• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to oppose this Motion. You know very well that among the days that are allotted for business in this House, three out of the four days in a week are allotted for Government Business. It is, therefore, very sad for the Government to come here to move a Motion indicating that they have no business. A Government that has no business should actually resign and allow another Government to come in its place! view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we on this side of the House are very eager and have alacrity in terms of pursuing business. We are just hoping that the Government will take the challenge that Kenyans have bestowed upon them and bring business here today for us to transact. You are aware, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that parts of our country are faced with floods and there are no roads. Our money, set aside for the construction and repair of roads, is locked up somewhere in the Ministry of Finance because of redtape in the Ministry of Roads and ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, part "b" of the Question indicates that there is increased high school dropout rates. However, the Assistant Minister merely responded about primary schools. Could she state whether the Government has ever sponsored public boarding schools in Teso District, because the answer she has given pertains to primary schools only? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this incident happened in November, 2003, four years ago. Only two activities have taken place. A file has been forwarded to the AG and an inquest has been recommended. Is the Assistant Minister satisfied that his department is efficient when it has taken four years to do just two things? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether he is aware that South Nyanza Sugar Company has been operating without a substantive Chairman of the Board and with an acting Managing Director for the last four months; (b) why this situation is allowed to prevail; and, (c) the fate of performance contracts for both the management and the Board. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the month of May, last year, the head of Government came to South Nyanza and said that the crushing capacity of SONY Sugar Company would be expanded twofold. Is the non-appointment of the Chairman of the Board for the last five moths a way of expanding this company? Is the Government not killing SONY Sugar Company, contrary to what the head of Government told the people of South Nyanza and they clapped for him? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Government has been famous for performance contracting. In the absence of a substantive chairman, and in the presence of an acting Managing Director, who is the person who can enter into binding and legal agreements on behalf of this State Corporation? I am asking this because when the acting MD goes to banks he is told: "You are merely acting; we are not sure if you will be there next week". view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 2 be amended by inserting the following new definition in its proper alphabetical sequence:- "sugar miller" means a person licensed to operate a sugar mill or a jaggery mill in Kenya for the productionof sugar including refined sugar and other by-products. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the reason for the amendment is that there are other December 6, 2006 PARLIAMEANTARY DEBATES 4225 proposed amendments that will require the definition of "sugar miller". view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister, who is a very good friend of mine, in order to mislead the House? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just to narrow the gap between the Assistant Minister and Prof. Olweny, the importance of the sugar subsector cannot be over-emphasised. To augment the meagre earnings of the sugar subsector, it has been proposed by Government that co-generation be done. To state it very clearly does not burden the Ministry. As stated in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii), to give the Ministry about ten years to realise the per centum suggested there, is just to make it more specific. So, I would want to persuade the Assistant Minister to be magnanimous to the sugar subsector because ... view
