• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for donating to me three minutes of his time. I wish I had enough time. Nevertheless, I will make just a few points. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first point I would like to make is that the energy sector in this country is not adequately diversified. We have the potential for diversification, as indicated by the hon. Members who spoke earlier. For example, there is a lot of potential for solar energy. Government offices could use solar energy for lighting. Let the Government start with ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. This is a rare investment in this country, particularly in western Kenya in Bondo and Siaya districts where there are no private investors putting in the kind of money that has been put in the Yala Swamp. This is meant to boost development, create employment and motivate the residents of the area. Before I say much about the subject, as an hon. Member of the Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources, I would like to inform the House that we have visited this project. We have ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I ask the Chair to protect me from some hon. Members who are consulting too loudly behind me? I do not know if they can hear what I am saying. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the infrastructure has been upgraded. The investor has pledged electricity to the locals. He has put up schools and he has also pledged that he will supply electricity to those schools. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some people in that area were complaining of floods, that the investor raised the weir and there would be floods. At the moment, the height of dykes has been increased to control floods, so that the people who were complaining about floods in their fields or around their homes, will have no reason to complain. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will stop at this point. I strongly support the DFL and, therefore, the Motion. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with time, as illustrated here in this Question, the number of extension officers has gone down. That means that the remaining extension officers have more work to do because they have to cover larger areas. What is the Government doing to make them more efficient in their work particularly with regard to transport? Could the Government consider providing them with transport, perhaps, in the form of bicycles or motorcycles in order to make them more effective? view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the debate on this Bill has been exhausted. I wish to propose that the Mover be now called upon to reply. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to deliberate on a Bill that has not been brought before the House? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these multinationals have initiated very few development projects in this country with that money that they make apart from simply putting their petrol stations and other shops for those petroleum products. They are very few. If anything, let me say none. They have not even helped in putting up roads. I do not think they help the Government in improving the infrastructure in this country. So, the liberalisation that was done November 15, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3659 in this country was supposed to lead to some healthy competition in this country but it did not ... view
