• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Indeed, this has been verified severally by NEMA through several environmental impact assessments (EIA) and audit reports which are available to the public for perusal. Compensation, therefore, is not available at the level below the accepted occupational health safety records. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: With regard to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), farmers pay a certain reduction of 1 per cent of the value of the crop delivered to the NCPB. The stocks in Naivasha Depot are normally transferred from other maize-producing regions to be availed to the customers around Naivasha.

There are so many ... view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, on the NCPB, you cannot levy cess on them. This is because Naivasha is not a maize-producing region. The maize you find in Naivasha has come from elsewhere and cess has already been paid at the point of purchase. So, I would advise him to go for those two options and Naivasha Municipal Council will be in a position to deliver services. I know that the main problem was the abolition of Graduated Personal Tax and also, the service charge. If there was service charge, then all the workers in the flower firms and hotels would ... view
