6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence to inform this House the seriousness of this matter. First, the Assistant Minister has blamed the Treasury for delay in duty and tax exemption for up to three years. Without proof on that, it remains hearsay and it is best imagination of the Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation. Secondly, I visited the Managing Director of the KPLC, Mr. Dan Njoroge in December, 2008 having received similar explanation that the transformers were not available. He challenged me to show receipts as proof that we had paid Kshs2.3 million which was required. ...

6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with this most experienced Member of Parliament from Central Rift because he has learnt a lot of bad habits from the old Parliament before we had the new Standing Orders and the new Constitution. Among the bad habits is to come here and always protect the Government as a blanket. We have had meetings which are minuted in his Ministry and revisited all these issues that he is bringing forward. Eng. Mutai has given several promises and said that they have paid for the power. That was in December, 2008 and again in ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could you defer this Question, so that the Assistant Minister can go and do his work properly, so that we know that we are not in danger of either disease outbreak or sewage spilling to Lake Naivasha?

6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking a clarification from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government that, indeed, this is not the annual ratio we have seen over the last three years, where we start with people dying, then people are eating seeds, now they are eating dogs and after that there is a special committee from the Cabinet and there is a massive import of maize in a very irregular manner. Could he assure this House that, indeed, this year, we are talking about buying the bumper harvest from the farmers?

6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I come to the final question, I seek further indulgence to confirm that, indeed, Kshs10 million is for rehabilitation of the current sewerage works so that it functions to a capacity of 30,000. There are no emergency measures in place for the remaining 90,000 residents of Naivasha. That is the gist of the Question. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that there are no emergency measures and that the Kshs10 million is supposed to be also the contingency for the 90,000 who cannot be serviced by the system which he has admitted was meant for ...

6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Naivasha contributes 90 per cent of the agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to this Government, which involves payment to this Ministry. Some of the money they are using is from Naivasha. Now, we are nearing a situation where Lake Naivasha will be poisoned by 90,000 residents whose sewage does not have contingency measures. Am I in order to request that this Question be deferred or referred to the relevant Committee so that these urgent issues can be dealt with?

6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to continue misleading this House that there is, indeed, some contingency measures knowing too well that there is none at all on the 90,000 residents of Naivasha, even after the rehabilitation of that sewerage---
