• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that he has no answers to some of the questions. Could I ask him to kindly be specific on the criteria that is used so that, if it is population, it should so many people within a location? If it is a question of geographical size, what area determines to be given a location? That will prevent the people from going to their offices to lobby. As you know, during the KANU days, people were given districts on the basis of how they were “KANU mama or KANU ... view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is contradicting himself. He is saying that the 3,000 is the number, and then he goes ahead and puts conditions that they cannot be three in a district. If a district has 20,000 people, then the criteria of 3,000 will follow. Could we ask the Assistant Minister, through you, to go back and come with a proper answer, so that he can satisfy this Question? In any event, he has accepted that in Mr. K. Kilonzo’s Constituency, they are there but he has not gazetted them. When will he gazette them? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want to be seen to be a nuisance to the House, but when hon. Members are called for their Questions and they are absent, Questions are dropped. However, when the Ministers are called and they are not in, they simply get away with it. Could we get the indulgence of the Chair to make sure that Ministers that are not here are punished accordingly? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The last bit of that Question was not answered and the Assistant Minister is dodging it. The issue of what he is going to do now--- Even if you give him a chance to go to the lounge and watch Citizen Television, the programme is running now. He is not telling the country what he is going to do now. It is not about the future, but now. view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development whether she could provide a list of all the current beneficiaries of the “Cash Transfer to Older Persons” Programme in Juja Constituency and state how often the funds are disbursed to them. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the answer and indeed, she gave me a list earlier. Having looked at the list, Juja Constituency has three districts and this programme seems to concentrate on only one district. Would I be in order to ask the Minister to help the House in understanding the criteria used by the Ministry to identify the elderly persons? For example, in Githurai and Ruiru divisions which are in Ruiru District, women and men who are very old always line up in my office wanting to know why they are discriminated against. As you ... view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a sad day, where the House seems to sanction breaching of the Constitution in terms of discrimination. We are sitting here, allowing the Minister to continue discriminating against the elderly people in this country--- view
