• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that would never be the intention of my Ministry. I wish to also confirm that until about two years ago, the responsibility of maintaining roads in urban centres lay with the municipal council and the city councils. The Ministry would forward the funds to the local authorities and then the local authorities would undertake the work but since we took up roads in urban centres under the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), I have already detailed what we have done in only two years. I am sure that within three years, we will have corrected all ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the roads in Nairobi today are in a very despicable condition. In fact, even as we speak, the main street in Westlands is completely worn out. We have requested Treasury to allocate sufficient funds for us to improve especially the business areas, which include Eastleigh, among others. Once those funds are allocated, we will put them into proper use and address the roads that have been mentioned. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that particular question was not covered under the main Question that had been presented to us, which was specific to Eastleigh. However, if the hon. Member wants me to provide him with all the information about all roads within Kamkunji Constituency, I will provide the same and give him a work plan that indicates which road is allocated what amount and at what stage we are in the procurement process. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will do as much. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it is known to all of us that the term “learned friend” is used by lawyers while referring to other lawyers. To the best of our knowledge, Dr. Khalwale is a medical doctor and a gynaecologist. I am sure that term cannot be extended that far. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to participate in this very important debate on the Motion. I wish to start on the outset by congratulating the Mover of this Motion who is not here now, but nevertheless, he has done well for the people of Kenya and, more so, for the many farmers out there who have educated their children and fed their families through the growing of coffee and tea. As you know, in the recent years, we have had significant challenges in these two crops and I think this Motion is very timely because it ... view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Lastly, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to also raise concern that in the western markets and more so in Europe, there has been concern about what they call “fair trade.” If you go and look at the farmers who produce some of the major cash crops in Africa, you will find that they are very miserable. I know that whenever companies like Tesco in the UK want to buy any cash crop coming from Africa, they would like to see how farmers are treated. If you look at the lives that some of our coffee and tea farmers lead, ... view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the urgency of the matter, I undertake to deliver a Statement on Thursday this week. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank the Mover of this amendment, hon. Wamalwa, and indeed, say that time has come for the country to recognize the important role played by the young people in this country, but also to realize that without proper support their contribution to the economy will probably never be realized. view
