• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether you understood what the Assistant Minister is attempting to say. He is attempting to tell the House that a Kenyan citizen cannot leave Saudi Arabia because she does not have an exit visa yet he confirms that she ran away from her employment in Saudia because of harassment. The second part of my question is: Why has the Ministry not intervened to get this Kenyan to come back home? He has not answered that question. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife:- (a) why Ms Emmaculate Wanjiku Kariuki and Mr. Wilson Kariuki Gathuthi, the proprietors of Perfect Farms Limited, have not been paid the Kshs.964,550 due to them for the destruction caused on their farm by hippos despite an official Damage Assessment Report having been prepared by the Government; and, (b) when the Ministry will compensate them. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter of human/wildlife conflict comes to this House every other day. It is so ridiculous to hear the Assistant Minister say one can only be compensated for human injury or death. It is like the Government is wishing the people who suffer from human/wildlife conflict death, so that they are compensated. He further says they are in the process of amending the law. In the past, we have had cases where coffee farmers in Central Kenya and other places have been compensated for loss of crop. Could the Government consider compensating people who have lost ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a very sad matter when a young Kenyan girl is in the streets of Saudi Arabia. Her only problem is that she does not have travel documents. The Assistant Minister comes and tells the House--- view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a young lady who is a Kenyan citizen is out there in the cold and the Ministry is not able to even give ex-gratia allowances for her to wait for whatever it is this Ministry is doing. I have a letter here written by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Embassy in Saudi Arabia on 6th September, 2010. What is it that the Ministry is doing? When will the Ministry bring Ms. Muchiri home? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my second question was very clear. When will the Ministry facilitate Irene to come home? They are saying in the letter that it is due to her passport that she is not able to come home because it is held by her former employer. However, on the Floor of the House, the Assistant Minister has now brought a second reason that she does not have an exit visa. When will the Ministry facilitate Irene to come home? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We can hardly hear what the Minister is saying because of consultations that are going on here. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you heard the Assistant Minister, he clearly said that if he were to give the number of recruits for this year to this House, he will be disclosing the strength of the armed forces in the country. He wants to hide under the issue of secrecy. It is not the strength of the entire armed forces that we are asking. We are asking only about the breakdown of a figure that he has already given. If you go to the Standing Order, 43 (11), it says: “A Question shall not seek information which, by ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A similar situation happened on Thursday where so many Questions were deferred in a similar manner and the Chair then ruled that they would be given priority, but they did not appear today. So, I am not sure what is going to happen to the Questions that are queuing now from Questions that have been deferred. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you verify the document that the able Assistant Minister is talking about, part of the question has not been answered. The question that has not been answered is: How did the police get involved in a civil matter regardless of the order or no order? How did they get involved? He is able to answer that question. view
