• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, information on disasters is very important. I wish to know from the Assistant Minister whether there are plans to carry out an intensive inventory of all the disaster-prone areas in this country so that this information can be readily available to Kenyans and Kenyans can know which areas are prone to which disaster so that they can be able to take earlier preventive measures. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security - (a) whether he is aware that due to lack of enforcement of Legal Notice No. 173 of 2nd December, 2009 on rules for motorcycle riders, many Kenyans have lost their lives while others have sustained serious injuries through “boda boda” motorcycle transport system; and (b) what urgent and stern measures he is taking to enforce the rules. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer that has been given by the Assistant Minister, if you recall, I asked a Question in this House two weeks ago to the Minister for Transport, as to why we were having an increase in accidents through the motorcycle transport system. The Minister for Transport gave a very comprehensive answer and said that he has gazetted rules and regulations to control the motorcycle transport system. Now, given the answer the Assistant Minister has given to me, he is confirming that--- view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why are accidents from motorcycles increasing despite the Assistant Minister saying that they have increased their surveillance to control this menace? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the Assistant Minister is saying; that he is going to take stern measures to ensure that laws are followed. Could he assure this House that he will make sure that those boda boda riders who carry more than one passenger are punished and also those passengers who agree to be carried on the motorcycle when there is more than one passenger are also punished? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the road in question is very important to this country. This is the road that takes all our tourists to Maasai Mara Game Reserve which is the most important reserve in this country. The Assistant Minister has said that he has allocated Kshs200 million towards the reconstruction of this road. This money is very little that, in my opinion, it will not make an impact to that road. Why did the Ministry decide to allocate only Kshs200 million when the road requires more than Kshs1 billion? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology - (a) why the management of Maseno University irregularly procured a house in Kisumu from Mr. Jaswant Singh and Mrs. Harjeet Kaur Sokhi at a cost of Kshs.125 million even when the expenditure was not in the approved budget for the university for the year 2010/2011; b) to explain why the final payment of Kshs.112,000,000 was paid directly to the vendor and not through their advocate and whether the university will be required to pay the vendor’s lawyers separately; and, (c) whether the property was valued by a competent valuer and ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the comprehensive answer he has given me on this Question. I have looked at the documents he has tabled. I have not had time to interrogate them, but I am partially satisfied. However, I still have a few questions to ask him. I wish to know why the money that was supposed to be paid to the lawyer was paid directly to the vendor. The agreement was that the university would pay the money directly to the lawyer and then the lawyer would remit the money to the ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to table a letter which shows that the university paid the fees for the lawyer when actually it should have been paid by the seller. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realise from the Assistant Minister’s answer that the university has been operating without the University Council for quite some time now. The university is operating only using the Executive Committee, which consists of only three people. When is the Ministry going to appoint members of the University Council, so that we can be sure that all transactions in the university are done in a transparent manner and that ensures more representation? view
