• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all certainty, if the venue was not selected upon consensus and consultations from the hon. Member and her constituents, we will give them the chance to select the venue they desire. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am concerned that the Ministerial Statement being sought has raised very serious allegations on the Floor of this House. Without due substantiation, it will be very--- There are serious accusations--- view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to persuade my fellow hon. Members to look at this issue seriously. First and foremost, if you look at the amendment proposed, the intention of the Minister was to ensure that we remove the bureaucracies that, obviously, bog down the process and create efficiencies, so that we can have a very competitive environment where we have airport authorities being able to quickly utilize funds that are collected by the passenger service department. So, my persuasion to the hon. Members is that if we are looking at Vision 2030 and having competitive airports ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The construction of the bus park was terminated by the Ministry because of controversy surrounding the ownership of land which was not resolved before the Budget of 2009/2010 was prepared. Now, since the controversy has been resolved, the Ministry proposes to factor the project in the 2010/2011 Estimates. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apology for coming late. In fact, the written reply had not arrived and I was waiting for it. I sincerely apologize to the House for not being on time. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I assure the Member that all efforts will be made. However, as you are aware Supplementary Budgets are normally within the framework of the existing Budget and so, if that fails, we will factor it in 2010/2011 Budget. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we obviously are negotiating and trying to push as huge a budget allocation as possible but I think it is important to note that we were given only Kshs100 million for the construction of bus parks. With the ongoing projects it was not sufficient. However, we are pushing as hard as possible to ensure that we get a better budgetary allocation. That is obviously a factor of liaison with the Treasury and the Budget report that will be laid on the Table in June. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Joho obviously has asked a very relevant question. The course of the controversy initially was that the residents themselves did not want the location and went to court. They were given a hearing and injunction. Eventually, the contractor had to terminate the initial construction. After negotiation and arbitration, a new site was settled for. By the time the site was settled for, the Budget Estimates had been done. That is why this particular project was not factored in. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the doctrine of collective responsibility, I can only say that it is a factor that will be considered. However, I think I need to mention that the number of bus parks that are required in almost every business centre in this country are numerous. I think we need to have more innovative ideas in terms of getting them constructed. I would urge Members to consider looking into public/ private partnerships as a way of solving the problem of meeting the demand for bus parks. We will obviously look and see if we will ensure that ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I beg to second the Bill. view
