• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the causes of cancer of the oesophagus is radiation. Could the Assistant Minister investigate the allegation that radiation matter was dumped in North Eastern Province because radiation is one of the causes of this particular cancer? view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sure when the hon. Member, who is a medical doctor, came to be a Member of Parliament, he was not an expert in parliamentary matters. I have done adequate research through e-Parliament and can confirm to him that this is one of the causes of cancer. Can he confirm whether he has done some research on cancer? view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether he is aware that the cost of water under the Nyakach Water Supply Scheme is frequently increased by various percentages ranging from 10 to 40 percent contrary to the Water Act; (b) whether he is further aware that the scheme was constructed using cheap plastic pipes which burst regularly resulting into billing for water not supplied; and, November 14, 1006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3601 (c) what action he is taking to stop the erratic rise in the cost of water to the people of Nyakach and curb faulty invoicing for water not ... view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the 1970s, the Government told Kenyans that by the year 2000, there will be water in all parts of Kenya. In the 1980s and 1990s, we were promised that industrialisation would be achieved by 2020. Now we have another one; 2030 Vision. I wish to express my disappointment on a very defensive answer given by the Assistant Minister. This habit and tradition by Ministers of sending Questions to the ground without sending a research officer has become rampant. We now have a clear example of this fact going by the answer given by the Assistant Minister--- view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this scheme was commissioned in 1987, which is 20 years ago. It is, therefore, not correct to say that the tariffs have never been changed as stated by the Assistant Minister. Twenty years ago--- view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, water meters were installed 20 years ago. Could the Assistant Minister confirm or deny that those old metres may very well be responsible for the overcharging that the wananchi are complaining about? view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nyakach Constituency comprises of valleys, hills and plateaus. When will the Assistant Minister make this scheme a fully gravity led scheme so that we are not inconvenienced by the frequent breakdowns of the pump which lead to erroneous billing? 3602 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 14, 2006 view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. People are dying by the minute. May I appeal to your discretional powers to, at least, to ask the Assistant Minister to issue the Statement on Tuesday? view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I fully agree! view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice to those hon. Members who support this Motion. I believe that petrol affects our lives far beyond an ordinary commodity. In addition to affecting transport, petrol affects the poor, especially those who 3494 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 8, 2006 use kerosene. Petrol increases the prices of transportation. Today, a worker in Nairobi spends almost 40 percent of his or her income on transport. The figures given by Mr. Ojode of our workers coming from Mathare and Kibera are true. Most of them would rather prefer to walk to ... view
