• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the level of taxation on some of the petroleum products also makes the particular products too expensive for Kenyans. Therefore, the Government should think about this and do something about it. The level of taxation on certain petroleum products should be reduced. I thought that the oil pipeline that was constructed from the Coast all the way to western Kenya was supposed to reduce the cost of petroleum products. I do not think it has done so. The cost of diesel and petrol has not reduced significantly even though the products are transported upcountry mainly ... view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Which companies are currently licensed to import sugar? (b) How much sugar has each company imported since January 2006, and what measures are in place to safeguard the local sugar industry? (c) Could the Minister apprise the House on the rules that govern exportation of agricultural commodities from one COMESA country to another? view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to lodge a complaint that I have not received the list that the Minister has talked about. However, of late, there have been complaints about sugar coming from Egypt. I wish to know from the Minister whether Egypt is a net importer or net exporter of sugar. From those regulations, I suppose that a net importer for a particular commodity may not export to another COMESA country. view

• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue arose when the community complained to me. I went to the former Police Commissioner myself and he told me to put the complaint in writing to him which I did. He wrote to the OCPD on the ground and members of this community April 19, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 517 in question went to discuss with him. It was agreed that officers would be posted to the two centres. I am thankful that one centre already has two police officers. I do not know whether it is a police base or a police post, but ... view

• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Assistant Minister to confirm to us if it is the duty of the community to house the police officers or whether it is the Government's responsibility to ensure that the police officers get accommodation. After all, they are given house allowance and the taxpayers pay for those services. view
