Programme, a number of students have enroled in primary schools. Even parents who were not able to take their children to school are now ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: long time ago. It is not yet completed. We would like the Ministry or the Office of the President to make sure that the district commissioners in the newly created districts and even those ones which do not have district headquarters are properly constructed to give the officers ample and good space to work from. They should not just be put in temporary structures, which shows that we are not ready to have such district headquarters. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Energy, as I had said earlier, has shown a very good indication of doing some work ... view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend the Government for introducing very many new districts but a number of them have no offices. Will the Assistant Minister allocate some money in this year's Budget to construct headquarters for these new districts to avoid what is happening now in Migori? view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not only Kigumo which has no piped water. Most of the towns have no piped water and we are not seeing any indication from the concerned Ministry that water is being supplied. However, I would like to know from the Ministry which arrangements they have put in place to have the sewer system in most of these towns, for example, Kigumo and Ogembo. People in these towns are using pit latrines. view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has answered the Question as if the problem exists in Migori only. Most of the projects which were started by the Ministry of Local Government all over the country have stalled. Examples include the ones in Kisii Municipal Council, Gucha, Nyamira and Kibirigo, just to name a few. It is evident that the Ministry does not understand what it is doing. What is the Assistant Minister going to do, to make sure that these projects are completed? view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, insecurity situation in Gucha and other districts of Gusii is so bad. In some places when it gets to around 6.00 p.m. our people, especially those who have small businesses in rural areas, prepare where to hide themselves. This indicates that the 1438 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 17, 2007 Government is not taking care of its own people. Given the fact that most criminals have moved from towns to rural areas, could the Assistant Minister arm all chiefs, assistant chiefs and the Administration Police officers, with sophisticated weapons, to enable them deal firmly with those criminals? They ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful to hear that the Ministry has received the money and, soon, it will disburse it to various schools. Who is going to supervise the spending of that money since the Ministry of Education does not have experts in the construction industry? view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in a number of co-operative societies, their officials make decisions without involving the shareholders. What is the Ministry going to do to make sure that the members are involved before any major changes are made in their co-operative societies? view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a number of our markets have no water or pit latrines. Could the Assistant Minister make sure that when the councils are allocating money, they should allocate in their budgets money for giving traders water and pit latrines? This will assist the traders. view
