• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House should not destroy the integrity of companies or individuals who cannot defend themselves here. Now that the Minister is here, I want to know whether the hon. Member can be named for gross misconduct? I will prove it. Secondly, could this issue be referred to the House Powers and Privileges Committee under Standing Order No.88(3)? There is prove that RVR is not owned by only one company, as the Member has tried to convince Kenyans. The companies that own RVR are among others: Sheltham of South Africa, Mirambo of ... view

• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make my contribution and support this Ministry which is really important in many issues touching on the development of this country. It is also a Ministry with very able officers. I happened to work there for five years and nobody can doubt their ability to perform. If I were to gauge the ministries in performance contracting, I would award them the first slot because its effects have always been felt across the country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, it is now important for this House to ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you are safe, I do not have to substantiate your position. The Ndung'u Report is here and you can get it from the Clerk's office and the library and you will be able to know who I am talking about. If you want me to table another list I can do that tomorrow or any convenient time. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with the hon. Member because he is new. The procedures of this House are very clear that he demands for a substantiation, which I have said I can substantiate. I have told him clearly that I do not have to do that since we have the Ndung'u Report which has all the names of all the people who acquired land in Mau and it is a document of this House. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of transformers, we would like to request the Ministry of Energy to, at July 30, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2245 least, relocate those transformers to the nearest homes. They should, at least, give incentives to those homes by giving them free power connections so that they can take care of those transformers. That why, they will not be stolen each and every day and we will avoid power blackouts. They should also check the rates that they are charging. That is because the youth of this country will not be able to venture ... view

• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that some sections of Karatina Town are served by sewers which are aged and small in size and, sometimes, they get blocked due to increased sewer flow. That has, however, not resulted in sewage overflowing into Kirigo River as the blockages are dealt with immediately they occur. (b) My Ministry has been undertaking rehabilitation works aimed at improving the performance of the sewerage system for Karatina Town. Presently, my Ministry is constructing a large diameter sewer line to cater for increased sewage flow and is also conducting a ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The truth of the matter is that the sewer line is aged. It is overloaded due to population growth. This area covers Muthua, the slaughterhouse, Mathaithi and Gathungu. It is an area I know very well. We are investigating whether this sewer is overflowing because of the seepage, especially due to the heavy rains, and when there is a power blackout. However, we have allocated some funds to the District Water Officer. We are already doing half-a-kilometre, 15 millimetre, diameter which will enable us to address this issue of overloading of the sewer line. It ... view
