• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: seven days of the resumption of this House. We resumed last Tuesday and this is our fourth sitting day.

As things are now, and in my own opinion, the Executive is strictly within the law. view

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am on intervention. I am requesting your direction because this Motion No.9, in my opinion, has been exhaustively debated.

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Bill on Scrap Metal. I would like to say that the scrap metal sector is a very huge sector in terms of revenue and in employment creation. It is reported that the world over, about 400 million tonnes of metal is recycled every year. This results in huge revenue injected into the global economy. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in terms of employment, this sector in Kenya employs, either directly or indirectly about 500,000 people.

The biggest problem of scrap metal sector as we speak now is vandalism of public property, mostly public infrastructure. This vandalism has a lot of cost. For example, the Government has to spend millions of shillings in trying to repair or replace public infrastructure that has been vandalized. This is reversing the ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The other problems we are facing right now from lack of regulating the scrap metal sector are the high rates of accidents on our roads. This is partially attributed to vandalism of very important traffic warning signs that scrap metal thieves keep removing along the roads. The Government has tried before to stop vandalism of public property. For instance, in June 2010, there was a ban by the Ministry of Trade on scrap metal from Kenya.
