• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: With those very few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Treasury has finalized discussions with the Ministry of Education on the modalities of implementing this program and it was found necessary to develop comprehensive guidelines for implementation of the program before these funds are disbursed. Given that this program was brought to Parliament and passed under the budget Vote of the Ministry of Education, I did not consider it prudent to channel the funds through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) mechanism since the Ministry of Education is obliged to carry out the critical co-ordination role. A change of mechanism of disbursement ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate the question by the hon. Member, it is the Ministry of Education that will really look into these particular modalities and not the Ministry of Finance. I think that question would be more appropriately directed at the Ministry of Education as they continue with their discussions with the CDF Committee. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I said is that we have discussed this issue with the Ministry of Education and we have agreed that the Ministry of Education, in consultation with the CDF Committee, will deliberate on the modalities of implementing this program. I think that is what I said; that, we have agreed with the Ministry of Education that they will agree on the modalities of implementation with the CDF Committee view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are no rules that have been changed. Precisely, for the same reason of our inability to implement the previous one as a result of the fact that hon. Members did not particularly like the way we had designed the last one. This is why we agreed with the Ministry of Education that they should work with the relevant Committee in order to come up with a proper modality that is agreed upon by all hon. Members through the relevant Committee. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the question, the key issue we need to recognize is that we designed this particular program in a manner that creates involvement at the grassroots level. This is why we may have our own way of doing it, but we thought that it is wise to consult hon. Members through their Committee so that we can have a framework that is acceptable. It has taken time, but I appreciate the fact that, that is an ongoing discussion and I really do not want to terminate that discussion. I think that for us, it is ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the amount of money allocated is there. The decision, like I am saying, is awaiting those discussions that are ongoing between the Ministry of Education as the implementing agency and the CDF Committee. So, once those deliberations are over, we will know the process and when this will actually happen. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Mr. Erned Onduso Obwocha and Mr. Harrison Buyuka Ateyi filed court cases against the Government and the court ruled that they be paid Kshs845,335 and Kshs639,882, respectively. However, I am also aware that the court ruling goes against the Cabinet decision of 18th May, 1998, which directed that the Judiciary pensions be paid based on the prevailing civil service salaries. (b) There was no inordinate delay in the payment of the two successful plaints’ pensions. Mr. Obwocha retired on 1st July, 1997, and his pension was paid with ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
