• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support the allocation by the Exchequer to the Recurrent and Development Votes of the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security, which is under the Office of the President, it is prudent to accept the truth that when most people refer to Government, they actually tend to refer to the Office of the President, and especially to this Ministry. It follows, therefore, that this Ministry must project the face of the Government properly, right from the Headquarters to the provincial, district, divisional, locational and sub- locational levels. Everything must be proper, including ... view

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead the House that the Government does not have statistics of the disabled people in this country whereas we know that there are 3.2 million disabled people in this country? We also know where they are and the nature of their disabilities. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have authenticated statistics on the disability status in this country. We have reports from sub chiefs in every village in this country. I served in the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs and I know this. view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Ten per cent of Kenya's population is made up of disabled people. That, therefore, gives you the statistics that one out of every ten Kenyans is likely to be disabled. With those statistics, therefore, the chances that you, in this House, was to be disabled is one out of ten. That is a high chance, indeed. Nobody chooses to be born disabled. At the same time, nobody chooses to give birth to a disabled child. There is a chance that is equally distributed in all the population of this country. Therefore, there is ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware. (b) During the District Physical Planning Liaison Committee (DPPLC) meeting held under the chairmanship of the District Commissioner (DC), Migori, and attended by the Awendo County Council (ACC), it was unanimously agreed upon that due to the mistake done earlier by the surveyor, the hospital will be compensated an equivalent portion of land adjoining the hospital by the private developer. Thank you. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware. The important issue here is that, that anomaly on the allocation of land was done by a Government officer. The developer had gone ahead and constructed a primary school. He has agreed to give an equivalent portion of land to the hospital. Indeed, it is naive for me, as the Assistant Minister for Health, to refuse that good arrangement and save the two institutions for the benefit of the people of Rongo. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very wrong to accuse the developer of land grabbing when he was allocated that land by a Government surveyor. What we have done is to June 27, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2093 identify the anomaly and the parties have agreed to the mistake that was done. Indeed, Mr. Ochilo- Ayacko had a meeting with the DC, Rongo, on 26th June, 2007, and he is in agreement with the resolutions passed by the DPPLC. view
