Entries 101 to 110 of 429.

• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that I should have tabled the rules. It was an oversight. With your permission, I now table them. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Minors may be carried by the passenger because, by definition, in all transport modes, minors and the persons carrying them are taken as one, for purposes of travel. On an aircraft, a minor is taken as part of the passenger who is carrying that minor. However, we are talking of those minors who cannot walk, who must be carried. That is acceptable. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Helmets must be won by both passenger and rider. Details relating to this aspect appear in the Legal Notice. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, it is illegal. They are now allowed to carry only one passenger at a time. This requirement appears in both my Ministerial Statement and the Legal Notice. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of pornographic videos being shown in matatu, I did not make an immediate response because I am ready to issue a Ministerial Statement on the same and give details on the actions we are taking. With your permission, I would like to restrict myself to the Legal Notice that I was expounding on. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said very clearly that minors in this case are those persons who cannot walk on their own or infants. The word “minor” as used also incorporates infants. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good suggestion. We can operationalize such system once we have the new generation driving licences. For now, it is not possible to work out a fool-proof system of dealing with the administration of instant fines. So, please, bear with us. We are in the process of coming up with a new generation driving licence that will be based on the electronic smart card system, which will make it possible for fines to be paid on the spot. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is the hon. Member’s opinion. I said “for purposes of travel only” and added that for other purposes, the definition is different, and regulations vary. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I would like to apologise to the Chair and the House for arriving here late. I was attending to matters relating to an air accident which occurred this week. I am, however, ready to answer the Question. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Mara ecosystem has a total of 40 airstrips with Narok having 34 airstrips while Trans Mara has six. I hereby table the matrix which indicates the location and capacity of each airstrip since it will take long to give the details for all the 40 airstrips. view
