• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that some factories are experimenting with solar and other sources of energy. We are encouraging tea factories to do that. view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the things that I have highlighted are in progress. For instance, I have stated what is going on with regard to value addition. I have also talked about what is being done about market diversification. We used to have specific countries where we sold our tea. But now, we are selling it to other places like Iran, China, Russia, Poland and other Asian countries. The other thing is about product diversification--- view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have started. view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the hon. Member to give me the details of the Statement and we will issue it next week. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you might find that in a province like North Eastern where there are four prisons, and I had an occasion to visit one prison in Wajir, most of the inmates are Muslims and it will not make sense to have a Catechist there. The Ministry has taken into account the religious affiliations of some inmates. So far, we have not received complaints in this regard, unless Mr. Yakub would like to bring this to our attention. We are always ready and available if there is need to post some Maalims, for example, in a prison in Nyeri ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is nothing wrong with dancing. I will challenge the Member for Chepalungu to a serious dance session. However, you will agree with me that that is a completely different question. Mr. Yakub’s Question has been treated with the seriousness it deserves. Of course, those prison reforms will continue and the annual beauty contests are still there. However, our business is to reform the inmates while we guard their basic rights. This is reform time and we are very busy reforming the prisons. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake to do that. I invite the hon. Member for Wajir South to work with us so that all of us are satisfied. It is important that the spiritual needs of all the inmates are addressed. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake that we will work with Mr. Yakub and all the other interested colleagues to make sure that the spiritual needs of Muslims in the 42 prisons are addressed. If it means increasing the number of Muslim preachers from nine to maybe 15, we will do so. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (a) There is no outstanding Presumptive Tax (2 per cent Sugar Levy) with Nzoia Sugar Company. Sony Sugar Company has processed all payments due to farmers. But some farmers have not collected their refunds. Nzoia Sugar Company has not been remitting the 1 per cent levy to Kenya National Sugar-cane Growers Union as there is no contractual obligation between the two organizations. (b) Kenya National Sugar-cane Growers Union enters into contractual obligations with sugar millers. It is a private affair. However, I have taken measures to ensure that the Sugar Arbitration Tribunal addresses disputes that may arise efficiently. Those measures ... view
