25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, July 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 15 Sir, hon. J.M. Mutiso, the hon. Member for Kilome, requested a Ministerial Statement on the ban on plastic carrier bags. On behalf of the Minister for Local Government, who is out of the country, I beg to make the following Statement. Plastic waste is a major environmental and public health problem in Kenya, especially in urban areas. The management of plastic waste is often weak due to lack of appropriate planning, inadequate governance, poor technology, poor enforcement of existing legislation and the absence of policy incentives to promote environmentally sound plastic ...

25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first clarification has been sought by hon. J.M. Mutiso, and it is about the enforceability of this 30 microns rule and how people are required to know the micrometres. In the first instance, the local authorities have been asked to go slow on this matter, so that the Ministry, together with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) may look at this situation. Come January 2008, I expect that something will be done about it. With regard to hon. Angwenyi's question about the Act coming into effect as from 1st January, 2008, and what will happen ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Ministry has given an undertaking that every constituency will have a village polytechnic that will be refurbished and staffed by the Ministry. Provided there is not any other village in Rongo, the Kitere Youth Polytechnic will be taken care of by the Ministry.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, we will have to ensure that there are 210 village polytechnics which have been taken care of. Then, the second round is to see where there is a necessity for a second village polytechnic in every constituency. I hope Rongo Constituency will be included in that programme.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very fair question. I will ensure that a list of all the polytechnics that have been selected, as number one and two, is furnished to the House.

18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just as the previous Questioner, Eng. Muriuki, stated; there has been communication from the Ministry to all the District Commissioners in the country, to furnish the names of two polytechnics. If there are no polytechnics in Ijara or other constituencies, then, it is really the responsibility of the hon. Members to indicate that or start them and give the names to the Ministry, which will take care of them.

18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is an amount of money in the Budget which has been allocated for this purpose. We expect, during this financial year, that all the polytechnics will be equipped. But, as we are aware, sometimes, there is a delay. As a result, unfortunately, the money goes back to the Treasury and, therefore, we have to re-apply for it again. But I want to give an assurance that the Ministry of Youth Affairs intends to ensure that the polytechnics are fully equipped, because we know the number of youth who need to undergo training in these polytechnics ...

18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Minister for the way he moved his Vote. But more so, I really want to congratulate him and his team for the way that he has overseen the implementation of the Free Primary Education Programme (FPEP). It is special in the whole of Africa and many other developing countries. I know the FPEP has brought about a lot of challenges. One of them as mentioned by the immediate speaker is an addition of 2 million pupils in our primary schools.
