• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion with some riders on it. It is very important that we have national stadia that will specifically be dedicated to rugby. It is also one that talks of high performance centers of excellence. I also think that it is important that we start with one. We are always very ambitious. We had the five stadia - what we are still waiting for. It is even important that this House is apprised on how far we have gone with the five and see whether one of them can be ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, I support this Motion, it will be interesting to see how we actually follow up on it to see that it is implemented. But I just wanted to comment that of the stadia that are being constructed we can make one of them in the country to be one of our stadia on rugby. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To save on time, I will read the Statement. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: “Hon. Speaker, it is alleged that the sugar is unfit for human consumption as it contains mercury and copper which are believed to have adverse effects on the human health.” It is no wonder that even the rising cases of cancer should be attributed to this. The killer trade is not only dangerous to the health of many Kenyans who are already victims but also impacting negatively on our economy through loss of millions of shillings and evasion of the Kenya Revenue Authority taxes by the owners of the illicit trade. It is against this background that I seek a ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to bring to the attention of the House – and you have also reiterated the same – that I believe what we really want to hear as a House and as Kenyans is whether the sugar that is out in the market is safe. I want to read what they have said in the Report because we have moved from mercury to copper to lead and now to moisture. I do not know we will move to what next. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Speaker, I want to read what they have said. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: And then later come and tell us it was just cautionary. We were just cautioning you that now it is moisture. However, most importantly, in one of the conclusions, the Committees said this: “The Committee received presentations from the Ministry of Health indicating that from a sample size of 174 collected across the country 60 per cent did not meet the national standard on moisture content hence not fit for human consumption. The Ministry of Health assured the Committee that the contaminated lots are under seizure pending destruction.” Now I have a further request as they go to do their ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives regarding the contraband sugar recently seized in most parts of the country. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is alleged that the sugar is unfit for human consumption as it contains mercury and copper that are believed to have adverse effects on the human health. It is no wonder that even the rising cases of cancer could be attributed to this. Hon. Speaker, the killer trade is not only dangerous to the health of many Kenyans who are already victims but also impacting negatively on the economy through lose of millions of shillings through evasion of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) taxes by owners of the illicit trade. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chair of the said Committee on where the contraband sugar is coming from. How has it been cleared at the points of entry? Who is the importer and was the sugar inspected prior to consumption? I would like to know how the packager of the contraband sugar acquired the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KBS) stickers, given that most shopkeepers still have this contraband sugar in their possession. What are the disposal plans, if any, and measures in place to ensure the disposal mechanism is not hazardous ... view
