• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we look at the privatization, we must also look at the issue of capacity building within these societies; previously when it was with the farmers, it also came down. What reasons led to the collapse of the old KCC? We must be able to address these issues, so that we do not move from one problem to another. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: The other issue, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would want to note is that within our neighboring countries, whether you are thinking of Somalia, Southern Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and also the larger Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region, it is a milk-deficient region. Even if we were to triple our milk producing capacity, we still will not be able to meet the demand within this region. Therefore, if we are able to support New KCC, if we are able to expand the capacity of the farmers and to ensure that they are able to produce better ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I also want to note, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that within this country, we have had a serious case of malnutrition. We have seen images from Turkana before they found their oil and you know some of those images of kids who have serious malnutrition are, indeed, very disturbing. It is unfortunate that when we have surplus production of milk we are not able to convert this milk to powdered milk and to be able to supply it to some of those areas. A revitalized New KCC with better management and capacity to produce high value products will ensure that ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: With those few comments, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to end there and thank the Mover. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to answer. But I also wish to pass my apology. I was not able to answer the first time the Question was asked because I had not been able to get an appropriate answer. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apology for coming late, and I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the road reserve at English Point in Mkomani, that is Mainland North and at Allidina, that is Mombasa Island, along the old Nyali bridge has been encroached. My Ministry has taken the following measures in order to reclaim the land for purposes of construction of a second crossing bridge:- Through the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, we have identified the encroached land. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority is preparing to issue notices to the affected people to vacate in order to pave ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that the old Nyali Bridge is, indeed, part of the history of Mombasa, and there is need to ensure that we conserve that history. Nevertheless, as I have indicated, the land belongs to the Ministry of Roads and it has at no time been allocated or sold to private individuals. The people who have occupied or encroached on the land--- I have already indicated the purported numbers. The hotel located near the bridge is Tamarind Hotel Village. It is part of the people who have encroached. I want ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not possible to police all our corridors on a daily basis. Indeed, if you recall the by-passes we are constructing in Nairobi, some of them were planned in the early 1970s. The land was bought from the owners at that particular time. However, the Government did not have money to construct the by-passes then. Therefore, other Kenyans went ahead and constructed. Therefore, when you talk about encroachment, it is not just on roads; it is also on road reserves. If you look at the roads, you will also see kiosks being put up every ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whenever the Government acquires land, even if it is private land, for the purposes of constructing a road, it does that through the Ministry of Lands. Therefore, the custodian of all Government land is, indeed, the Ministry of Lands. We are currently working very closely with them to ensure that land which is earmarked for road construction, whether currently or in future is, indeed, not reallocated to other individuals. view
