• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the desire by the Assistant Minister not to close down the farm and in keeping with our desire to have employment, there are several issues that arise from this answer. If the Chair allows me I will ask these questions quickly. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: That is okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you listened to me, you will discover that the Assistant Minister has answered part “b” of the Question in five different parts, each of which I feel is inadequate and I will explain why. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: In part “b”(i) he says that they will contain all the wastewater on the farm before being pumped to treatment wetland ponds. The said wetland ponds do not exist. So, how can this be an adequate answer? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under part “b(iv)” of the Assistant Minister’s answer he says that they are collaborating with the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to have the samples analyzed. I will appreciate if he gives a time line. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Under part “b(v)” of the Assistant Minister’s answer, he says that there is self- assessment environment audit. Could this be made public? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to question whether he is in order to suggest that the advice given to the residents is not to drink water or give it to their livestock. So, how are they supposed to survive? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had posed a question which was not answered regarding the date which they will have the analysis complete. May I also suggest that he files that report and the recommended action in this House to allow hon. Members to scrutinize and give us the opportunity to then question the next move. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am still baffled that he could ask people to stop drinking water and not even propose digging a well or giving them an alternative. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking Mr. Ethuro, who is the Chairman of AMANI Forum, Kenya Chapter, for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. It is, in my opinion, a very important Motion and, indeed, I, personally, have had the pleasure of participating in various activities organized by this Chapter. I must say that this Motion is timely, if not overdue. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: The forum has successfully enabled hon. Members to effectively play their roles in peace building and conflict management, not only in Kenya but as we heard from Mr. Imanyara, within the region. This has been done through organizing and building capacities for hon. Members and the knowledge has definitely contributed to the active participation of hon. Members in enhancing democracy and the rule of law in Kenya. view
