• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend my good friend, the presidential hopeful, hon. Musyimi, for this good piece of work. I had an occasion to appreciate his contribution to this society. I also want to commend his Committee Members, including the joint Committee Chairman, hon. Kapondi, who today is a free man. This report reminds us of two things; first, the clarion call by the late President of the Republic, namely, turudi mashambani . We must go back to our rural areas. The issue of land was still as valid then as it is today. Secondly, ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the understanding of the Chair over the absence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and his Assistant Minister, surely, a Question cannot be deferred for the fourth time. I am not sure whether you would wish the Chair to be part of a deliberate conspiracy by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not to give an answer to this Question, and others that will expose it for what it is. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are not dealing with Christmas bonuses. We are dealing with an employer who has refused to pay people redundancy, their dues and entitlement. Even their timeframe of Christmas is completely misleading. The Assistant Minister said two weeks while the hon. Member agreed to one week. Why can he not confirm that within one week, he will pay these people? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When this Question was brought to be answered, the Minister gave one report about the NEMA and the second one about consultations by the local communities before they could allow companies to resume mining. I have a letter from the Chairman of the Locational Environmental Committee, Mohamed Los Farah who has agreed, in a letter dated 19th November, 2011, which states that it was, however, unfortunate that although no rehabilitation was done, all companies resumed their activities without consent from the locals. Which other information does he need? We can provide ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just wondering why the Assistant Minister is convinced that if the process has serious problems at the manufacturing level, to the extent that people who were actually ordering stopped those orders. However, when it comes to usage, there are no particles. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Could he confirm with real researchers that actually these faded jeans are not health hazard to the consumers? Maybe, that is the other source. Has he considered all those possibilities, so that he could assure this country and the users of those faded jeans that they are safe to be used? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife:- (a) how many people have been killed or injured by crocodiles and hippopotamus in Lake Turkana since 2000 and whether he could indicate the respective years and the locations of the events; (b) how much money has been paid as compensation to the victims and/or their next-of-kin; and, (c) what the Government is doing to avert the menace caused by the crocodiles/hippopotamus in Lake Turkana. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that comprehensive answer. But unfortunately, the answer is out of date and he has acknowledged that. This is because this is a Question that came up in August, it was delayed, I pleaded with the Chair and it is now coming in December. I am just wondering about the supplementary question that I had. Some of the compensations that are yet to take place are claims made as early as 2009 and the Ministry is waiting for communication to come from the district. Has that information come or ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I share the lake with hon. Chachu. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like the Assistant Minister to really take time to ensure that the corporate social responsibility projects undertaken by KWS are increased. The information from his officers on the ground is not the same information we have on the ground; he is talking about sensitization meetings. I would like to invite the Assistant Minister himself to actually come, since he is my good neighbor, and verify for himself what his officers are doing on the ground, so that he can sensitize the communities, as he is are suggesting. When is he coming to ... view
