• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is loud consultation forcing me to raise my voice. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this codex, the standard here, which is actually a World Health Organization (WHO) standard under 6.32 specifically says a maximum standard of 1.5PPM for different water, which is not the one we are given as a maximum. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our water – the 73 that we have sampled – all of them conform except two. Even those two had a maximum of 1.8 PPM, which is still within the maximum we had given for that particular--- view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are loud consultations going on and I cannot be heard! view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, Keringet falls exactly on what we have defined as water originating from rocks, underground water. We have said that since this standard does not specify the maximum levels that particular source should be, we have specified a maximum of 4 PPM, so, that, 1.1 PPM or 1.8 PPM, is still within our recommended maximum levels. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said in my reply that if water exceeds the maximum level for infants; if it exceeds 1.5 PPM, they are required to put a warning on the label, which says that the water is not suitable for infants and children under the age of 7 years. Now, if water has been opened and, as the hon. Member has said, it loses its viscosity – it becomes, probably, thicker or whatever – I have not been able to analyze a sample which has been opened to be able to know what chemical changes occur ... view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member should not be allowed to get away with that kind of statement. I have said, and I repeat, that the maximum levels that are allowed of water, say from the tap which has been filtered, is 1.5 PPM, as specified in the codex standard here. However, when you go to water bearing rocks, we have said that there was no specification for that, and we have specified that as having a maximum of 4 PPM, in conformity with the standard which already exists – the American standard. We have also said that ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake to get the Minister to come and reply. I happen to be privileged that when the House next meets--- view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Once again, I will tell the Minister to come and answer it next week on Tuesday. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to respond to this important Motion dealing with the implementation of the revival of Pan African Paper Mills. I would like to commend the efforts of this Committee in following up this very important matter. They have contributed in keeping the Government on its toes – I would not want to use the word “pressure” – to ensure that this factory is revived. On 30th January, 2009 when the management and owners of the Pan African Paper Mills left abruptly, the Government realized the problem it had been put in. We knew that ... view
• 12 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Government attaches a lot of importance to the development of the livestock sector. The leather sub-sector in particular is one of those we have targeted under the Vision 2030. The Government is promoting value addition in this sub-sector. The Ministry of Industrialization through its parastatal, the Kenya Industrial Research Development Institute (KIRDI) plans to establish mini-tanneries in high livestock potential areas. These areas are in arid and semi-arid areas including the North Eastern Province or northern Kenya. In the northern Kenya, my Ministry has identified Garissa, Wajir, Kapenguria and Mararal for ... view
