• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the money that is sent for roads is actually a percentage of the total collections. Therefore, we are not able to know the exact amount of money until the collections have been done. However, given time, I will be able to table all the amounts allocated to the respective constituencies and hon. Members will benefit from that information. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, so, but as I have said, even in future the operational cost of these authorities will have to come from the Fund. After removing the operational cost, we will be able to divide the money equally among all the constituencies. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not too sure what the hon. Member means by “their own issue” but the law is very clear and it was made by this House. The operational costs of those authorities must be factored within the funds coming from the Kenya Roads Board. Those funds come directly to these boards. So, unless the law is amended to reflect what the hon. Member is saying, I am afraid the situation will remain the same. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to inform the Office of the Attorney-General. I think we will be able to deliver the appropriate response by Thursday, next week. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is in Mombasa, in connection with the event of 27th August, 2010. Therefore, we ask for the indulgence of the House to have the matter responded to on Thursday next week. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to second the Motion brought by the hon. Member before this House. I want to start by congratulating him for taking time to bring this Motion before this House. As we know the world over, especially in Europe, the world is turning green. I think it is important that we take the necessary measures here in Kenya to ensure that the necessary precautions are taken so that as we implement the Vision 2030 we, indeed, have what it takes to be able to get there. As the hon. Member has indicated, population has been ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the public transport sector is largely in the informal hands and is not organized. Therefore, we have seen a high increase in the number of priced vehicles being used. This means that every family has one or two vehicles. This has of course increased the rate of emissions. In many other countries where public transport is well-organized, they have big buses some of which are truncated and carry up to 160 passengers. If we introduce a properly organized public transport system, we will ensure that all the vehicles that are used everyday are, indeed, reduced. The ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the low sulphur diesel was introduced in the market a few years ago but it was largely done by the oil majors. It was done primarily because they wanted to have that niche in the market. This was not done because of the Government law or policy that compelled these companies to do that. This Motion seeks to compel the Government to ensure that we have a proper legislation to ensure that the emission rates are regulated in Kenya and that they would be able to measure up with other countries like those in Europe where ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: In Kenya, we still allow the importation of vehicles, some of them as old as eight years. As the vehicle gets older, the emissions also get higher. Most countries are looking for markets to dump these vehicles because after a certain period, the emissions become higher and, therefore, they become a big danger to the environment. We, therefore, require the necessary legislation to ensure that we have the proper guidelines to ensure that even as we develop our industries and our factories, we have a future that we can rely on. It is worth noting that the United National Environmental ... view
