• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the problem which the Ministry has, which the Assistant Minister knows about, is that they are not getting adequate information from the field officers on what is going on. This is one case of a road, and hon. Odhiambo has raised another one. There is even the one of Luanda-Majengo, which they told us that the contractor was on site. I went there to check and found that the Kshs45 million that they had given last year had been paid, but the contractor had only patched three kilometers and gone away, but the Ministry ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Bill. I also want to join my colleagues in congratulating the Minister for being part of the major reforms that we are undertaking in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have not achieved much in the democratization process which started a while ago because of some of the aspects that have not been addressed, particularly an issue like this one. But I really like the aspect of the code of conduct in this Bill. What has happened in this country has been the aspect of enforcement and I ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill and wish the Minister well in the reforms that are taking place. He should take into account the comments that have been made by the hon. Members, in as far as improving this document is concerned. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion which is long overdue. I want to congratulate the hon. Member for Rarieda, Eng. Gumbo, for bringing this Motion which is trying to create a balance so that there is fair treatment of all the youngsters in the country, that is, both girls and boys. This is a basic need. When we talk about a basic need to a human being, this is one of the most important aspects. I am happy that the new Constitution is trying to address most of the problems that we had before. ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think when he comes, it should be stressed to him that it is the view of hon. Members that this Motion should be addressed by his Ministry immediately. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to suggest that there has to be adequate funding. I know that the Government over the years has allocated a lot of funds to various schemes which are meant to reduce or eradicate poverty, improve the health of Kenyans, the welfare of Kenyans and so on. The problem has been how this money is channeled to the needy ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to the contribution that Mrs. Shebesh was making which was very valuable; in fact, she was talking from practical experience. That is what I expect. I am not casting any aspersions. I am saying they should be at the forefront in assisting this Motion. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I want to support what Mrs. Shebesh is saying. I would like them to get the information that we are supporting this Motion. We have talked about the issue of dignity, privacy and a number of issues. Some of the issues that have been addressed here, I do not think any man would have addressed them better. I am saying let them be at the forefront. They are the ones who are going to do the pilot scheme. They should be the ones leading us in taking these sanitary pads to schools. That ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. I think this Motion is very important. This measure should have been in place a long time ago. If you look at what is happening in this country, even at the moment, leave alone this issue of petroleum products; if you look at what is happening to the price of sugar--- Yesterday I came to learn that sugar is now costing Kshs180 per kilogramme. This means that two kilogrammes retail at Kshs360. It is impossible. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: The people who have been charged with the responsibility of taking care of the Kenyans in this case, the Government, they are not people-welfare oriented. I think we have to start by having the right people; that is people who care about the welfare of Kenyans in these Ministries. I do not know what criteria we will use now that we have got a new Constitution in selecting the people. We do not know whether whoever will be President will choose people who can have the welfare of Kenyans at heart first. If you look at Kenya Power, when they ... view
