• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for defending me. I thought you wanted me to substantiate. As I finish my contribution, I want to say that I oppose this Motion because it is upon Government to bring business to the House. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not just a question of caution! The matter is already recorded in the HANSARD and I want to be challenged. The HANSARD should be produced here because we were listening to my good friend, Haji. He talked about nyama and soda. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly, I still insist that he said that! The work of producing the HANSARD is done by the Clerks. I want them to produce it and if that was not mentioned on the Floor of this House, I will be obliged to apologise to my good friend. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I was not implying anything to do with meat or anything else. My point was that we do not want flimsy reasons for us to go on recess. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will refer to my brother as hon. Haji. I appreciate that my friend, the good Minister, who was reading a newspaper this morning and you ruled him out of order, was trying to get back at me. That is fine! I think it is the spirit of the House. view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you approach Webuye Town, you are always confronted by a foul smell which comes from Pan African Paper Mills. This smell comes out the way this company disposes of their wastes. It can be harmful to the residents and workers. What is the Minister doing to ensure that the company comes up a modern way of disposing of its wastes, so as to ensure that people are not harmed by that smell? view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that the Minister has owned up that he is not competent enough to answer that question, and that it is only the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources who can do so, would I be in order to request that you defer this Question and refer it to the appropriate Ministry, so that we can get the an appropriate answer? view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that Delamere Estates, having been allocated over 50,000 hectares are only supposed to pay Kshs30,000 as taxes every year? Since 1992, the Delamere Estates have not paid taxes to the Government! I have here with 966 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 13, 2008 me a receipt from the Ministry of Lands, which shows that they owe over Kshs4 million! What is the Minister going to do to ensure that they comply? view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will all agree with me that the Minister has given us a detailed and comprehensive answer. He has actually gone out of his way even to bring us the Time magazine. It is Ministers like this one who I believe the Prime Minister is noting that they are beyond supervision, because they can do their work seriously. view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I want him to, first and foremost, address the issue of the Kenya Oil Refinery (KOR). The KOR has been there, I believe since the 1960s. It is alleged that even some of these multinationals are not paying taxes because the machines which are there are old and cannot be used and they are in a permanent state of breaking down.
