• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Shakeel was seeking for your guidance on the matter. He was not addressing his question to the Assistant Minister. He requested the Chair to refer this matter to the relevant departmental Committee. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you listened to what Mr. Musyimi was asking, it was about insufficient funds. The Assistant Minister has already explained the scope of work. Is the Kshs60 million sufficient? In his layman’s view, Mr. Musyimi has said that about Kshs300 million will be enough to do that road. Could he address that issue? He is out of order to explain what we already know. Is he in order to avoid the question? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support this very important Motion, because it touches on a number of aspects. We are talking about the youth being the largest in terms of proportion, making over 70 per cent of our population. Once we are able to be innovative through things like this Motion by Mr. Wamalwa---. This is just one of the aspects that we need to adopt as innovations to be able to cater for the increasing number of unemployed youth. There are a few things I have observed. First of all in this debate I do ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law will also enable us designate places even in market centers. When they are scattered all over the market place, they seem to be a nuisance, which should not be the case. I think it is like that because there is no regulation. If they are put in designated places in market centers, and anybody who wants to use the motor cycles knows where to access them, then it would be convenient to all of us. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of insurance. There are side effects when passengers are carried, whereas the boda boda operators do not take responsibility. In the event of an accident, they ride off. I think this happens because they know that they are not covered. But if there is insurance covering both the passenger and the rider, I think they would take responsibility. This is an issue we need to explore, for example, through the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), so that it is subsidized. The premiums are too high and that is why so many people have been discouraged ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should have recognized driving schools where all the operators can go, like I have heard from some of my colleagues who are already paying for some of them to attend those driving schools. They must, however, be those that can offer proper training. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this problem is not only confined to Emuhaya. Insecurity is now a countrywide problem. About three weeks ago at a Chango Secondary School, a teacher and his family were attacked. Last week on Thursday night, Keveye Secondary School and Vokoli Secondary School were attacked by thugs. So, when the Assistant Minister says that there is no insecurity in Emuhaya Constituency, I think he is misinformed. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that he stems this problem which is now becoming rampant in Vihiga County? view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has made reference to human error, but he has not specified the aspects of human error involved. The design is also not good, because the road should be a bit wider. Also, because of the trucks that park there, there is obstruction. Why can the Assistant Minister not consider providing some kind of space where the trucks can park, so that they can leave the road clear? view
