• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: So, as much as we would want the revival of Kilifi Cashewnut Factory and know the people behind its vandalisation, either the Mover comes with an amendment, or we reject the Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so many industries have been vandalised. I was shocked the other day when I visited the Eldoret Branch of Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) Limited and found that a lot of the machines which were meant for processing milk were vandalised. They were stolen then sold to some people in this country who are in the same business. It is not only the person who ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, also to support the Presidential Speech, which was presented in this House. I have been in this House for long, but I have not seen a Speech that really covered as many parts of our economy like the one that was delivered by the President during the Official State Opening of Parliament. I congratulate the President and I thank him for being able to touch on most of the areas that we thought of. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, anybody who would want to raise an argument about ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, by now, every hon. Member knows what a point of order is! Those hon. Members who do not know what a point of order is should be taken for training. It appears that, even after four years, some people do not know what a point of order is. I was saying that the rules should be observed. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: I think the hon. Member just wants to waste my time! I have very little time! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a very persistent problem in my constituency. I have talked about it for many years. The garbage of this City is dumped at Dandora. My people in Dandora Phase II are dying because of that garbage. I have appealed to the Minister for Local Government and the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, but nothing has been done. What remains now is for me to tell my people to stop that dumping by force. Although I am ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Ojode to continue behaving the way he is doing; bringing tribal issues in this House, when all these people are Kenyans? He has even belittled Mr. Tuju by looking at him and saying: "I dismiss---" The HANSARD will bear me witness. view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Could he apologise? He did not do so! view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been in this House for long. I know that when an allegation is made from the Floor of this House, either the Chair or an individual hon. Member asks for substantiation from the hon. Member who has made the allegation. One is not allowed to leave the Chamber or even go to the pigeon-hole to collect any paper. This is a serious anomaly which cannot be allowed to happen. We cannot allow, and it can never happen, that this document be admitted in this House after the claimant left ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This document will be published by the Press unless you order that it should not be published until we are able to prove the allegation or otherwise. The purpose of Mr. Ojode going out with it was to give copies of the same to the Press. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there have been power failures at New KCC Runyenjes Cooling Plant, thereby, affecting the operations of the Plant. 4262 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 (b) The New KCC has embarked on procuring power-generators, but due to financial constraints, that will be done in phases. The first phase, which will target the main factories, is expected to be completed by 31st, December this year. However, acquisition and installation of more generators for the cooling plant will be done during the 2007/2008 Financial Year. The Runyenjes Plant has been identified ... view
