• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been standing up since this matter started. I have a point which I feel should have come out. When the Prime Minister was giving his explanation, it came out very clearly that the reason we are in this problem is because some staffers at the World Bank leaked out a document which was internal. Last year, I together with Members from Western Province pursued the matter of the Western Kenya Community Driven Flood Mitigation Project and it came out very clearly that the gravity of that project as was released to the media was much ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I was raising this matter was because to me this matter amounts to the World Bank employees interfering in the affairs of Kenya. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister is trying to miss a very important point here. We know that the films are classified and they can only be shown at certain times. But what hon. Members are up against is: Even if you go to Citizen TV now, they are showing very prurient movies which are not fit for the family and people at home. Even KISS TV and all of them are doing it. That is the point we are asking the Assistant Minister to clarify. What action is he taking? They ... view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice: (a) Is the Minister aware that Chogoria Road within Nairobi Industrial Area is currently in a deplorable state of disrepair with vegetation sprouting in the middle, despite the road having been tarmacked only recently? (b) What urgent measures will the Minister take to rehabilitate the road, in view of the economic losses being occasioned to the many businesses in the area? view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Assistant Minister is aware, the situation on this road is actually dire. As I speak now, water ponds have formed on what was formally the road surface. There are trees growing on the road. I appreciate what he says that work will start in January, but the businesspeople cannot access their premises. What immediate action can he take, so that these people access their businesses? view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister profusely for undertaking to ensure that some works start on the road in the next two weeks. However, last week I had pictures here showing the deplorable state of the road. Could I, through the Chair, plead with him to use some of the emergency funds that they have to start some work on the road in the next one week? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Chogoria Road within Nairobi Industrial Area is currently in a deplorable state of disrepair, with vegetation sprouting in the middle, despite the road having been tarmacked only recently? (b) What urgent measures will the Minister take to rehabilitate the road, in view of the economic losses being occasioned to the many businesses in the area? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have discussed this matter with the two Assistant Ministers, but as they go to answer the Question, it is important they appreciate the gravity. The state of Chogoria Road is a shame to the people of Kenya. You have view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: growing in the middle of the road and part of the road is being used as a garbage dumping site. There is a big pool in the middle of the road. This is a shame! As the Assistant Minister comes to answer the Question, one of the most important things that he should tell us on Tuesday is what immediate steps he is taking to make sure that these people who pay levies can access their business premises. As it stands now, they cannot. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think other than the wording, it is basically similar. What we are trying to do is just to--- view
