• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, roads in the whole country are in dire need of repairs due to the escalating rains. We usually have an Emergency Fund in the Ministry that is used for this kind of work which is completely inadequate taking cognizance of the amount of the rain we received this year. However, we have to curtail some projects when funding to handle the emergencies that may need to be looked into urgently. It is true Migori and Gwassi share the same soil infrastructure, namely, acid type of soil, and we have a major problem in this area. ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of the roads that are constructed are constructed under the specifications given to the contractor and are examined as so. So, I may not be able to know what the Member means by compromised quality. But I will be happy if he would furnish me with information on a road that he thinks was not built according to specifications. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: I have instructed all Constituency Road Committees to furnish the headquarters with a report of their road infrastructure and the amount of destruction that has been caused by the rains. Already, I am receiving reports and I will take action. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly, I have not blamed God anywhere in my answer. Indeed, I think, sometimes, God gets confused on what Kenyans want. When there is a lot of rain, we cry and pray for sunshine. When there is drought, we cry and pray for rains. I may not defend the people who are inadequate in their knowledge on design. It is true that, over the years, we have had such characters designing some of the roads. We have taken cognisance of the fact and we are addressing it. view

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have not called for the Official Government Responder and you have realised that nobody has stood up to respond. It is not quite in order for hon. Members to complain or be agitated about who is going to be the Government Responder. Let us wait for that time. When you call for the Government Responder, he will stand up. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Naibu Spika wa Muda, nimeshukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Ni aibu kwamba tangu mwaka wa 1997 hadi mwaka wa 2003, marupurupu ya kustaafu kwa walimu hayajaanza kulipwa. Ni vibaya kabisa kwamba sisi, ambao view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, ni vizuri. Ninakubaliana na korti kwa sababu ni haki yao. Lazima wanyonge wapewe haki yao. Iwapo jambo kama hilo haliwezi kutiliwa maanani, ni jambo la vurugu, aibu na la laana. Ninafikiri hata sasa Waziri wa Elimu aliye hapa sasa Hoja hii inasema kwamba Kshs3.34 bilioni zinangoja fikira ya Mkuu wa Sheria. Hawakutoa mawazo ya kukataa au kukubali. Ni fikira zake tu. Kwani kupata fikira kuna shida gani? Kuna shida gani kupata fikira za Mkuu was Sheria? Pata hizo fikira. Mawazo yake hayawezi kutufunga sisi kama Bunge. Uamuzi umepitishwa kwamba hizi hela zilipwe walimu. Sitaki kusema ... view
