• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: they made to the country. We would like to remind Major General (Rtd) Tumbo that when he takes up the job, we will look at the issue of time frame and measurable achievements. He should deliver what Kenyans expect of him. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Chairlady. To add on to what my colleague has said, some of these minerals occur across different counties. It will be very difficult for county A and county B to come together and agree on one thing. That is why we are emphasizing that it is a national duty, and it is better left to the national Government to make the decisions. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, the Director of Mines will be the top technical person in the industry. Therefore, it is quite in order to allocate him duties to be able to guide the industry. view

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I would like, first of all, to say that I highly regret that I wanted to contribute on the Health Motion but I was not able. I will try to put my input in this Bill about scrap metal. We know very well that we have a very big tragedy in our country. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I am contributing. We are discussing a very important Bill about scrap metal. I do not know where hon. Arati came from. I think he is just out to sabotage the Bill. That would be very unfair considering the problem we have about scrap metal dealers in this country. I would like to mention that the prices of scrap metal in the world are rising every day. I was reading an article where I read that scrap metal that was sold in this country in 2012 fetched Kshs.2 billion. In 2011, it fetched Kshs.1 billion and that is 100 per ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on licensing we would like the council that will be mandated with this work to be very serious on the issue of follow up. There are very many things that have been proposed like giving names, identity card number and putting your thumb when you sell scrap metal. Just like any other sector, for example, the land sector and the bank sector, photographs should be required especially from the people who are dealers or sell a certain tonnage of scrap metal. I know that this can prevent stealing of transformers and electrical cables. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We have an issue with regard to inspectors. I highly support the Bill because it touches on who should be an authorized inspector. It talks about somebody who has done metallurgy. I think this Bill should be clear from the word go. This is because majority of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: us have not come across a course at the university that deals with metallurgy. So, we should be very clear on who these inspectors are so that their qualification and character can be ascertained. This is because we do not want a case where the inspectors that we give this work become the people who connive with scrap metal dealers. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill also touches on the origin of scrap metal. I know there are very many people who sell scrap metal that does not have origin. The sign boards have very big names some from estate agents. You will find that the people who buy scrap metal, buy it knowing very well that they are coming from irregular sources. If this Bill is passed, some of the problems we have in connection with scrap metal business will be a thing of the past. view
