• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a standard which is published. It is called "Standard KS05358-1999". In this standard, it is said that it covers carbonated waters, flavoured carbonated beverages, flavoured carbonated beverages containing nutrients or nutritive sweeteners, non-carbonated beverages containing nutritive or non-nutritive sweeteners and in the test, it shows what alcohol should contain. Let me table it so that I do not have to read the whole thing but I think Ms. Shabesh is asking what it should be classified as. It is non-alcoholic. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Just a minute, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think I have given justice to her answer because she has said that some laboratories have found Alvaro to be alcoholic. I would like to see that laboratory test which she has quoted. I think it is just a rumour. We have not received any laboratory test results that have actually found this drink alcoholic. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: In the Government Chemist, they actually detected zero alcohol content. Secondly, in the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), the detection was also zero alcohol content. So, we would like to see the alleged school laboratory reports. We also require that the names of those laboratories be laid on the Table here. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know, we must remain honourable in this House. We should continue to be honourable even outside this House! When you make statements, you must be factual! You know allegations will not pass! If you have any laboratory tests, because if there was alcohol in this drink, we, as a Government, will be losing money because we tax the content of alcohol. That drink is taxed as a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage! The tests done by the Government Chemist and KEBS show that the alcohol content is zero! So, an allegation that--- I would like to ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been in this House for quite a long time. This is Question Time and not the time for making speeches. Nevertheless, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us not lose sight of the Question. The Question is whether Alvaro has some alcohol or not. Now, we are being told that when they expose it to air, it ferment or whatever it is--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question that was asked is: If you go to any bar, anywhere or to the breweries and pick a sample of Alvaro--- I picked one ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Relax, Mr. Linturi! Relax! July 30, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2181 view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point is still the same: Has Alvaro got alcohol or not? As far as we are concerned, from the results conducted by the Kenya Bureau of Standards Laboratory and the Government Chemist Laboratory, there is no alcohol. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the samples I have just given to the House were taken on the 23rd--- view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just saying that these samples were taken and the results were given almost the same day. Testing for alcohol content is not a big problem. It is a few hours exercise. So, it is not something that can take months. In fact, if you look at what I have given out here, it is a series of samples that were taken. They were tested and results tabulated. So, it is something you can go and request. You can take your sample now and you will be able to get the results, probably even ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Well, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You know the Question I was asked was whether there is alcohol or no alcohol in alvaro. Up to now, as far as we are concerned, the results from the two laboratories show that it is a non-alcoholic drink. Now who drinks it? Those who can afford it. It can be drunk by adults and anybody who can afford. Since it is non- alcoholic, it can be drunk by children. view
