• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am afraid I do not have an answer to that. As I said, the Prime Minister’s Office may have contracted the services of Intertek International Limited as it was stated here. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have an answer as to how much the company was paid. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with respect to part “a” on the criteria, I said that Intertek International Limited is a company that is already contracted by the Kenya Bureau of Standards. I also said that the maize was tested by the Kenya Bureau of Standards, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, the Government Chemist and KEPHIS. Therefore, it follows naturally that if you wanted to seek a second or a third opinion on the maize, you would contract or choose a company like Intertek International Limited, which has laboratories in Mombasa, to give you that opinion.

On part “b” of the Question, I have said that I do not have an answer with regard to how much the Government paid to Intertek for the services rendered. I undertake to bring the answer later on.

• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said, and I repeat, that Intertek International Limited is a company that has been contracted through competitive bidding by the KEBS to offer conformity assessment services under the pre-verification of conformity to standards programme. Intertek International Limited, therefore, is a company that is known by the KEBS. It is charged with the responsibility of testing goods that are destined for Kenya. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have answered the Question from two points of view. One is from what the Ministry does and the other one is from what I know happened. So, when I said that the Ministry was not aware, I did not say that, personally, I was not aware. When I said, “we, as the Ministry of Industrialization,” I meant that we did not, as a Ministry, commission Intertek International Limited. However, I know that the Office of the Prime Minister did so and I said that I am aware of that. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for noticing me to be able to contribute to the Presidential Address. I wish to support it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have faced a number of challenges in this country. We have pledged ourselves to be a middle income industrialized country by the year 2030. In order to be able to achieve that, we need to do certain things.

• 22 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very important that we have thorough and conclusive consultations, as you rightly pointed out. If we do not agree, then we may not have any Business in the next six months although we can seek leave of the House to introduce the Motion again. So, in order to carry everybody on board and for this House to pass this list expeditiously, I support that we adjourn until the following day to allow for sufficient and conclusive consultations. Thank you. view
