• 22 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Transport the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What circumstances led to the crash of Kenya Airways Flight KQ507 upon departure from Douala International Airport, Cameroon in the early hours of Saturday, 5th May, 2007? May 22, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1479 (b) Could the Minister give an undertaking that the accident report will be tabled in the House as soon as it is finalised and not shelved like it happened after a similar accident involving the national carrier in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, in 2000? view
• 22 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while accepting that a report of an accident involving an aircraft may take some time, I take note of the fact that during the last seven years, 283 persons have perished in Kenya Airways aircraft on roughly similar routes. The first one, as indicated by the Minister, occurred on 31st January, 2000, during which 159 people perished, many of whom were Kenyans. The last one occurred on 5th May, 2007, in which 114 passengers perished. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm or deny that as we talk now very little of the accident investigation is going ... view
• 22 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular plane fell head first into a swampy area that turned out to be just five kilometres from the airport, far away from the 100 kilometres that we were originally informed. The last plane accident occurred in 2000. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the basis of what is available today in the internet if the Minister could just use the google search engine to locate information on the Kenya Airways accident flight 431, he will note that the full report is available to the international community but not to Kenyans and hon. Members of this House. I ... view
• 22 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question is this: Can the Minister recall that there was a Mozambican President who was lured to his death by the South African Apartheid regime through movement of the airplane and false reading of the instruments? Can we be assured that there is no competitive interest among the major plane manufacturers that has caused the delay in the release of this report? Is it the reason why the Kenya Airways today is not buying any Airbus? They are purely buying Boeing. view

• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me put it in the proper perspective for the hon. Assistant Minister. The part of Lake Victoria that is in Kenya is equivalent to the size of Central Province. Equally, Kshs5 billion worth of fish is exported every year from Lake Victoria. When is the Assistant Minister going to avail more policemen to patrol Lake Victoria apart from the six policemen who are now on location; four constables, one sergeant and one police inspector? Six people to police the size of central Kenya--- view

• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for granting me your indulgence. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are pirates who are robbing people with impunity in Lake Victoria. The continued arrest of Kenyans by neighbouring states; the continued increase of smuggling of pirated and illegal goods into Kenya through the lake--- When will the Assistant Minister establish a headquarters in Lake Victoria for the Maritime Police Unit, instead of putting the Headquarters 1,000 kilometres away in Kilindini? view
