• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Prime Minister:- (a) the criteria and procedure the Government used to procure the services of M/s Intertek International Ltd to conduct fitness tests on the maize imported from the Republic of South Africa; and, (b) the amount of money paid by the Government for the services rendered. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason this Question was deferred until the Prime Minister got back to the country was because the Minister for Industrialization was not able to satisfy the House. For example, what is the technical capability - both professional and of equipment - of M/s Intertek International Limited vis-a-vis KEBS, Government Chemist and Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS)? view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Two, if KEBS, the Government Chemist and KEPHIS condemned this maize and then M/s Intertek International Limited said, “This maize is okay”, who do we believe? If we believe M/s Intertek International Limited, could the Prime Minister tell us whether these Government bodies are going to be dissolved? If he believes the Government bodies, when are we going to cancel the contract with M/s Intertek International Limited, because we cannot rely on a company that is likely to lead our people to death? view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I need your guidance because the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister has not responded to the clarifications that I sought on the technical and professional capability of M/s. Intertek International Limited. Secondly, I appreciate the responsibility of the Office of the Prime Minister to protect all Kenyans. That is why I am asking, since this so called independent firm has given a contradicting report to our own Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and others, what action is he taking to protect Kenyans either to cancel the contract for M/s. Intertek International Limited because ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to enjoin my colleagues in congratulating the Rt. hon. Prime Minister for that speech. This is foresight, proactive and what we would like to see this Government do. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Having said that, the Prime Minister has stated that 70 per cent of our power is hydro generated. The others include geo-thermal, wind and bio-fuel which constitute 30 per cent of power production. We did not hear from him how we will protect the 70 per cent production which has reduced because rivers are drying up and the water towers are not being protected. In addition, our forest cover has declined instead of increasing. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and his team to go back to their office and release this money to the constituencies. We want to take a vote on this Motion and everyone here supports that. Why are we delaying? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request you to call upon the mover to reply and then put the Question. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the adoption of this Report. But as I do so, let me thank our Chairman, Dr. Khalwale, for chairing the Committee so well for the last 15 months or so. I also want to thank hon. Members of the Committee, which I also serve because, during the period that we worked, you could not differentiate which hon. Members came from what party. We all worked as one Committee and really gave our time. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Members like going for the chairmanship of such a Committee because the amount of time I have seen Dr. Khalwale spending on the Committee, I fear for his parliamentary seat come 2012! view
