• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may not have that information as of now, but I do know that the factory is still intact and we have divided a section of it.

• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the word "grabbed" belongs to the hon. Member. I said the land had been allocated to other individuals and, therefore, the most prudent way was to buy back the land. view

• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Mumias Sugar Company is considering the possibility of establishing a sugar factory in Tana River District. (b) The feasibility study on the viability of the project is underway, as the bids for the consultancy of the study were advertised on 5th November, 2006. Therefore, I cannot table any document to that effect. (c) The Mumias Sugar Company Board, through the Human Resource and Strategy Committee, passed the resolution on 6th July, 2006, mandating the miller to undertake the said project. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said in my reply, the issue of expenses does not arise at this stage, because the bids were advertised on 5th November, 2006. This, therefore, means that it is when all the bids come in that we shall know the cost of the said feasibility study. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what my colleague is implying is that, he wants me to preside over the tender. I cannot give an assurance because we do not know who are going to send in the bids. As I said, the advertisement went on air on 5th November, 2006. Therefore, it is entirely up to the tender committee to preside over, taking into consideration the issue of costing. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can confirm that the tender has not been concluded. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, initially Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA) had entered into agreement with some company with a view to setting up a factory. But what I have in mind, and what the Question is referring to, is a new advertisement that was placed in the newspapers on 5th November this year. I have a copy of the advertisement here to prove that particular point. So, we are dealing with two different stories. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Article 22 and Article 101 of the Articles and Memorandum of Association of the said company, it is at liberty to enter into any enterprise that is, in the opinion of its directors, going to have good returns on its investment. view
