• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is the Assistant Minister doing to correct that anomaly? view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for giving us an assurance that in December we shall have those ferries in place. But we have had a lot of scares of possible accidents; a lot of stalling of those ferries that are operating in the Likoni channel. In the interim period between now and December, there is a big possibility that, in fact, we could lose a lot of lives like it has happened before. What safety measures and guarantees is the Minister giving us to protect life and limb and the thousands of poor Kenyans ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to join Mr. Odhiambo in thanking the Minister for a very elaborate answer he has given. This is the way Ministers earn respect in this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to get one assurance from the Minister. In this programme of establishment of propagation and multiplication centres for fish farming, he said he has been allocated some Kshs1 billion or so and he is targeting 140 constituencies. I want his assurance that Garssen Constituency is one of those that is going to be in that programme. Mr. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I also want to join Mr. Affey in saying that the appeal by the Prime Minister is well received and we will support him. I am on foot on that Statement because there are three aspects to it. I am quoting Prof. Namanga Ngongi who is the President of the Alliance for Greener Revolution in Africa which was started by Dr. Kofi Annan. They are saying that the problem in Africa as far as food production is concerned is not lack of technology but national governments have failed to invest enough in ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issues of pricing aside, there is a bigger question that would worry all Kenyans today. That is whether it is actually safe to consume GMO maize. I would like the Assistant Minister to speak from the Floor of this House whether it is the policy of the Government to allow Kenyans to consume these GMOs. They should educate us because we are worried. This is the gist of the matter. What is the policy position? Can we, or can we not? view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: to ask the Prime Minister:- Following the direction by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that Ministers and top Government officials use one official car with an engine capacity of not more than 1800cc:- (a) State the rate of compliance with the directive and conform how much savings are expected from the initiative; (b) Table the list of the Ministers, top Government and parastatal officials who have complied and those who have not and state whether escort cars will also be affected; and (c) State when His Excellency the President, His Excellency the Vice President and the Rt. ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: What about Question No.013? view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am still pursuing the issue of the Bio-Safety Act and the GMOs. It has just been brought to my attention that the Bio-Safety Act, section 20 says that a person shall not import into Kenya, genetically modified organisms without a written approval of the authority. It seems that there is not only a policy in place but a law. What is lacking is the Ministry’s action in setting up an authority to deal with matters to do with GMO organisms or foods into this country. So, the issue is: ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister was even going to give a statement on this issue. view
