28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
The issue of alcohol and alcohol abuse is well known to everyone. It is shocking that the Chairman of the Committee decides that we have 12 hours of drinking, one hour to prepare and one hour to close; that makes 14 hours. That means, Kenyans should prepare themselves to drink from 11 o’clock to midnight. If that is good for the economy, I beg to differ. It cannot be. It will not be because you have 14 hours of drinking, two hours of working and that makes 16 hours of drinking and working and eight hours of sleep. A working ...

28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
I think the hon. Member is very anxious to see a drunken Kenya that he cannot interpret a simple law that he has drafted; he is proposing 12 drinking hours, one hour to prepare and one hour to close. That makes 14 hours. That is all I am saying. In a day that has 24 hours, you subtract 14 hours, you have ten hours, you normally sleep for eight hours. So, you have two hours to work. It is simple Mathematics. That notwithstanding, I do not think he belives in what he is talking about. There is no nation that ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for clarity, they manufacture the chemicals from Western and Nyanza and then they are drunk in Central. Specifically, that is the problem! If they can stop manufacturing that chemical, then the chemical will not be available.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the House that the alcohol prevalence among students is as follows:- Western Kenya is leading with 43.3 per cent, Nairobi at 40.9 per cent, Nyanza, hon.

Nyanza has 85.5 per cent, Eastern ...

28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am basically saying that the only thing that they have a point is how we deal with neighborhood schools. The neighborhood schools can be dealt with, even at Basilica’s level, in a better way. For example, by erecting a wall, a barrier or a board that has a positive message between the two institutions. In my amendment, that has been taken care of so that you cure the 300 meters rule. Hon. Kapondi has done this and it is a big problem because he is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is agreeable if only he could note that the total amount of money involved here is as big as that of Goldenberg. It is a huge of amount involved. If he could note that as he does his research, then I have no difficulty in accommodating him for Wednesday or Thursday.

27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a point that hon. C. Kilonzo has put forward. At a time like this when we have all manner of problems arising from sabotage and other things, it will be very frightening for us to hear that you have only a police post in that particular place. Even a place like Gilgil whose police line was constructed in 1950 does not have an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD). Could the Assistant Minister appoint the acting OCPDs immediately so that we can have a force that really protects our people?
