• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. On pPage 648, Head 741, Kenya Industrial Property Tribunal (KIPT), could the Minister tell us whether this tribunal is functional so that we can provide for all these other costs? I can see they are very modest but I just want the Minister to allay fears that this tribunal is not moribund. Secondly, on page 649, there is the Kenya Industrial Property Office, (KIPO) the first Item which is "Current Grants to Government Agencies" and other levels of Government. I understand that the KIPO is the sole repository of all the information on patents, ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Mover of this Motion for, first, acceding to our cumbersome and tedious procedures in making laws. The CDF Act is one of the most recent Acts but there was wisdom when it was crafted. What has not been captured by very many people in this country is that, it provides for statutory reporting within a period of two years. The Select Committee has complied with that statutory requirement and made a report. Indeed, as would be expected with anything new, teething problems have been identified. Those who have cared to ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 649, Head 737, Export Promotion Council (EPC) Headquarters, there is a constant allocation of Kshs82 million plus. Could the Minister inform the House whether with this constant allocation, there is a chance that the Council will ever be known in the rural areas because all these are concentrated at the headquarters? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on pages 654 and 655, Head 752, the reason I have reffered to both pages because one is headed "Foreign Trade Services - Headquarters" and the other one on page 655 is-headed--- view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is Head 752, Foreign Trade Services where it is indicated as Item 141-0500 - "Other Property Income; Kshs850,000". I am just curious as to what it is that the Ministry, even in as much as they are being allocated a paltry sum, it looks like also what they get as Appropriations-in-Aid (A-in-A) because this is shown as A-in-A is so meagre. What is the difference between "Foreign Trade Services" and "Foreign Trade Services - Headquarters?" view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am on page 374, Head 796, Exporting Processing Zone Authority, Item 311-0500. There are only three Items under this Head. I am referring to the second Item - Construction of Civil Works. Last year, there was no provision for this Item, but this year and the year after there is a provision of Kshs50 million. I just want to know whether the Ministry is the one which will construct these facilities for the Export Processing Zones Authority. The second Item is on research, feasibility studies, project preparation and design and has a provision of ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to focus on page 375, Head 744, Department of Internal Trade. Just like I raised this matter in my contribution yesterday, you can see that there is a sum of Kshs43,500,000 which is entitled: "Subsidies to Small Businesses, Co-operatives and Self-employed". I am raising this issue because the Minister, even though he had promised me yesterday that he would respond to this matter, should tell us today how this is going to be done to the satisfaction of every Kenyan. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that the Minister is now saying that he will publish the district books to show allocations. The practice has been, including last week and the week before, that as we debate we should be having those district allocations so that we do not raise questions. We would be able to see, for example, Kakamega, Mbeere, Wajir or Kirinyaga has been allocated this or that amount of money. Now the Minister is simply giving an undertaking. If you recall, last week and the week before, there was hue and cry July 26, ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 375, Head 746 - Kenya 2420 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 Institute of Business Training, Item 3111100 - the only one there - there is an allocation of Kshs5 million this year. It was not there last year. Next year, it will rise to Kshs5.46 million. The year after, it will rise to Kshs6.4 million and so on. It is titled: "Purchase of Specialised Plant Equipment and Machinery." An amount of Kshs5 million to purchase specialised plant equipment and machinery looks like a big joke! Could we hear from the Minister? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Which ones? Computers? view
