• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any bribes being paid or being asked for people to be released. Any material that belongs to the KRC or to any Government institution and it is found in private hands, the onus will be upon the person having it to prove that he has it legitimately. In the first place, it should be restored to the public place where it should have been. I believe that is what is happening with these materials. If the Jua Kali artisans had legitimate access to the materials in the first place, they will prove ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I did indicate, there are two facets to it. First, there are lines that are dormant and yet they can be reactivated because they are economically viable. The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) is working on that, first of all, to revive those lines. There are lines that were there and have no economic viability because they have not been used and there is no projection in terms of them becoming view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a commitment to deliver the first railway construction by independent Kenya in the next couple of months, at least, on a line from the Railway Station to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It is a project that is designed; there is a railway station that is already starting any time now. So, we will have a few kilometers done in Independent Kenya this time round and hon. Members may well be beneficiaries or travel on this line – which is expected to take two years – in the next couple of months. Obviously, we are ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did mention that the Solai Line has not been in use for 30 years, and all projections are that it will not be in use for the next so many years. Given that situation, it makes sense, first of all, to do away with the temptation of vandalism, to use those materials where they are needed most and as the economic realities in the region change and there is demand for another line, that decision can be taken at that point rather than keep materials waiting for circumstances to change. This could take many years. However, ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the Minister has been waiting for the last three days to give that Statement. The Assistant Minister who was here this morning had the Statement and he requested to give it. He had to travel and the Minister himself was looking for that Statement to give because he had given it to the Assistant Minister. Both of them are not here now but we will look for the Statement to give tomorrow. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did undertake that if it were not here, I would do it myself. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, there was a Motion on the same, but we will get the Minister to clarify his Statement tomorrow. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will attempt to get that tomorrow. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. As you recall, last week, we had created a special day to dispense all the business so that Members can not only finish the business, but also reconnect with their constituents during this festive season. With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are discussing a very important Commission that is going to determine how Kenya is developed in the future and our resources are going to be allocated. It would be unfortunate if Members took the seriousness out of that by joking about it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate this House for that amendment that has just taken place to reinstate the Member who would have been excluded for reasons other than qualifications. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support this Report by the Committee, subject to that amendment that has been made, I ... view
