• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that the latest case was reported on 15th May, 2009. I do not know of any more case, but I will go back to the office and find out how many more people have been affected. However, we have put everything in motion by dispatching a team from Embu Provincial Headquarters to Samburu East to assist in combating this disease. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry has plans to build a fully-fledged and equipped Government Chemist Complex at Kisumu in the next Financial Year 2009/2010. A total of Kshs15 million has been factored in for the construction works, subject to Treasury approval. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. However, that is a five-year project. We are going to spend Kshs132 million to construct the Government Chemist in Kisumu. We have started with a figure of Kshs15 million this year. We have asked the Treasury to give us Kshs15 million. We are going to spend Kshs56 million to construct the Chemist and then use the rest of the money to equip that facility. So, please, bear with us. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to request the hon. Member to bear with us. I think this is a question of resources. We are saying that, as a Ministry, we have asked the Treasury to give us Kshs15 million to start with. I think they will give us that money and we shall start the construction work next year. I have also indicated that we have asked for an additional Kshs140 million from the Treasury. I hope that we shall get that money and build the Government Chemist in Kisumu. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government Chemist Headquarters is in Nairobi. It is situated at the Kenyatta National Hospital. We have three branches in the country; namely, the Coastal Branch, which serves the coastal area, the Nairobi Headquarters, which serves the rest of the country and the Kisumu Branch to serve western Kenya, parts of the Rift Valley and Nyanza Province. That is what we can do at the moment. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have actually answered that question. I have said that we have asked the Treasury to give us Kshs15 million to begin the exercise of constructing a Government Chemist in Kisumu. I want to assure this House that, if the Treasury gives us that money, we shall start construction works immediately in the next financial year. view
