• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have been trying to catch your eye for a long time because hon. Members are giving misleading information to this House. I want to seek your indulgence; my point of order is directed to hon. Kabando wa Kabando and hon. Orengo. Are the Minister for Lands and the Assistant Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports in order to come here and make this House a theatre of the absurd when they know that some Ministers who are sitting in this House are the landlords of those properties ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: That is a point of information! view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the sandblasting uses compressors to spray sand against the jeans. The sand contains crystal in silica or silicon oxygen particles which, when inhaled get impeded in lungs and cause respiratory diseases. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says it only affects workers. However, given what gets impeded is the particles, could he confirm what technology is used to clear those particles from faded jeans? If he does not have a way of knowing that it is cleared from faded jeans, then it does not just affect the workers, but the wearers of the faded jeans. They are worn by young people. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take up the challenge that the Assistant Minister has given us; that if you have any scientific proof, that we can provide it. I would be very willing, save that I am a lawyer, and the country has a whole Ministry in charge of that. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: This is the relevant Ministry. Have they done any research on this? If you paint a house, for instance, the persons, who have the direct impact get very affected. But a person who comes one month later, who is prone, or who may have an allergic reaction to that paint would still be affected one month later. Has the Government of Kenya - not the UK, who have done their own research and stopped - done any research to show that the residues do not remain in these “faded jeans” and thereby cause health risks to our young people, including ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had raised the issue of flooding in Lambwe in a place called Ogando where people are not getting any assistance. Every day they are told to go to Obongo to get assistance, but they do not get any form of assistance. So, I think that wherever the Minister is, she must be concentrating in one place and yet this problem is widespread. So, is he order to mislead the House that the Minister is on the ground assisting and she is not in those places? view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Industrialization:- (a) whether the Government is aware that most “ faded jeans ” are made using sandblasting, which can cause illness or death; (b) whether the Government is aware that most International Clothing Companies such as Marks and Spencer, Levis and H&M stopped their usage in December 2010; and, (c) what the Government is doing to warn Kenyans, particularly young persons, against the dangers of such clothing. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Mover and the Assistant Minister for donating time to me. I do not come from a tea- growing area, but I went to a school in a tea-growing area. We must take cognizance of the fact that the world is now a global village and each country must know what their competitive niche is. Every country must be treated the way you would treat a company. In Kenya, we must declare our competitive niche, whether it is tea, coffee, fishing, or tourism. If we outline five areas which Kenya should ... view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank my senior counsel for giving his Statement and also thank his senior counsel, hon. Olago, for also responding. He has indicated that in two weeks the Government will give a comprehensive statement on what they will do and yet, we know that there is a court case and an appeal. He is not the Chief Justice, the last time I checked. He is short of defying the court. I am more interested in him saying that he is not in contempt of the court, because I am very keen on following ... view
