• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am very happy that the Leader of Government Business is here. This is a straightforward Question. It is an issue which we have been debating in Parliament. We have been following up the issue of the certificates. The Minister, being the Secretary-General of the party, I thought he could take up this matter and help us. It is just a matter of releasing certificates belonging to those young people. In fact, yesterday, I got a call from one of the students. He told me that in 2009, they were not given certificates. They were, ... view
• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. In fact, I want to remind him that it is the school he came to do a Harambee some time back. So, it is something that he should be able to assist. view
• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee and to support their recommendations. This Parliament has done a lot in terms of such reports where hon. Members have gone out, in their respective committees, to come up with reports. We have similar situations like the one for the Masinde Muliro University versus the Kakamega Forest. We have a problem of land ownership at the Maragoli Forest. There is even another Report that we did on Syokimau. I think the Government will still be in place and these are the kind of things it should follow ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the report and congratulate the Committee for the work done. Previously, the PSC has been composed of people who had just been handpicked by the Executive. They were involved in interviewing and recruiting public servants. But this time, the process has been reversed. The Commissioners have had to undergo a process they will subject others. That is recruitment through interviews and now vetting. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some hon. Members are talking about young people. I would like to encourage these Commissioners when they take office to ensure ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, based on her line of argument, the NGOs have received money on behalf of Kenyans; for example, in the sector of education when the British Government was not able to fund certain programmes because of corruption. So, it was for Kenyans. However, I just want to appreciate the work that is being done by the Kenya Red Cross because we have channeled money to fight the jigger menace in Vihiga through the organization. What measures has the Minister put in place so that the activities of the Kenya Red Cross are made known to Kenyans since they ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister is not getting what I am saying. I am talking about the place where they worked which lacked facilities. It was just ad hoc environment. Can we create an enabling environment so that it is known all over the country that the Kenya Red Cross exists so that we do not just wait when there is a crisis? view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer the Assistant Minister gave in the previous question I think is because of proactiveness on behalf of the Government because when you make changes--- Kenyans have been yearning for improvement in their lives. This is expected from the Government. So, the answers you have given earlier are rather statistic. Are there mechanisms being put in place where all of these can be view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that Hamuyundi Primary School in Vihiga County is yet to acquire a title deed/lease for the parcel of land it stands on; (b) when the school will be issued with a title deed/lease; and, (c) whether he is also aware that many schools in the county are in the same predicament. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has taken a long time for this process to be accomplished. In fact, I think it is because of the Question going round and round. On part (b) of the Question, could the Assistant Minister furnish the truth that this letter of allotment was received to enable a follow up action? view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister: When the payment is made, how long is this process likely to take? view
