• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister aware that in the newly created district, the highest ranked police officer is that of a chief inspector? When is he going to post an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) to Kandara District? view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Let me repeat the question again. Is the Assistant Minister aware that in the newly created districts like Kandara in the larger Murang’a, the most highly ranked police officer is an inspector? When is he going to post an OCPD to that district? view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Transport:- (a) whether he could state what the Ministry is doing to address the unnecessary delay in issuance of motor vehicle number plates at the Port of Mombasa to save importers from paying unnecessary storage charges; (b) whether he could consider privatizing the services; and, (c) what steps he is taking to improve the quality and efficiency of the services in general. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, there are a few clarifications that I would like him to make. Anybody who has tried to clear a vehicle in Mombasa knows that after you pay duty and clear all the other port charges, you have to wait for the number plate. A vehicle cannot leave the port without a number plate. Many people are suffering because it takes even two weeks before they get the number plates. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House who is responsible for this delay? He should ... view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still disagree with the Assistant Minister. In Kenya, there exists a Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and also a Registrar of Motor Vehicles. If those two positions are held by one person, it is not right. How can one person be allowed to hold two positions? At the same time, the Assistant Minister has said that number plates are security issues and the Ministry cannot privatize their issuance. In this country, money is printed by a private company. What is the difference between money and number plates? Why can they also not do the same with ... view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am still not satisfied here. The log books that we receive bear the logo of the KRA, but it is not the job of the KRA to print log books. It is a corporate body. This should be done by the Government Printer. Why is it so? At the same time, who should be responsible for paying the additional duty when duty has been paid and yet a vehicle cannot be released because of lack of a number plate? view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. In today’s Order Paper, the clauses that you are reading are not indicated, unless there is a Supplementary Order Paper. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) what the progress of the discussion between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Energy is on the use of the recently discovered coal as an alternative in drying tea leaves; and, (b) what the progress made on the initiative of value addition by processing tea, marketing and products’ diversification launched in Kangaita is and when the same initiative will be extended to Nduti Tea Factory in Kandara. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer he has given, but could he tell this House what has hindered production of coal? Sometimes last year around 8th of September, he told us that there were deposits in Ukambani area. What has happened since then? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, value addition means more income to the farmer. The Assistant Minister has just told us that they have only rolled it out at Kangaita. How come they have taken so long to go to Nduti in Kandara? view
