• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are 16 reported deaths in Laisamis, including a young man who was coming from tending his cows and he could not walk any more. He slept under view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Prime Minister’s speech was excellent. It is time that this country woke up and realised that the world is changing. In some countries like the United States of America and even China, as I mentioned before in one of my Questions last time, by 2030 at least 40 per cent of their power will come from renewable energy. I think the Prime Minister’s speech and his visit to South Africa was excellent and I appreciate it. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: However, I would like the Prime Minister to clarify something. We are going towards clean energy and the carbon credit point. We also have another hazard in our country. Our country has no gas emission qualifications and standards. We have vehicles and motor cycles which continually destroy our air and pollute our environment. I would like to urge the Prime Minister that as we continue to talk about the clean air, getting view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Housing:- (a) whether he could inform the House the magnitude of increase in housing property prices since 2004; (b) whether he could tell the House the reasons for the huge increase; and, (c) what immediate measures he has instituted to ensure that all Kenyans can afford decent homes. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for an excellent answer. In this country, the only thing that has gone up by 100 per cent within a period of four years is housing. Housing is a crucial factor in society. Every person in Kenya needs to have a house. The rest of the world, for example, China, is adopting technologies that are very efficient in building and cutting costs. Is this Ministry pursuing research that would most likely give us technology that will make housing cheaper for our people in this country? view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the reasons the Minister has given us for high prices for homes are that people outside our country remit money. There is also the issue of high prices of gas. The whole world is now facing recession. The prices of gas which produce products that are used to build have all gone down. Could he tell the House whether we are likely to see the prices of houses in Kenya fall? view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) why Mr. Lekula Lesudo (P/No.180239) has not received his retirement benefits since he retired on 19th February, 1980; and, (b) when the payment will be made. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is very much aware that Marsabit is endowed with winds. What is the Ministry doing to harness the wind that is there instead of always relying on diesel-run generators? The rest of the world is moving away from generators to renewable energies. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of Mr. Lekula who has not been paid his pension for the last 29 years is a sad affair to our country. The Assistant Minister is asking me to provide information which the Government should have. How do you expect an old man who is over 70 years old to have all those documents which should be in the files of the Government of Kenya? They are turning the responsibility to the common man instead of helping him. I am asking the Assistant Minister a very simple question: What happened to the documents of ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot take such issues very lightly because this man is going blind and he has no penny in his account. The Assistant Minister has asked me to provide all these information. However, I will request the Chair to defer this Question and if it is okay, the matter be referred to the Ministry of Finance. view
