• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our effort to decongest the CBD, it is still correct if I tell the hon. Members taht we intend to create a 24-hour economy. This is one step towards decongesting the city. We want to encourage people to conduct business at night so that we have less people and traffic coming to the CBD during the day. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Thika Road is currently under construction. I am aware that demolitions are being carried out to allow us enough space in our attempt to create a six- lane highway on both sides of the road. When this is completed, we believe that people are going to be encouraged to reside, do businesses and relocate to this part of the city. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, it is very important to understand the mandate of the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development. Let me clarify that the demolitions that are taking place are not carried out by this Ministry. However, this is a Ministry that liaises with so many other Ministries. Within the metropolitan, we are liaising with the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, the Ministry of Housing and so many other Ministries. I am aware that those affected had been given enough notice. However, I agree that the manner in which the demolitions are being carried out, being ... view

• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and I am in agreement that the idea of devolved funds is very noble. However, certain parameters must be put into consideration if these funds are going to impact positively at the grassroots level. It is incredible, for example, for a constituency like Kasarani, which covers an area of almost 90 square kilometres with a population of almost 700,000 people, almost 43 per cent of them living below the poverty line and with 46 per cent of households headed either by women or children, to receive ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very, very important Motion. I thank you, hon. Mututho, for bringing this Motion. Over the years, I have realised that we, as a country, are living in a state of great hypocrisy. That is because those people that we now refer to as "freedom fighters", gave us a platform of the freedom that we are now enjoying. They put their lives on the line and, in many cases, you read in the newspapers when one of them passes on, then we all troop to their various villages and give ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The level of pollution in the Nairobi metropolitan region has not been determined. However, studies have been conducted in the Nairobi River and its tributaries to determine pollution levels. (b) The level of cleanliness in the Nairobi River basin is very low because of poor management of both effluent discharge and solid waste from different sources. (c) The Government has initiated action in collaboration with the United Nations (UN) agencies of United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and UN Habitat on rehabilitation of the Nairobi River basin including mitigation measures against effluent discharge ... view
