• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On the action being taken on the staff involved, I have already held a meeting with the Minister in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security. You will note that in those areas, we used the Provincial Administration. We used chiefs, assistant chiefs and DOs. Investigations will be undertaken and any staff who will be seen to have colluded--- view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, action will be taken on any staff who will be found out to have colluded. On the clarification sought by hon. Ethuro, I would like to say the following: By canceling the results, we are not marginalizing them. In essence, we are recognizing that they are there and they should be counted properly. In fact, in Lagdera, the number is well below the projections. That is why we cancelled the results. We want to go and confirm the right number. So, how are we marginalizing them when we feel that the number is low and it is ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On separation of Subas and Luos, there was a questionnaire asking for your tribe. So, there are those who said they are Suba and others said they are Luo. That is now up to him to go and sensitize his people that in future, when they are asked about their tribe, they say they are Luo. That is what they answered. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On the non-payment issue raised by Dr. Khalwale, this has been a problem with the Ministry. I must admit that it has been a challenge. In fact, once I was on air and I gave my own number. About 200 people called me. So far, the dues of those people who called me have been processed. But the problem has been that quite a number of people who were involved in this exercise gave incomplete information. For example, you will find that a lady was involved in the exercise but when she gave her account number, she gives that of ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Can I see the statement that he has read? view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of repeating the exercise, I will engage the Members of Parliament from that region and we will agree on the appropriate time. You can see one hon. Member says that we have to do it when it is raining so that the pastoralists are there. This is something over which we have to engage the Members of Parliament from that area. However, on what we will do in the interim time, we will use projected figures. If you looked at the projected figures, you would find that the margin error is just three percent. ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member is missing the point. If you followed my argument, I have given five and the ratio of men to women is just one of them. If you look at Mandera West figures, males are 174,807 and females are 144,969. You can also see Mandera East figures. They are all there. So, that is just one of the reasons we are repeating this exercise. There are other reasons that I have enumerated them. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have even tabulated tables here that I have not gone through. Hon. Members are free to look at the tables that we have tabulated. These are some of the reasons we decide to repeat this particular exercise in those areas. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Speaker do now leave the Chair to enable me to introduce debate on Vote 06 – Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: I wish to express my gratitude for the opportunity accorded to me to move the Vote R6 and D6 for the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. From the onset, I wish to record my appreciation to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning, Trade and Tourism for its continued support to the Ministry on matters of planning and finance. The Ministry appreciates the guidance and rigorous review of the Ministry’s work, performance and challenges, especially as it relates to financial constraints. view
