• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources:- (a) whether he is aware that Lake Naivasha is currently toxicated due to use of banned agrochemicals including Furadan; (b) whether he is also aware that Furadan chemical has been blamed for causing nervous disorder in lions around the lake; and, (c) what measures the Government is taking to impose a complete ban on the said chemicals. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not have a written reply. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Furadan is a systemic pesticide. It is systemic in that, you plant with it and it lasts in the plant. It is not true that this does not exist. Could the Assistant Minister reconfirm again, when they will ban Furadan because of its very grave consequences? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has just confirmed that there are five cases elsewhere and he does not know of any case. It is because the lions eat the herbivorous animals which consume that product and that leads to the level of toxicity. I still insist: Does the Assistant Minister have plans to ban Furadan so that it is not in the ecosystem? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether importing five million bags of maize to flood the market is part of the Government intervention to save farmers? Is he in order to mislead this House by saying that the Government intervened after the post-election violence to save the farmers when they now want to kill the same farmers?

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for this very timely action of bringing forth this Bill. For one, it will remove anarchy in this country as far as communication is concerned. Not everybody is welcome in this industry. There are monarchs of this industry who control the frequencies and content. There are those who will even steal frequencies and the Minister is powerless. However, the Minister has muscle now and we are looking forward to seeing him on Monday functioning. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister to tell us why she ignored the people component in the whole transaction. This is because at the centre of it, it is for the benefit of Kenyans that we interfered with the KCC, to an extent that these very poor people are now being advised to go to court, yet they do not know where to begin or end. Why can we not take that burden, as a Government, so that we protect the people and their savings? view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Question, but I have had a conversation with the Assistant Minister, and we agreed that although this Question is the "grandfather" of all other Questions, it being a very old Question, he still needs one more week to bring a comprehensive answer. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to demonise those technicians to an extent that for them to carry out meat inspection, they need a kilogramme of meat without substantial evidence? view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank hon. Lekuton so sincerely for bringing this very timely Motion. The issue of animal technicians has been ignored for quite a while now. It even appears that now the universities are looting the very institutions that were supposed to produce these technicians. For instance, we have had cases where the universities have gone on the rampage buying all these small colleges and converting them to universities. It is wrong. Technicians deal with ecotypes - a small ecosystem that has definite parameters and they use certain techniques. These techniques are ... view
