• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to start with the definition of a "public officer" and I can see right there that it means "a person in the service or holding office under the Government of Kenya". That one brings a lot of problems to those who are Ministers and Assistant Ministers. They cannot be founding members of a party, neither can they be officials. That definition is faulty. It should be clarified that Members of Parliament, Ministers, Assistant Ministers and councillors are not covered by that definition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other amendment I ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that there are very many poor Kenyans who are not able to pay the fees required to process title deeds? Could the Government consider exempting them from paying these fees, so that they can get their title deeds? view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is an immediate solution that can be taken by the Ministry to ensure that more students with minimum grade C+ can go to the university. Is the Assistant Minister aware that the major reason why we are not admitting many grade C+ students is because we are not allowing students to be day scholars? Could the Ministry change the April 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 741 policy and facilitate those students who can get accommodation near the campuses to be day scholars? view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am impressed by the Minister's answer and I want to ask him whether he could consider Runyenjes Stadium for upgrading. I am ready to top up with the CDF. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this April 10, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 477 wonderful opportunity to comment on this important Report of the 4th Session of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, held in Vienna. May I start outright with a general comment that the ACP-EU regional co-operation is critical and important. It is, indeed, the future. The national trade within the nation is not enough. We need to go beyond Kenya. With the ACP-EU co-operation we have now come to the limit in a way. The significance of the ACP-EU is that we have a larger ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that following constant power failure at the New KCC Runyenjes cooling plant due to irregular power supply, dairy farmers from Embu and Meru South districts have incurred huge losses in respect of unsold milk? (b) If the answer to (a) above is in the affirmative, what is the Government and/or the New KCC Ltd doing to ensure that a generator is fixed at the Runyenjes Cooling Plant? view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy with the answer from the Assistant Minister. However, I can see that the purchase of a generator will be considered during the next financial year and yet, we are losing a lot of milk. Farmers are incurring huge losses. I am also grateful for the idea of bringing a milk tanker. That will be a short-term measure. I have just rung Runyenjes and it has not arrived. When will the tanker arrive? view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when exactly will the tanker arrive? I hope it will come next week because a lot of milk is being wasted. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is aware that the cooling plant at Runyenjes serves the entire districts of Embu and Meru South. There is no other milk processing plant in Eastern Province and yet, farmers continue to produce more and more milk. Could the Assistant Minister consider constructing a new processing plant at Runyenjes to serve the people of Eastern Province? view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the speakers are repeating themselves, would I be in order to request that you close the debate? view
