• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, like other Ministries, has embarked on a programme of deepening e-governance. This entails among other things computerisation and acquiring the skills and also the management of, perhaps, the best designed ministerial web-page in this country. The modest resources are meant to cater for what we are able to do. We would have done much more if we had more money than that. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, 2412 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 Sir, whereas we desire that the work of the Business Rent Tribunal be decentralised, with the resources that we have, we have started with the step of being mobile and going out to the district. There has been a very significant reduction of the backlog of cases because of this efficient outreach work ethic. When we have sufficient resources and we can expand the employees of the tribunal, we should be able to decentralise. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the regional integration initiative that is domiciled in my Ministry is COMESA, and payment is to our officers and our contribtution to the permanent staff of COMESA. We are the Ministry that pays the cheque on behalf of the Kenyan taxpayers. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, like I said, there are two components here; our representation at regional organisations and our contribution to the budget of regional organisations.

• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is a new line of Government resource allocation which is being chanelled through KIRDI that has not been there before, and that is why there is a doubling of allocation as grants to other Government agencies. We have been requesting for certain grants for KIRDI, which have not been forthcoming, and with the Government that has witnessed such a growth in public resources, we were able to get substantially more than we ever got from KANU. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I will try to say is the following: Over the years, and I even mentioned here about the resources for research, the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) has been having a standing application to Government for more resources. Now, as part of the new Government grants to different Government agencies, KIRDI has been given this grant. Together with the one line item that other grants are going to other Government agencies, KIRDI has received this Kshs100 million in addition to what it normally gets. That is why you are seeing that substantial ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the KIPT does not only exist but it is in the competent hands of your village mate and former classmate, a gracious lady called Lillian Wanjira, who view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I do not know what relationship exists between them but I know that it exists. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to address you and confirm that the KIPT does exist and is very competently run by a 2414 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 gracious lady. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on the issues of the KIPO, it is important to understand that the computerisation of the recording of patents, utility models in this country and the public awareness about how to get trade marks and patents for their intellectual property is taking so much more required resources than we were able to use even as of now.
