• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know of any section of the law within the constitutional review process which says that President Mwai Kibaki, hon. Raila or hon. William Ruto, could not conduct any civic education programme anywhere. I do not know of any law which could have prohibited them from undertaking some civic education at that time. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that. I did not even say that we wear red and green. He is putting words in my mouth. All I said was that there is no law that bars anybody; either the President, Prime Minister or any Member of Parliament to undertake some voluntary civic education in their respective areas or any part of the country. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that on the last issue about the investigations about the Uhuru Park incident, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security will make a formal statement on that matter. He is prepared to make it on Tuesday next week. That will deal with the matter. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, I am trying to summarize that. I agree with hon. Millie Odhiambo- Mabona that, that is an issue that we will have to raise officially as a concern. Children must be protected in this process; whether we are campaigning from the “Yes” or the “No” side. We have to abide by the law and we must not subject our children to such things. We should not use them to advertize in a negative or scary context. We must keep children away from this process in accordance with the law. Mr. Ruto, you are a decent man. You will appreciate ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: That is true. I will do that. I also want to state that the concerns raised by hon. Dr. Eseli about rigging will be conveyed to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission. It is their duty to conduct that and if there are any public concerns in potential areas, I think they should be highlighted in advance so that, as they make their final preparation for the conduct of the civic elections, they can take the necessary precautions where there are fears of any kind. Lastly, I just want to say that when hon. Mutula was dealing with aspects of prisons, ... view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The balance that is owed to the Municipal Council of Naivasha from the Lake Naivasha Growers Association after payment of the first Kshs10million is Kshs1.4 million. (b) I want to state here that the audit of the amount owing has already been conducted and we have directed the Municipal Council of Mombasa to pursue the other cess payers for the outstanding balance. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I was talking about Naivasha. It is Lake Naivasha and I said Naivasha Municipal Council. That is what I said. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that the issue of rates in this particular aspect was discussed with the Municipal Council of Naivasha and the Lake Naivasha Growers Association. An understanding was reached because it should be noted that stakeholders or Local Authorities also have the authority to negotiate because they are supposed to be supportive in getting them to do business. It was agreed that the members would be contributing at the rate of Kshs2 per square metre view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: of their cultivated area which would then be payable to the Municipal Council of Naivasha. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that is a completely different question. However, one thing I know is that the flower growers of Naivasha have made substantial contributions and, if indeed, one takes a tour of that area, you are likely to find that there are either hospitals or schools that have been built by these flower institutions and they are supporting the community in that area. I would be willing to give a more elaborate position of their social-corporate responsibility and what each flower farm is undertaking. That would be a separate answer. But I can tell you ... view
