• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Are you comfortable, Mr. Minister? Go ahead! view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why the Government likes complicating issues. The issue of carbon credit is now known all over the world, especially in developing countries like ours, where people who are protecting forests are getting a lot of money. Now we are talking about the people in Mau Forest. Why can the Minister not find an easier and simpler route because what he is describing seems to be taking long and is bogged down by bureaucracy and yet we want the people within Mau to protect the forest? Why does he not find an ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support and congratulate the Committee. However, I would like the Chair of the Committee, who is right in front of me to, probably, give us some clarification because in his short presentation he has not made it clear. The last three names that I see represent certain organizations and bodies. Would I, therefore, be assuming the right thing or the wrong thing if I was to say that those are not the names that will forever be there because those offices could change? That is something he needs to clarify for ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Much as I do not want to interrupt my colleague, I would like to get a direction from the Chair. This is a view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Much as I do not want to interrupt my colleague, I want to rise on a point of order as I did last time when this Motion was being moved, to ask for the respondents of this Motion who are the Government, especially the Ministries that are mentioned in this Report, whether it is in order for us to be debating such an important Motion that affects so many Kenyans and we do not see the relevant Ministries’ representatives here? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has clearly said that this technology, when it was being used at the EPZ was harmful to the workers then. It was not until Marks and Spencers, Levies and H&M stopped their orders that the Kenyan Government then stopped using this system. Is he telling us that harmful practices of manufacturing anything in the industrial sector, whether clothes, paints, etcetera, are not serious issues for the Government until those people who are buying stop and say there are harmful practices; that is when we move into action? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister telling us that when such a process is being used that he can ascertain whether it is harmful or not? We have all heard about toys that are made using dangerous chemicals. When children are playing with them, for example, they touch their mouth and chest with them, they develop complications. Is he in order to say those particles could not also be in the faded jeans? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister uses the words “patch up, repair, re-carpet and upgrade” for the roads in Eastleigh. Since he has acknowledged that contractors have done shoddy work before, when will the Ministry realise that they need to put new roads in Eastleigh because patching, re-carpeting and upgrading those roads will never work? It has been done many times but the roads have kept going back to the same state. Is he ready to give commitment that new roads will be built within Eastleigh? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I certainly do not want to interrupt the Chair of this joint Committee. However, is it in order for us not to have the Ministers whose dockets are being seriously questioned in this Report here? They should have the courtesy to listen to the Report of a joint Committee of 40 Members of Parliament of this House! view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was asking: Is it in order for us not to have the Ministries that are mentioned in this very important Report here to respond? This is very sensitive issue. I cannot see the Minister for Lands and the Minister for Local Government. I am happy the Minister for Transport is here? view
