• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: “I wish the hon. Member could accept the last week of June as the firm target that I have given to the teams that are working there to deliver a working factory.” view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that scenario, I am totally disappointed and amazed that we are now in August and the factory has not been re-opened and I have not been advised on yet another date of re-opening. I now seek your indulgence that the Minister issues a Ministerial Statement showing a firm work-plan and, yet again, clearly indicating the exact date of opening the factory within this firm work-plan. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not happy with that because it is well over a month. He gave a firm date as the end of June, so I do not see why he needs another week to give the Statement. I would have preferred that he gives the Statement this week, if it is possible. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to thank the Prime Minister for the very serious Ministerial Statement he has issued on what everybody knows is a matter of life of death in this country. The Prime Minister has talked a lot on, mainly, the Mau Forest. In other areas, we are told that the forest cover in this country, which used to be at least 10 per cent, is now about 1.7 per cent. This is not due to the destruction of the Mau Forest only. There are other areas that the Prime ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise here to support the Motion. The Budget that was read by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance was both inspiring and visionary. The Budget has put emphasis on the constituencies which are focal points for development. Therefore, the constituencies have a lot more in play with regard to the current proposed Budget. To me, this Budget is a reflection of devolution which is something we have been crying for, for many years. Devolution comes with a lot of responsibilities in terms of management. I do not want to take long on ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Minister for Industrialization the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister table the findings and recommendations of the Task Force constituted by the Government to investigate the closing down of Pan African Paper Mills in Webuye? (b) When will the employees who were in employment at the time of closure, and who were not compensated, receive their compensation? (c) Could the Minister confirm that the factory will re-open on 1st June, 2009 as promised by the Government? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while thanking the Assistant Minister for that answer, I need some clarifications on each of the points that he has raised. On part (a) of the Question, I asked him to table the recommendations of the Task Force. I would like to know why he has avoided tabling the recommendations of the Task Force. Under part “b”, as far as I am aware, before the closure of the factory, the workers had already entered into some discussions and some agreements were reached in terms of the payments. Those agreements were not subject to further discussions. Could ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. To the best of my knowledge, the 30 per cent arrangement has not been honoured. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that he has honoured the 30 per cent arrangement, when we know very well that it has not been honoured? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I still need some clarification. Given the fact that the task force’s report says the company is viable and profitable, and given further the fact that resources are available, could I take it that the Ministry will be re-opening the company on 21st June, 2009? Secondly, could the Assistant Minister confirm that the Government has already set aside Kshs1.6 billion to revive this company? view
