• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, arising from the answer to this Question, the statistics show that small and big industries were affected alike. However, arising from the statistics, some of the big businesses affected, include Ukwala Supermarket which suffered a loss of Kshs300 million, Ndugu Transport; Kshs150 million, Nyanza Sugar; Kshs10 million, Kibos Sugar; Kshs10 million and Skyline Constructors; Kshs30 million, among others. view
• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Arising from these losses, insurance companies have been able to compensate on ex-gratia basis some of the losses, at least, 50 per cent of the losses incurred. However, one of the biggest insurance companies in Kenya, which has consistently reaped profits from Kisumu business people, Kenindia Assurance Company, has refused to pay any iota of ex-gratia payments. What is the Ministry doing to consult with this particular company, so that it can pay, at least, part of the loss that business people suffered? view
• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the companies that suffered the most are the biggest employers in Kisumu Town. As a result of lack of compensation, they are not able to re-employ those who lost their employment due to the destruction. In such circumstances, what assurance can he give this House that the Government does not run away from its responsibilities and will consult with insurance companies to ensure that ex-gratia payments are effected? That is the responsibility of the Government and you need to discharge it. view

Could the Assistant Minister inform the House how the Ministry coordinates with the farmers before it engages the services of the receiver managers? view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The answer given by the Assistant Fe bruary 3, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a pity that the House is trivialising a very serious issue like this one. The point of order raised by Mr. Imanyara is so grave that we should not break it down to the Hague or a local tribunal. It raises very fundamental issues on whether what we are doing in the House conforms to the law and is legal or not. The Waki Commission Report cannot be said to be just recommendations. The Report has been adopted by this House, and it is anchored in the National Accord. So, we must give it ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The House is already out of time. That must be the reason as to why the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs invoked Standing Order No.99; so that we could expedite the process. We were asked to expedite the process, because we were out of time. Today, we are out of time by another four days. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The issue raised by hon. Imanyara is valid to the extent that it is asking the House to confirm whether the timeline that the Minister was worried about, and that has already expired, can be extended so that we can continue with the debate today. view
