• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join others in contributing to this Motion. I rise to strongly support this Motion. I want to say that, while we appreciate what the two parastatals, KenGen and TARDA are doing in this country, we are asking if really they are not able to control the water. First of all, if they need water, they should ensure that they control it so that it does not wash away farmers’ crops and ordinary view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: downstream. Hon. Speaker, Sir, these are big companies which should use experts to make sure that rain water is conserved and is used to generate power. They should also help people living there by introducing irrigation so that farmers can boost agricultural or other farming activities in the area. These are the companies that we expect to improve agriculture and, therefore, help in increasing food security in this country. Hon.

• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank hon. James Gakuya for bringing this Motion at a time when the entire world is looking at Nairobi as a hub of business in this region. view

However, Nairobi is now full of garbage and, as Members of this House, we must raise our concerns. The authorities must be reminded that garbage is becoming a nuisance. The cleanliness of our city is, therefore, under question. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I have also visited some cities outside Africa and garbage is recycled. I do not see why, after all that time, Nairobi has not thought of that. It is time that the county or the Government of Kenya thought of recycling garbage in order to reduce it. Garbage should not be thrown as it is. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This City is very important in Africa. Even leaders in Africa would like to learn from Nairobi how we handle garbage. We are facing the same problem even in our small towns like Mombasa and Kisumu. People are not worried about mosquitoes as the hon. Member has put it. You will find flies everywhere. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion and urge the Government to allocate some money to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources so that it can start constructing a recycling plant in order for garbage to be removed from this City and make it clean. This is the only City that we are proud of. In fact, this is Kenya. Nairobi is Kenya and Kenya is Nairobi. We must keep Nairobi clean. view
