• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion and to congratulate Dr. Otichilo for bringing this Motion. This Motion is important arising from what has just happened in this country where we are raising money to save Kenyans who are affected by severe drought. I think we are very insensitive to predicaments as a Government. This is the reason why these kind of Motions come to the House. Somebody said the other day that somebody must have been sleeping on the job and that is why Kenyans are dying and yet we are doing nothing. Even ... view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I appreciate the work that the Minister is doing. What we are asking is why he would go there to talk about water that we are losing when we have a Minister for Water. With due respect to the Minister, one of the main reasons as to why we are saying that the project must be stopped is that no environmental and social impact assessment was carried out. What is affecting Kenya today is also affecting our neighbours. The drought that is ravaging Kenya today is also affecting Ethiopia and Somalia. So, it ... view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: That is what is in the Motion; ten metres. The Ministers are getting agitated for nothing. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is already a major problem in this country, and it is important that we address it. I am happy that we have the Implementation Committee of Parliament to deal with this kind of situation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other day we passed a Motion on education. You saw the resistance we received from the Government, in terms of implementation. The new Constitution has given us, as Kenyans, an opportunity to re- examine ourselves. The Constitution has given opportunity to people in all those areas in Kenya to re-examine themselves and see how ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, year in, year out, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation votes out money for projects like the one that the Minister has just stated here. But I would like to know what contingent measures the Ministry has put in place for the proper utilization of this money, particularly when it comes to designs. This is because they have been known to design pipes which eventually blow up under pressure. What contingent measures have you put in place to make sure that the money is properly utilized? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has just said that he is based in Nairobi and he does not know what is happening down there. Could he give an undertaking to this House that he will go there and find out what is happening? There is no need for him to stay here and yet, he has officers there and he cannot even communicate with the officers? Is he in order? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has on several occasions made assurances to this House that he is taking action on what is going on about insecurity. It is now too much. About two months ago, I raised an issue about Vihiga where an assistant chief was killed at Mudete Market. I do not know what action the Assistant Minister has taken now because the cases have come up again. There has been a lot of crime within the last two weeks around Majengo in Central Maragoli Location of Vihiga. view

• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe you did not listen. If you look at the HANSARD, you will find that the Assistant Minister keeps on saying that there will be no stone will be left unturned. We wanted a comprehensive statement--- view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister says all the time that no stone will be left unturned. Is he in order to keep on repeating that without bringing a comprehensive information on what action he is taking? view
