• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to say this to this House; my Committee has fought so hard and I want to confirm that the money is now back. We are just waiting so that on Friday, we get the documentation. You will even see a letter from the Cabinet Secretary directing all hon. Members to constitute Committees. So, you need to thank the Cabinet Secretary. We have fought hard to make sure that the money is there and I want to guarantee so. The money is there and hon. Members need to go ahead and constitute committees and hopefully, before ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. It is true that we have seen a letter which was written by the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure. Hon. Members will agree with me that the letter has come as a result of a lot of pressure. We will have the last meeting on Tuesday, 23rd. I want to assure hon. Members who are here that we will get our money. We have agreed that the money for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) will be there. We are just waiting to have a meeting on Tuesday, 23rd July, 2013, with Mr. Rotich, ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Motion. First, the issue of recycling waste in Nairobi has been in place for many years. I remember there was a time that the then Nairobi City Council (NCC) with the World Bank had come up with a feasibility study on how they will establish a recycling plant in Ruai. At that time, the NCC set aside over 1,000 acres in Ruai to put up this plant. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This is an issue that has been left to the City of Nairobi and yet the population is now close to 5 million people. This matter should not be left to Nairobi City alone. This matter should be looked at by both the National Government and now the county government. Why do I say this? This is because I know the amount of money that is involved. The Nairobi County Government cannot make it alone. However, if it joins forces with the National Government, it will be able to handle it. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I was in America a month ago and a delegation of senior officer from the National Government and the County Government to find out how we can set up the recycling plant in Dandora. Such trips have been there all these years. Every year you will hear that there is a delegation from this country visiting another country but no report is given on how this City can be saved. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: It is high time that this Government stopped wasting money on these joyride trips. This is because they do not add value at the end of the day. If they add value, no reports have been given. This has not happed for five or ten years. I have been in the NCC for many years and establishment of a recycling plant has been there all these years but nothing has come up. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support Hon. Gakuya and say that it is high time that this matter was discussed by the Department of Environment, the Governor of Nairobi County and all of us as residents of Nairobi so that we can get a solution. This is because we cannot talk about Dandora all the years. We have been talking about the Dandora dumpsite for almost 20 years now. Will we still continue to talk about Dandora dumpsite without offering a solution? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The people who have grabbed the 1,000 acres meant for a recycling plant in Dandora should return it to the Government. They are subdividing that land even now and the Government should move in and stop the grabbing of that land. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion. view
