• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said in my answer that the affected area was 17,000 hectares. Today, the affected area is only 500 hectares after the use of the neochetina weevils. These weevils are doing a good job. They have reduced the total acreage which was infested by the water hyacinth. The Ministry is doing a lot for anybody to say that we are running away from this. However, we cannot completely destroy the water hyacinth using the neochetina weevils because if they have nothing to feed on in the lake, they will die and the weed will grow again. ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has solved about 75 per cent of the problem.

Notices have been issued to the people who are discharging their waste into Lake Victoria. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you do not just wake up and say that you want to take the Government to court! If there is anything wrong in the sub-locations, locations or divisions, it should be addressed from the lowest levels of administration and then information given to the Ministry. We want to give Kenyans proper service. view

• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, I have said in my reply that there is a rehabilitation programme going on. Once that is completed, then we are going to do the needful by taking the waste to Kariobangi for sorting and, again, to Ruai. That would be the final destination. view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the preamble to my answer, I have said that, once the rehabilitation of the Dandora Dump Site is completed, and the Kariobangi site has been constructed to the required standard, we will take all the waste to Kariobangi for sorting, and then to Ruai. So, the Dandora Dump Site will no longer be a health hazard to the people. I can tell you that we will change that place to be a recreational centre! 3428 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 12, 2008 view
