• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members are suffering because of lack of public utilities. We want to develop schools and hospitals in our public utilities but some people have grabbed those public utilities. We wish the Minister could protect public utilities. Could he guarantee to this House that public utilities are the property of the Government? view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the problems with public utility land as a result of sub-divisions, especially here in Nairobi. There has been some misconception among the directors of land buying firms that they still have control over public utility that they have already surrendered to the Government. Could the Minister inform the House whether once public utility land has been surrendered to Government, it belongs to the councils and not the directors? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that, despite all matatus from Eastlands having been directed to drop and pick passengers at Muthurwa Stage, some matatus are now illegally driving into the CBD, thereby having an unfair advantage over other matatus? (b) Is the Minister further aware that the owners of matatus that drop and pick passengers at Muthurwa Market have lost business and cannot service their loans due to mismanagement of matatu stages and routes by the Nairobi ... view

I wonder whether the Assistant Minister is agreeable to that. For example, Kayole matatus should be painted with a certain colour, and drop and pick their passengers at the Muthurwa Stage. Umoja matatus should also do the same. I have talked to these people--- view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister agreeable to the suggestion that matatus for different routes use different colours? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue is so serious in Embakasi that it should be given the attention that it deserves. The Assistant Minister does not understand the real problem. The problem is that big companies that have so many matatus are picking passengers from different points. They use different routes to sneak into the CBD. They are also picking passengers in the CBD while privately-owned matatus, which are about 1,000, are picking and dropping passengers at the Muthurwa Bus Stop. They park there the whole day. I wish the Assistant Minister could visit the bus stop. If the matatus ... view
