• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stated before, all the land belongs to the SFT. This is not trust land and so, the council has no powers in allocating. I would not be in a position to know who particularly allocated this, unless I was to do a search in the Ministry of Lands and find out the details. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, through collective responsibility, I can inquire from the Ministry of Lands about the various lands transactions that have taken place and then come and give a substantive reply. I have no problem with that, but I would request for a little time so that we can go--- view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Two weeks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, let me apologize for not being in the House this morning. There were quite a number of developments within the Ministry, including the resignation of the substantive Minister. For that reason, may I ask for permission to be allowed to transact business in the House? view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the City Council of Nairobi has faced challenges in the provision of basic services. I would like to inform the House that the solid waste collection services were adversely affected by the downing of tools in September and October, 2011 by the Council’s hired solid waste contractors.

• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, presently, the daily pile up of garbage is to the tune of 2,000 metric tonnes a day. We have now decentralized up to ward level and have a total of 508 lorries collecting garbage. We are trying our very best with the resources available. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, I will say that the challenge of collecting 2,000 metric tonnes is big. We have a tabulation of collection which I can make available to the honourable Member because it is pretty long. However, just to touch a few of the major areas where collection is done, there is Burma Market, Eastleigh Second Avenue, Gikomba Market, Machakos Country Bus Station and General Waruinge Street. Since the list is long, I can avail a copy to Members for scrutiny. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has not subcontracted. However, the NCC has subcontracted the service. I do not have the details of each and every subcontractor who collects garbage here. If you want substantive information on that, it can be provided even from my office. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for all intents and purposes, that is a substantively different question and that is why I gave that answer. As far as information on the dumpsters of Kamukunji is concerned, that is where I kept the realm of my answer. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of solid waste collection is complex. It obviously, requires not only short-term measures but also long-term measures. One of the long term /medium term measures is the implementation of a project in collaboration with the Japan International Agency (JICA). We signed a solid waste management in March--- view
