• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is as if we are trying to deal with the issue which has already been dealt with. The issues that he is raising now should have been raised when the Sessional Paper No.1 was brought to the House. Already, that has been approved by this House and we cannot reopen it. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first I want to say categorically that the Ministry is willing and ready to accept any BOT offers by any credible companies. As soon as, maybe, the hon. Member provides people, who are willing build and transfer any facility at the Port, the Ministry will be happy and will consider such offers. Secondly, I have clearly stated that 2884 PARLIAMETARY DEBATES October 22, 2008 the detailed engineering designs of the Port are going to take about ten months. If, for any reasons, the fears raised by the hon. Member for Alego Usonga turn out to be ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I confirm that the KPA has made no arrangements or plans to close the Kisumu Inland Container Depot and/or transfer its operations to Eldoret. The movement of containerized cargo to Kisumu Inland Container Depot by rail was suspended by the Rift Valley Railways (RVR) following damage to the railway viaducts along the Nakuru-Kisumu line from 12th June, 2008. This effectively stopped all operations at the Kisumu ICD to date. However, the RVR has confirmed that arrangements for the repairs are being undertaken and movement of cargo by rail to Kisumu ICD ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments of the hon. Member. I can confirm that the concessionaire of the railway line, namely the RVR, has deficiencies. It has not operated in accordance with the concession documents. Therefore, the Ministry has directed the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) to issue notices, so that the RVR can comply with the August 6, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2387 concession documents by operating the railway line the way it is supposed to be operating without the stoppage of cargo movement. That notice is effective in 30 days. If the RVR does not remedy this ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is correct that the RVR has used fuel belonging to the KRC. It is also correct that two locomotives have been written off. It is correct to say that the RVR has violated the concession. It is also correct that termination notices have been issued. view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be impossible for me to confirm that the concessionaire has the capacity to repair the line by 1st September, 2008. One of the issues in question is the RVR's inability to raise enough funds. I hope that, by that time, if they have funds, they will have repaired the railway line. view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that the Ministry of Transport is not a toothless dog. We shall carry out forensic investigation into any violation of the concession. I can assure the hon.

I wish to make the following Statement regarding recruitment of foreign personnel by the Kenya Airways as requested by the Member for Gwassi, hon. John Mbadi. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to state that Kenya Airways is not recruiting 600 air hostesses from West African Region. Kenya Airways is currently employing 863, both male and female cabin crews. It is not possible for the airline to employ an additional 600, which is a 70 per cent growth, over a short period of time as the business cannot support this manpower growth. Kenya Airways, ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: , now includes a French section that address the reading needs of its French speaking travellers. All these initiatives are aimed at solidifying the Airline as a carrier that caters for varied international taste. It is for this reason that Kenya Airways has decided to also recruit a few nationals from West Africa and the Far East to help the Airline in making sure that the product it develops is in line with the different new cultures that opening up in this market is exposing the Airline to. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, out of the current compliment of 863 cabin ... view
