• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. This is a Coalition Government. It involves a bloated Cabinet. About 55 per cent of the Members of Parliament are in the Government, whereas the other 50 per cent are Back benchers. You will find that some hon. Members are Members of two Committees and they also to have to August 7, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2465 attend sittings in Parliament. So, you will find that from Monday to Friday, Back benchers are usually in Parliament. They do not have time to go to their own constituencies. So, it is a ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the fact that school-going children are the most affected whenever there is famine, could the Minister consider re-introducing the School Feeding Programme (SFP), so that the children can stay in school? view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the contractor was the one who was supposed to maintain the diversion - and we have had reports of many cases of vehicles breaking down on that road - could the road users then go ahead and demand for compensation? Secondly, the section between Nyayo Stadium and City Cabanas has stalled and the equipment has been removed from site. Traffic jams are experienced on that section for almost one hour every morning and evening. They have also put a lot of stones on the sides of the road, hence creating more traffic jams on the road. view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also like to take this opportunity to support the Speech made by the Minister for Finance. I wish to note the following points. I appreciate the allocation of around Kshs65 billion to the road sector. I support the proposed establishment of the Contractors Regulatory Board. I support the proposal that any contractor who wins an award to construct a particular road should sign a performance contract. That way, construction of roads will be completed according to the schedule. We find that contractors tender for many kilometres of roads which takes them a lot ... view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: We would easily avail the funds to all the youths in our constituencies. Turning to the energy sector, it is good that the Minister increased the allocation for the Rural Electrification Programme. I wish to state that even with that effort, majority of Kenyans cannot still afford to install power in their homes. Even with the quotation of Kshs32,480 which is to be paid by people who are staying not more than 600 metres away from a power point, as the lowest average quotation available, it is still an amount that most Kenyans cannot afford. I suggest that since the ... view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that some students who are candidates in Form Four were not able to register for examinations because they had fees arrears? They were required to clear fees arrears before they could register for examinations. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, does the Ministry have any plans to start producing fertiliser locally, in Kenya, as a long-term solution to this problem? view
• 13 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My names are Dr. Victor Kioko Munyaka, the Member of Parliament for Machakos Town Constituency. First, I would like to thank the electorate of Machakos Town Constituency for electing me as their new Member of Parliament. I also wish to congratulate all Members of Parliament who made it to the Tenth Parliament. I also want to talk about the President's Speech and note that the violence that erupted in our country made us learn many lessons. First, I am concerned about police brutality. There are some cases where the police conducted themselves in ... view
• 13 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that the youth of this country make up 70 per cent of the population. Most of them are unemployed. We know that jobs may not be enough for all of them. But there exists the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. I suggest that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund should be increased to create self-employment. That is because most of our youth are beyond the status of getting employed. That way, we can improve our Jua Kali sector. At the same time, there is a group of Kenyan citizens who are usually forgotten. Those are ... view
