• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this document of Vision 2030 was all inclusive. In fact, it was prepared from 2006. People from the district level up to the national level were involved. Even the academia and the Non-Governmental Organizations were involved. It is unfortunate that the Member says that he was not involved. If he was not involved, then I am sorry. I have, in fact, involved him. He was among the Members of Parliament who went to Mombasa and were taken through the document. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is a representative of the view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: . So, if he is aware, the wananchi should be aware through him. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, last week, I launched a campaign, which is already going on in the media, a formal campaign, to sensitive people on Vision 2030. We are now having a programme that will inform Kenyans about what is happening. At the moment, we are on the implementation of Vision 2030. I will be tabling a document, so that Members can know what this country has achieved through the Vision 2030. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very good question. However, I am a planner and not an implementer. Implementation is carried out by the line Ministries. My work is to plan and track the implementation and report. This is called monitoring and evaluation. That is my work. So, if there is any shortfall, especially on the employment of teachers, that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have clearly said that when this document was being prepared, all the stakeholders, including the Provincial Administration, were involved. I want him to confirm this by asking his own assistant chiefs and chiefs whether they understand Vision 2030. As I have said, we have gone ahead to sensitize them. We have had so many forums, including some for Members of Parliament. So, I do not know what more he expects me to do. I think I have done my part. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very good question. It is unfortunate that hon. Kioni never attended the sensitization workshop we had in Mombasa. That question came up and we agreed on it. It was one of the resolutions during that meeting that the document should be tabled in this House and be adopted, so that any future Government is bound by law to build on that particular document. I have already forwarded a Motion to the Speaker. So, it should be appearing on the Order Paper any time. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a different Question, but as I said earlier, I am going to table a report of how much we have achieved of Vision 2030 since we started implementation on 1st July, 2008. I promise that in January or February, I will table a report in this House to show what we have achieved and what we have not achieved and the reasons as to why we have not achieved certain objectives so far. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as soon as the document is adopted by this House, it will mean that it will be a document that will ensure development for the next 19 years. It will be up to the presidential aspirants to align their manifestos with the document. If they do not do so, their chances of winning the election will be very slim because it will be a requirement that they show that they understand what is contained in Vision 2030. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have promised that the document will be tabled in this House. He has brought another angle to the issue. What I have done is forwarding a Motion to the Speaker for adoption of the document by this House. If I bring a Bill, there will be delay because the Bill has to go through the Cabinet for approval. So, if that is the route this House wants me to go, then we should not expect it in February, because it has to go through the Cabinet for approval. view
