• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to spend Kshs19 million to purchase these generators. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, as I said earlier, in the meantime, we are stationing the tanker almost immediately. No milk will be lost. All the milk will be collected using that tanker. If it is not there, I will find view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: out why. It should start collecting milk immediately. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall take that into consideration. Indeed, we have three tankers in different places like Dandora. That is a good suggestion. Whenever that problem is identified, the tanker will be provided. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that it serves parts of Meru and Embu. That is correct. However, I want to assure the hon. Member that the tanker will be there this week to collect milk. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what surprises me is that the same hon. Members who want you to put the Question are the same ones who want to remain in this House! If you want to go, then go! Those who want to remain can remain and talk about the issues. You cannot have both. You must make a decision. My decision is that the House should adjourn. We need to go and see what we have done for our constituents this year. As usual, the House always adjourns at this time of the year. We need to go to ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am appealing to my brothers and sisters in this House to be sober. You will win this Motion and lose another one. That is normal in the House. That is what we call democracy. However, I want to ask some hon. Members not to get so much excited because they won a Motion a few minutes ago. They will still lose another one when that time comes. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am not aware that KFA's assets are up for auction. I am, however, aware that KFA owes various secured and unsecured creditors in excess of Kshs1.8 billion. I am also aware that the ex- employees of KFA have a court judgement and orders to auction KFA's movable assets in order to pay themselves salary arrears. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is correct that this House passed a Sessional Paper that December 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4113 mandated the Government to borrow some money. The guarantee was given but the process is on- going and we believe that we will get finances. However, the hindrance has been the many court cases. Even now, those issues are sub judice because they are in court. I request the Questioner to bear with us. He should wait until the court cases are finalised. We will implement the Sessional Paper that was passed by Parliament after the court cases are finalised. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not possible to give the timeframe within which the court cases will be finalised. The Ministry took action and obtained the guarantee from this House. However, it is very difficult to implement the Sessional Paper due to the court cases that have been filed by the directors and the employees of the KFA. The directors should stop the court cases so that we can move in immediately. The money is available and we have everything in place but we are unable to move forward because of the court cases. The Chair knows that we have ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the order that was issued by the court allowed the auctioneers to take some chairs and tables from the offices. Listing of the individuals who have taken the KFA houses is sub judice . I cannot lay the list of those individuals on the Table because they will also move to court and accuse us of interfering with a matter that is before court. However, the court order allowed the auctioneers to auction a few assets. However, the main case is still pending in court. view
