• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for that assurance to the people of Runyenjes. The situation in Runyenjes is the same as that in Sotik. Is the Assistant Minister also sending a tanker to collect milk in Sotik? view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member is talking about--- view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to believe also that it was a deliberate move to exclude road signs and road markings on that same road. The road signs are very few and they are not in places where you actually need them. For example, as you approach Chemosit Bridge, there are no signs to indicate to you that you are approaching a bridge, which, as it is today, looks precarious. Was it also a deliberate move to exclude road signs and markings on that road? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the explanation being given by the Assistant Minister on the word "anonymous" is very inadequate. Clause 13 of the Bill says:- "Subject to this Act, no person shall compel another to undergo an HIV test." Whether this is being done under anonymous conditions or not, a person has to give authority for a test to be done. We will end up with many cases in court if we do that, for example, in the case of an institution in Kericho which is doing exactly the same. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the person drawing the blood knows the person he or she is drawing the blood from. It cannot be assumed that the owner of the blood cannot be known. The blood will not be coming out of a person by itself, it will be drawn by a person! 4224 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 6, 2006 view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the assets of Kenya Farmers Association (KFA) Limited have been lined up for auction? (b) If the answer to "a" above is in the affirmative, what steps is the Minister taking to stop the assets from being auctioned? view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that answer is so short and vague that it does not convey to me the information that I was expecting from the Assistant Minister. Last year, this House was requested by the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing to approve a loan of Kshs2 billion to KFA for purposes of revitalisation. This House approved the same. Could the Assistant Minister tell us, after this House used its time to approve the loan, why has the revitalisation not been implemented? What has stopped the Ministry from utilising whatever was approved by this House? view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is not aware that the assets of the KFA are about to be auctioned. However, I think many Kenyans are aware of this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister assure the House, assuming that he is now aware, that the assets of the KFA shall not pass from the organisation to individuals without his knowledge? This is because we are aware that certain individuals, including former employees, are eyeing some of those assets. view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think the Government is being serious on protecting our environment. This particular lake sources water from Mau Forest. Last weekend, I visited the area and found trees being cut down right in the middle of the forest. Last year, this House enacted a law on preservation of forests, but it has not been operationalised. When will the Government operationalise the Forest Act to save our environment? view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Local Government what plans he has on the installation of traffic lights to control vehicular and human traffic on our roads, especially in the urban centres. view
